good morning I from a Reno how's it
going we're just starting our day nice
and early in Leeds train station just
took the top of our first train about to
catch our second one from Leeds to Kings
Cross in London I'm very excited about a
bit of a stressful mind though I'm not
gonna lie
yeah uber what you're doing literally
ordered a newbie this morning from the
house round to the train station which
is like gonna know like a seven minute
drive and he said he was coming it was
all good well anyway it's it's way too
far to walk with cases so uber said he
was coming and then he didn't turn up on
time and I was looking on the app he
kept saying he was like stop somewhere
and then all of a sudden I got a message
saying that your view of a driver had
cancelled so I did another one and the
same thing happened it would drive a
consult I'm like what so I rang another
taxi company who by the skin of our
teeth managed to get us to the train
station as the train was pulling on to
stand so we just caught it but literally
nice on uber because if you if my other
taxi company who saved our day basically
now hadn't have turned up and done as
fast a job as they did we wouldn't have
made our train in Leeds to London and I
would have had to pay for a brand new
ticket which would have cost hundreds of
pounds so nice funny but thanks for that
