Im like 'Billy Wizz' from Essex Boys, as Im a Chauffeur for a company called Essex Limos..have a guess where they're based....

I actually really enjoy it especially Hen nights...Its not quite an Airbus but its full of PAX....

Its a bast**d to manoeuvre (left hand drive too) when reversing and whilst on little roads, my social life has vanished, the profits are miniscule, on your first 2-3 drives you have a experienced chauffeur supervising you, on your first solo mission your bricking it, no boozing prior to a drive (obviously), theres loads of waiting around, and if you prang the car your sacked...so quite good training for the Airlines I think...

In all honesty I can sit in the back and watch a DVD whilst waiting or read 'Ace to the technical pilot interview'...well if Im really bored...

Forgot to mention another thing in common with the airlines...most the PAX are pissed up as well....
