I'm presuming you mean Manchester UK as Taxi driving in Manchester would not be the best option.
There are many other options for something to do short term including Multi Level Marketing on website.ws
PM me for more info in this if you wish.
There's a few companies in the UK that offer professional shopping services, you get paid for visiting shops and writing reports on them. Sequential solutions i think is one of the companies in question.
Good luck and let me know how you get on.
