Examples?

You should start by practicing the following phrases:

Yes. That booking for tomorrow is confirmed!

He'll be there in 10 minutes!

He's just coming to the end of your street now!

He did turn up on time, but you didn't answer the door!

Sorry. We have no record of your booking.

... and then practice sleeping at night while you know that they are going to be all lies!:D

Usually they are looking for experienced operators, but it doesn't hurt for you to go through Yellow Pages and give them all a call.
If you want a web site for Yellow Pages go to http://www.yell.com

Try phoning Mercury or whatever and ask them.

I think Mercury want people most of the time.

My dads a taxi driver so i'll ask him for you if you want?

Hiya...

I don't think anyone minds helping out, but you need to put a little bit of leg work in yourself.... :)

Try the phone book, and phoning them, I'm sure they'll be able to give you a name of the person you need to write/speak to. :)
