Item 21 Chauffeured by Sheila

Now that Scotland's drink driving laws are even more rigorous it's no fun going out for a night and being the DD (designated driver).  So why not let someone else do the driving for you on a night out to the theatre or a concert in Glasgow or Edinburgh or just to visit friends for a pleasant evening.  This item includes pick up from within a 20 mile radius of Gartocharn, being driven to your chosen venue and then picked up and brought home again, door to door.

Statistically women drivers are safer than men (sorry guys).  Sheila has been driving for over forty five years and has a squeaky clean driving license so you can feel confident that you will have a safe and pleasant journey.  Just sit back and ride in style.
