The common denominator amongst us mere humans is time. Every single one of us is limited by the same 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. So after swapping 40 of your precious hours a week bleeding your brains out at your corporate slave desk, some idiot on the internet tells you to get going with a side hustle.

However plans for new luxury build developments in London’s trendiest neighbourhoods have been met with disapproval by disgruntled hipsters.
‘It’s absolutely outrageous. They’ve come here and taken over our gastro pubs. …

Early feedback from passengers has been largely positive:

‘It’s cut my weekly grocery shop time in half. My mobster drives me through the supermarket. …
