Excellent idea. Taxis used to do this, oh waaaay back when, before it was decided they'd be better off as cheap substitute teachers than doing the intermediate class. Which was when I decided I'd be better off enjoying myself dancing than being an unpaid teacher...

Even better idea - I'd like to go to those myself!
