Do they really think they are in a Delhi street market FFS. [-(

And now they want to add an extra pick up. #-o



and of course they expect you to do that at no extra cost. :lol:

They may well have expected me to do extra for no extra, but that wasn't the final outcome.

Once I dropped them and got paid, they said they would text me the return details. They can text me what they like, but I think they will end up coming back in a Gatwick cab for the best part of double what I charged them to get there. :D



I would say more likely you will get a call "we're at Brighton station come and get us"

Traffic control f***wits.

Unable to open a road, that has been closed for the Marathon, even when the last person has ran past it 60 minutes earlier. ](*,)

Bus drivers who don't understand the mirror, signal, and manoeuver procedure.

Instead, they prefer to do it in reverse order. ](*,)
