LOL @ this

Bad driving?

Would that be shall I get around the traffic or do you want another 2 quid of stopped in traffic meter added to the fare.

Overcharging?

I had this last night, fare was 4.60p, punter only ever pays 2.80p, even though it's Sunday and the lowest fare possible in town is 3.50p

Rude?

That's rich coming from the general public, Q - where would you like to go Sir? A - Grunt inbetween mobile phone call.


No doubt it goes on, but isn't it just great how we always get first blame.

I don't, but I enjoy the job and enjoy giving the best service I can to my customers.

Am I to presume, from your comments, that you have intimate knowledge of the trade and the road system in Southampton?

I know Southampton well bud, it uses half the national grid electricity powering traffic lights and speed cameras, as for the trade, you could say many vehicles as an owner on both sides and a controller when I got fed up driving and an almost firm owner 2 times, but my circumstances ruled out one attempt and the other was cos I didn't want dead wood as a partner.

WTF, is this whole site a private hire bash the hackney site, I've not had a comlaint in 23 yrs of driving a cab, sort yourself out accusing me of nothing. I run a good ship, quality car kept clean and polite, you got me wrong I think, I think it's bash the newbie, but as far as the trade goes I ain't a newbie and I probably know more about the trade inside out than most cabbies, I cannot believe you are having a go at me just because I linked a punter who thought I'd ripped her, I have a sealed meter, it's not my fault if PH compete with buses, sort it out, my record is clean unlike many others, I am what is classed as a proper cabbie, I chat and only turn if the punter is obnoxious and wrong to me.

You're priceless. :shock:

You come on here and have a go at anyone who doesn't agree with your blinkered view of the world, then accuse others of bashing you.
Are you having a giraffe? :lol: :lol:

The biggest problem you have is the first two words of the above quote. They are inaccurate :roll:

Regrettably that doesn't mean an awful lot, as most know nothing :?
