Picked a couple up on Saturday night who were from Bradford, the 1st thing they said when they got in was, "F**K me a white taxi driver", can I take a photo??

Quite often its questions about the car...

How much did you pay for it?
Is it economical?
What's the mileage? Ooh that's high? Is it reliable?
How expensive is servicing?
Is it yours? Do you lease it?
How old is it?

Usually I don't mind talking about my car, particularly if they're looking to buy the same one or similar, obviously we're the best people to speak to since we do more miles than the average motorist.

Or "do you enjoy driving" when you are stuck in a big traffic jam

If I can do a twist on this thread and also add things that folks other than punters have said to cab drivers.

Best has to be "I think you have got the wrong Manchester, this is Manchester USA". :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
