1, Yes and still do

2, Obviously

3, Never in 22 years, I usually apologise and ask what the drivers normally charge.....if they arent regulars I tell them what the fare would be and maybe knock a quid off.

Exactly the same replies as above.

3)no. being a relatively small town many drivers don't engage the meter.


Is that Legal?


probably not, but as the fare is "agreed" before leaving the pick up point, insofar the monies in your hand/bag/pocket, or you have every confidence it will be, perhaps it is.
