Hmm mm. .....
Do I detect a hint of racism in this thread tread carefully I have seen comments elsewhere about drivers in your town being too busy trying to get each other in trouble and never talking

Councils usually dismiss complaints driver to driver as commercial sabotage

You are on a sticky wicket

We have one on our fleet, does everything drivers hate. Keeps you waiting outside the pub 10 minutes before he comes out, goes 1/4 mile down the road then pays with a £20.

YOU dont like to be kept waiting, YOU dont like short journeys, YOU dont like being paid with a £20 for a £3 fare so why do YOU do it to other drivers ?

If he kept you waiting 10 mins once shame on him, if he's done it more than once shame on you.
