Visiting London with my daughter last week we took a black cab from Kings Cross to the Norfolk Hotel in Sussex Road,metered fare £9 80,another black cab from Oxford Street back to the hotel £7.80 going to the London Palladium at night we asked the hotel to arrange a cab for us, a mini cab arrived where the driver had no idea where the Palladium was and when we finally arrived there the charge was £15,black cab from the Palladium to the hotel £8. 40 on the day of departure mini cab from hotel back to KingsCross £14, morale of the story always get a black cab with a meter.

Or don't get your hotel to order you a car.

Someone has got to pay the doorman/receptionist. :roll: :roll:

Yes if can find one, your not from an ethnic minority presumably traffic was light if he could have sat in a jam he would have done, then youd find a meterd fare £30 pound+ Book a hack from a hotel and he s flagged downfor an airport he ll leave you and you miss your train/show regular scenario im afraid.

The truth. =D>

This story is repeated hundreds of times a day, but what else can you expect from the second rate service of the London Minicab?

I mean, just look at their union rep? :D

Lies Lies and more Lies.

Once again your corrupt members have brought shame on their trade, and all you can do is go into a rant about ethnic minorities, your a disgusting creature Flannagan.

and why?

The typical response of a bigoted socialist in screaming racism, thug and murderers at those that have a difference of opinion to them politically shows just how poisioned the union is against any form of democratic opinion and laughable at best when he then refers to 'democratic procedures'

No all our vehicles can take wheelchairs, I'll leave the insults and discrimination to your mob who can't take wheelchairs, and turn down people with guide dogs because of their 'religious' beliefs.

Disgusting, but not unexpected.
