They stole one of my oranges once. :shock: :shock:

Still I don't know what is more strange, a thief that nicks them, or a cabby (PH variety) that eats them. :D

I had a nice little hardback atlas in the back of the motor (in the pocket behind the driver's seat).

Obviously I always meant to shift it, but couldn't really find a suitable place (except the boot), so I left it.

It was there for several years, but finally disappeared over Xmas :sad:

I'm surprised it didn't disappear ages ago, but I suppose it shows that the punters in my manor aren't that bad :shock:

If there is a better way of pi**ing people off, than the way you are repeatingly touting your wares on here, then I will be very surprised. :sad:

Not everybody reads every thread so I though it would be wise to cover my bases and make sure the message is open to as many people as possible.

I'm sure there are much worse things in this world than seeing a message more often than you would like but I take your point and will be more considerate in future.

How about giving these guys on this forum a brake. If you want to debate something fair enough but this puerile crap is just spoiling it for them.

No one thinks you are clever or witty, just sad. :cry:

As I have said before, lets meet up somewhere and have a chat about the rights and wrongs of what is going on.

A public place of your choosing of course. :?:

This is a valid point.

Can we all please keep our personal grievances to just the threads where they are appropriate?

Nit picking against one another on every single thread is very tiresome and looks bad on those doing it.8-[

Don't mean to cheese anyone off, I have had quite a few positive replys and while 99.9% of fares could be the same as eachother, a fair few cabbies ive met have a good story too.

Bit confused as to why anyone would be cheesed off by you receiving positive replies. :-k

sorry, meant to say that some people have been getting cheesed off, which surprised me as I have had a lot of posative comments too. I didn't intend to get anyones back up.

Thats better
