In this area there are 3 taxi companies, united taxis, redline cabs and club taxis. Redline (who I had my hack on with) have a good few Pakistani drivers, there accent is hard to understand and they don't have a clue to as where they are going redline are losing business as customers are getting fed up, so the boss has took all their radios and computers off them and they are having none of it, so they are starting their own company called.......... Pakistan taxis, it will be starting in 3 month and is based in the same area redline work in, to give them a bit of (cough cough) competition. Will be laughing when they find out their business will be Nilch |

Yes but most of them are like James may, they don't have a clue to as where they are going, and by that time their meter has ranked up a nice amount to leave a big hole in the passengers pockets |

They are trying to charge £10-£15 for a £7 job by going the longest way round. When they get lost they don't listen to the customer they phone their Pakistani mates asking them where to go. |

Hold the phone, a few month a go I was in Blackpool in the duple social club down south shore and this English guy started talking to me and I honestly didn't have a clue of what he was saying, when I got back to the hotel and talked to the night porter who was from Clydebank he also agreed that the English complain about our accent! Need to have a look at some of there selfs |

Quote: so they are starting their own company called.......... Pakistan taxis Hang on a minute! They cannot do that...........it might offend us the minority - it seems like that down here . I mean to say............are we allowed to call ourselves Welsh/English/Scottish/Irish taxis?Quite frankly I would be all for them calling themselves that............one look in the yellow pages and it would be............I am not f^%k!*g calling them. Seriously though - would that be classified as offensive/racist. If you are not allowed to fly the flag of the country on your car i.e England matches without some sort of hoo haa..........then that cannot be right. |

That should Draw in the punters from the EDL to use their Taxis...just they might need to check out the vehicle rear seats afterwards for any bodily deposits.

I am surprised that its taken them this long to form their own company, but you know what will be next don't you? yup you guessed it, its going to be the race to the bottom. after that you wont have any customers left, because they wont want to pay your rates, it'll be a case of "call the p@@@s" mate. |
