Overheard three Neanderthals walking past the rank today.

"Like yeah, man, I. Never use these taxis, cos they like, charge by the mile"

Just couldn't think of a witty retort. Bust is there another way of calculating a taxi fare?

(Other than make it up PH stylie)!!!

Maybe you could charge by the kilometer, as that would be a lower rate. :wink:

A metre is longer than a yard, though!

One said to me over Christmas, "you lot charge treble fare don't you?" My reply was "no it's only a tariff." It turns out I was cheaper than their private hire company who said we were charging treble fare.
