Bl%dy December!!!

That time of year when they forgot they had ordered a taxi; 'Oh, she left half an hour ago!!!!!'

Once a year drinkers who don't know how to handle it.

Roll on 1st January!!!!

Bah humbug! :evil:

I had one wanted to move a sofa. My fault apparantly because she asked for a 'big' car to be sent, but didn't explain why. Would've barely fitted in a Transit #-o Then wanted to know what I was going to do about it (because, according to her, it was now my problem) and suggested I put it on the roof !

I used to regularly get calls from Currys because they wanted to save the delivery charge but the tallest fridge freezer in the shop plus packaging doesn't fit ANY taxi. from that point of view getting rid of my WAV was the best thing I ever did

RAIL REPLACEMENT BUSES

due those greedy RMT rail workers wanting and excuse to go xmas shopping yes it's funny how strikes dates are conveniently chosen in December :roll: I had to travel on one such vehicle on my way back from an AGM driver decide not to turn up till 20 minutes past departure time and then only after 3 calls from the organisers.

His choice of routes was questionable including a very low rail bridge followed by a sharp left which caused chaos I think there was less than an inch clearance :roll: followed by some hair raising runs along narrow lanes around melton so we ended up 40 minutes late by the time we got to Stamford and my drivers were waiting for me to come and take over the phones they were not happy bunnies !!!

It would have been quicker to get one of my drivers to fetch me but didn't want to leave us short of cars. Still don't know why he didn't just carry on up a607 instead of negotiating lots of side roads to come out onto the dual carriqageway and then pick up A607 again outside of leicester

1, Punters who can't manage to wind an electric window up as they keep pushing the button down instead of pulling it towards them, they then say "the window is broken", I tell them to pull the button up/towards them and they keep on pushing it down.

2, More punters who try and close their door with the lever that opens the door instead of pulling on the arm, they then say "the door won't close" as it keeps on bouncing open.

Fúckwits the lot of them.

^^Kids who won't stop messing with the electric windows. Luckily I have a button that turns them off, I then tell them they've broken it !

Punters who begrudge you being warm. Open taxi door, realise it's nice and toasty so stand there with the door wide open for a few minutes letting all the warmth out. Then get in and say 'turn the heater up it's blooming freezing' ! :roll: :x
