Taxi Driver Online

Hi
I'm moving from London where I've been a PHV Driver for about 20 years
heading up to Glasgow to stay have applied for my PHV licence from Gkasgow Council and hopefully that should go through ..
I was wondering if anyone had knowledge of the Taxi trade in Glasgow how the Fare structure works etc.
Any info would be most welcome
Regards
Ian.H

Wee Glesca wumman goes intae a butchershop, where the butcher has just came

aimed at an electric fire.

The wee wumman checks oot the display case then asks, "Is that yer Ayrshire
bacon?"
"Naw," replies the butcher. "It's jist ma haun's Ah'm heatin'."
