Is there anything that annoys you soooo much about the job?

Bad drivers (Nissan Micras Grrrr)
People who insist on directing you despite you knowing the way (If I dont know I'll bloody ask)
Peter Kay jokes (like I haven't heard that before :roll: )
Can we stop at the chippy? (No F*** off I've got money to make)

Discuss

:D

Drivers that over-charge regular punters. :sad:

Cab drivers that look down their noses at PH drivers. :sad: :sad:

PH drivers that have sold their taxi plates still looking down their noses at PH drivers. :sad: :sad: :sad:

We, in London, are so far above them PH one would need a conk the size of Cyrano de Bergerac proportions for us to look down on London PH. :D :D :D :D

Cream rises to the top. The top is London cab drivers. You know this only too well Suspect.

How’s candy floss land these days? Still stuck there dreaming of your betters up town?

Drivers that don't move down the rank because they are yapping, causing over ranking at the back.

People that expect the world to revolve around their disability.

Punters that are unable to answer simple questions like " Is it on the left or the right?" (They sit behind me pointing saying this side )

Most of all punters that think they know the way better than me and say, you should have turned left there mate.

I rarely get that, but the ones that annoy are those that assume that you're totally clueless if you even you demonstrate even the slightest scintilla of doubt - ie if you ask on 50/50 route which way they prefer, then they assume that you've just landed from Mars.
