I bet that manager isn't the most popular of people. :roll: :roll: :roll:

Be interesting to see if they have an effect on Delta.

Oh, I've heard they have lost work but nowhere near as much as Delta and don't forget Delta took loads of work from Liverpool hackneys so it's hard to judge IMO. I also know a couple of Uber drivers in Liverpool and they're doing very nicely although their % to Uber is less than that paid by new drivers.

Have you seen many ubers on wirral? I know they got the licence to mainly target Liverpool but i thought id see a lot more than i have. Can probably count on one hand how many i have seen in the last 6/8 months around here.

The purpose of the Wirral licence is to feed Liverpool not Wirral. They will eventually start advertising on Wirral and I guess you will see more then
