Taxi Driver Online

The worst thing you can have is advertising on Hackney's as by natural justice the council would not be able to refuse advertising on private hire... and when that happens watch them grow..... just an afterthought..

They refused it here on PH. Something to do with pizza delivery

Sounds like a plan. Anyway if everything is on here I'd have no excuse to be a nusiance if we meet again

that's just it CC, they sit near taxi ranks, not in any particular location.
Picture the scene,

There's a rank outside a pub for four cars (ok 6 or more on fri/sat). It's at the end of a cul-de-sac (I kid you not), 50 yds or so down from it is a kwik-fit with a forecourt. The pub is kicking out, the taxis have gone (soon to be replaced, but who with a drink in them wants to wait 5-10 mins?) The punters start wandering down the street, and lo and behold there's 3 or more cars with plates on the back, meters and business cards in the dash, and drivers with white shirts with a company name on them. Do they ignore them and walk on? Or more likely walk over and say " For Hire, pal?" Does the PH driver say "I'm sorry I'm waiting on a booking, try the rank up the road" or "What's your name and I'll book one for you, the now, in ye get"

That was my story, last meeting. Not one proprietor denied the possibility of it happening. The LO just looked disinterested. So again, no chance of annoying them, that way.

I don't mean to be picky again, but, in all seriousness these punters are not going to see what's inside the car until they are inside it. Most punters don't even realise I'm female until they get into the vehicle. At least the taxis there actually have a rank to sit on outside the pub cos here they sit anywhere they please and ply their trade and guess what, the LO is just totally disinterested. It's par for the course and if we were all making a decent living I guess none of us would be bothered what the other was doing. It doesn't help that the customer doesn't care either way cos they just want to get home

and if those cars have big council door signs (regardless of wording) they are a punter-magnet

All true, toots. I was slightly overstating the scene, for effect, and of course the punters don't give a toss, they're on the way home or to the Tartell, so who, besides us, cares? Answer, no-one.



also true. they don't at present, but it's in the same review I mentioned earlier.

Looks like Harvey is upsetting a few folks.

Seems even more like touting now than it did before.
