why would somebody phone for a PH to pick them up from outside the station when theres a dozen HC's sat on the rank right outside the front door?

I expect it's the wife of the PH driver trying to wind the station lads up. :D

Well I dont know about Barnsley or Sussex, but where I am the locals will have numbers of thier favourite carrier in the phone.

now these can be taxis or the touts, if you get a taxi from the main station odds on he will not know his way, a bit off putting.

if its night the drivers, the best ones will be polishing thier cars on the drive or building an extension.

or even moonlighting on the main rank.

Why do females get out of the Cab on the wrong side throwing the door wide open. :lol:

Why do females come of the pavement and walk round the Cab into the road to get in. :lol:

Why do we smile when the fit bird tells the bloke, who thinks he is onto a good nights rumpy pumpy, that he can't come in for a coffee? :D

Especially when he lives at the opposite side of town, and needs to then get home. :D
