It would appear because you want to pi** off as many punters as you can.

Do PH increase their rates at that time?

I think it's quite the reverse.

If it wasn't for the inefficient workings of the taxi trade there would be no PH.

We're on standard rate till 11pm, then it's +50% till 6am , when we go to +25% till 11pm again. The same rates/times apply on Boxing Day.

Then it's standard fare till 11pm on the 31st when the above is repeated.

PH exact same.

does to me as well, but I'm wrong on the start time d'oh. :oops:

we start T3 at 9pm not 11pm. After 15 yrs in the trade in this area you'd think I'd know. :sad:

The Shore to the Bush estate. Quoted £25 to £30.

It clocked £36.

I gave it for the top price £30 I quoted.

It's really silly boys.

This was just a wee lassie and her boyfriend going home to mum for Christmas.

Common sense has to prevail, surely?

agree fully. you probably kept a customer away from PH at little cost (in real terms to you) by doing so.
