I understand and thats up to you,as far as i know nobody has ever been prosecuted for giving a quoted fare out of the borough i dont think they could.

no but they may be liable for a slapped wrist by not starting the meter on a fare, maybe your next punter will be one of your LOs....

Sasha i know this is difficult for you, so ill try to explain it as simply as possible.If i get asked to go out of the borough and i dont want to i dont go,if i stay in the borough i use the meter.Are you following me so far ? Plus your favourite point if i get asked to go out of the borough and i want to charge a quoted rate i do.Now get back to your shandy and enjoy your christmas ! :wink:

Yes it is my patch and believe me if you think im the only hack that doesnt use their meter when going out of their area/boundary you really havent a clue .Last time for your benefit you do not have to use your meter if your fare ends outside the borough if you have negotiated the price first.You go to a cab on a rank in blackpool and ask to go to man airport pretty sure 80/90% would give you a fixed price NO METER.

8 – IF A JOURNEY FINISHES OUTSIDE BIRMINGHAM BOUNDRY, WHAT DO YOU CHARGE?
your answers:
"2. Dunno
3. A tester or mechanic (in some areas, in some not) and (i bet) a policeman
4. yes
5. No and inform your LO
6. Yes, if the passenger has a dog (not a seeing eye dog)
7.
8. Any agreed fare"
Are you losing your marbles, or do you remember your own posts ? Only left the answer to question 8 as to spare you any more embarassement .
