Very few foreigners, the handful I have taken have been fine.

But as for the indigenious species the worst three have to be ;

Scots (when drunk) - Difficult to understand and have a hostile demeanour. But fine when sober and some of the best tippers.
Scousers - Never want to pay the full fare and start haggling from the moment they get in all the way to end of journey.
Mancs - Never want to pay the full fare but will wait to journeys end before haggling.
Thais (not the foreign ones, the ones that live here) - ALWAYS pay with a £20 note no matter how far the journey.
Welsh - Will always argue the fare is wrong and say they did the same journey last night and it only cost £x, a figure that you know would be impossible to achieve even at the shortest distance and lowest tariff. Yet even when shown the tariff sheet and a map will still be adamant they're right and you're wrong.

I wouldn't want to tar just five, IMO the worst punters in terms of rudeness and straight fares are those from Africa.

Then the Eastern Europeans for rudeness.

I must be lucky because generally the Arabs are good for me, but that's not a view shared by others down here.

Polish / Eastern Europeans, rude and arrogant.
Nigerians, as someone said above.
Scottish, always p!ssed and loud.
Scousers, like Scottish but loud.
Irish / Pikeys don't touch them.

Other than that people are good.

Polish and Baltic states are OK, Romanians are a nightmare (don't ever muddle them up :wink: ) None of them tip.

Africans always have a ridiculous amount of luggage, always dispute the fare and never tip.

Asians are rarely any bother but they rarely tip either.

Irish (North or South) never a problem. Good tippers

English and Welsh always try to haggle. They get out of the habit once they've been here a few times and discover it's a wasted effort.
A lot of them try to give you a postcode (do I look like Postman Pat?) Some good tippers, some miserable sods.

Yanks are loud but tip well.

Norwegians are loud and usually p!ssed but rarely ever any bother.
