When you've got a boot full of shopping and they pick up the two lightest bags and as slowly as possible take them to their door.


I just unload it onto the pavement. I'm not a bloody porter.


Customer service Scottish-style

Allways take the fare before deciding wether to assist further !!

Like the shifty character I took to Folkestone the other evening; tried to do "£30" cash mate for a £33 fare, having boasted that he'd just done 8 years for doing the local Sainsburys and pocketed £230k for his 8 years holiday...I got my £3!!

You wind-up merchant!

After a 3 hour wait in the feeder park, whose joking!

You NEED it to go £80! :shock:

The feeder at Brum Airport [no longer called Brum International Airport - thank God!] has the same waiting times and our average fare is £30-35 with many below that and very few above that.

I like the airport punters who come to me 'with a piece of paper in their hand'.

They guys are probably nice to you because of the micro-mini skirt you wear to work.

We have quite a few Asian drivers, some black guys as well. I've never asked them about their religion though.

We also have a decent knowledge test for Taxi and PH drivers and we've had it for many years.
