Don't get a Taxi from Edinburgh to Aberdeen then guys. Remember Edinburgh Taxi drivers are the best in Britain and we don't get paid accordingly!! Aberdeen from Edinburgh will cost you £290. A bargain if I've ever seen one!!


Should have gone to specsavers...

Small wonder I get so many airport runs :wink:

That's an Expensive journey, I'd be looking for around £200 for a similar journey of that distance. :?


The metered fare in an Aberdeen taxi would be around £255 but I'd be happy with £230 ish for it.
Must be good in Auld Reekie if they can turn down £230 for five hours.


Sorry Guzzie, I made an error earlier with my price of £290 from Edinburgh to Aberdeen. It's actually £312, so there is no chance I would do it for £230. I would maybe knock the £12 off but that's it.

Mr Miyaggi! Where are you? When did you start working for ECPH? You kept that up your sleeve!!!

Next time you go into Harvey Nichols to buy a pair of jeans and they cost £325, tell the sales assistant you'll pay £230. Next time you fuel your taxi up and it costs £45, tell the sales assistant you'll pay £25. Next time you buy a 50inch TV that costs £2000 tell the sales assistant you'll pay £1600. Next time a guy jumps in your Taxi and asks to go Aberdeen tell him it's £325, when he offers you £230, tell him the same as all the other sales assistants mentioned above would tell you!! "Fek off"

Aye nothing like pricing yourself out of the game altogether, honestly, you lot, are dreamers. Never mind now that you are working for ECPH, that will all change. #-o
