today i got a call at 10.30 for a fare at a local doctors surgery I told them there would be about a 15 minute wait because we were very busy around that time the car got there about 10.50 couldn't find the passenger the staff at the surgery couldn't find him anywhere so i told the driver to take another fare that was also waiting at the same place. just in case he had nipped off somewhere and come back I got another driver to call in on their way back into town and have a quick look they couldn't find him either!

At 13.45 I got a call from someone asking why this gentleman was still waiting for his taxi the surgery car park was mentioned so I sent another car up and he fouund the passenger quite a way from the entrance of the surgery. I then got a call from the passengers wife asking if we had picked him up at all as he was very late I was able to tell her that a taxi was bringing him home now !!

So thats 3 hours before the wheres my taxi call :oops: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

The staff at the Surgery could have got him to sit and wait inside instead of letting him wander off !!
