where I am on Romney Marsh most trips round here are minimum 3 miles out and back, so a fiver min is what we charge, otherwise it's not worth putting my shoes on to go out for.

You gotta love some folks...

I did point out that the "40 mile" trip is 80 miles by the time I get back....pillocks

£110 for a 40 mile trip?!?! Are you a helicopter pilot?

You're asking for two tanks for diesel to use less than a gallon. I'm sure it's the "going" rate, but this really is the epitome of what Daily Wail extremists would call "Broken Britain".

6 of us did 70 miles in the dead of night in a taxi in China not so long ago, cost us £12. I understand why the price is so different, but that doesn't make me want to be a cabbie any less. Christ, I could drive my usual daily commute to work and make a weeks salary out of it.
