its not a requirement here, so none have em, plus.....hacks have a £35 "meter check" fee, would a PH with one have to pay?

I asked our LO who said "ooooeeerrrrr, never been asked that

PLUS, we have a "local" job fee of £4 and the opposition dont, sticking to the meter, yesterday i drove past the rank (loaded) and they had upto 15 hacks waiting.......... go figure

The longest mileage for the £4 set fare is 3 miles, the bulk are 1.5miles. a meter would be just an ornament
