supply and demand is stinking Tory philosophy is it not Tory burke ?

Meself never happy to see SCABS cashing in on strikes much rather see the Tory voting scum suffer . strangely the BBC have been broadcasting people supporting the strikers even though they have been inconvenienced a first i believe =D>

What does the cab trade do to their rates at night, on Sunday/Bank Holidays, at Xmas or New Year?

Is that not a kind of surge pricing?

Or the cherry pickers quoting crazy out of town rates when busy?

Is that not a kind of surge pricing?

A union man moaning about working driver earning more. #-o

Maybe if those ghasty train drivers didn't want to earn more then this wouldn't be an issue.

But surge rates are for others not members of the trade. #-o

Maybe you should read my comment again sussex i am clearly defending the rate for the job philosophy of Uber. used to work New Years eve in fleet Street for double bubble and a day off in lieu ie about £180 lumps for the night, and sometimes i actually had to be there and do 4 hrs collar in between propping up the bar in the press club open 10pm to 3 am he he :D

the tube strike is mainly about the rosters Boris has already prepared his climb down :D remember the tube Drivers only average £50000 a year, and as we all know striking and protecting your job doen;t pay off does it i mean look at cab drivers never strike always grovel and earn LESS than any other workers in any other industry qaulity kkunts :badgrin: :badgrin:

There's private hire companies all over the country especially up north where, they charge more if it's been snowing.
