On the weekend it can best be described as Fred Karno's Circus generally a bunch of needy and greedy Not helped by the deregulation of Plates.

I have a 8 Seater WAV And generally the most are Saloon Cars on the Rank. OK I accept some people don't like getting in Mini Buses

My best jobs are later on groups to the district Villages

My Cage does get very rattled by the following Driver's at the Back of Rank smoking eyeballing Punter's who they pick up
Leaving spaces between cars on the rank picking up at the back
And finally cars behind me sending job forward if its not going far :x :x :x


eh? surely the first car on the rank gets the first job, the bloke behind you should send the job forward because you are first on the rank, regardless of the distance?? or am i missing something here? ( i usually do :lol: :lol: )



That isn't legal under consumer law the customer has the right to choose which taxi they get in !!
