Pick them up from a posh house on a regular basis with their £4 fare and during the journey him and his wife constantly moan about the tariff, taxi drivers etc....they use us once a week to same destination and back home from the poncy restaurant wine bar place but they really are a pain in the rear with their attitude!! :evil:

Don't take em, hardly worth the hassle and at £4 it just block ups your day when you might be losing out on something bigger and juicier.

Last month, I had a woman lie about the size of dog, a bulldog is not [edited by admin] small. Then she said, what a lovely clean car you've got, before the dog proceeded to rub against the seats getting fur everywhere. Then the dog farted. When I got to her house, there was a range rover outside. She commented that most drivers refused to pick her up. Then left the car without even a tip. I bloody wonder why :evil:

The answer is "I am sorry sir but it would seem that we are unable to meet your expectations. Perhaps you could try a different company in future."

They dont get wealthy by giving it away...

We have a knob who lives 15 minutes from the city centre but rings for a taxi and thinks FIVE minutes is all it takes, ony wants to pay £7 when due to roadworks it meters £12............5 cars refused him last saturday so he didnt get to his train...

nice 1, fook him, the metered fare is what you pay, not your fault there are roadworks, if he gave me £7 for a £12 fare i would call the police just to inconvenience the bellend tbh, if i got that fare i would turn up 5/10 mins late , then when he got in i would just say , "sorry mate not taking you , you wont pay the metered fare, bye" & fook off , why do taxi drivers let the public take the pi$$ & dictate the prices? its on the meter in front of the punter ffs!!!! honestly i will never understand the mind of the taxi driver :roll:

There's a couple in Southport who own a restaurant, they like to keep you waiting and never tip, I and I know of other drivers who have persuaded fares en-route to their restaurant to eat elsewhere.
