Of course it does otherwise I wouldn't bother. We use fuel cards and I get an emailed price every friday afternoon with the price for the following week. Sometimes the price is good so I accept it but if it is close to the pump price I will ring up and ask if there is any movement available. I can usually get around 1p per ltr knocked off and with the amount of fuel we buy each week it is well worth the phone call.

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:


Exactly the correct approach =D> =D> Ven old chap ..............................mind of a Taxi Driver .......................jasus have you read the drivel on here from the likes of wanna and that clown Skippy gormless or what :D

Mind in my day if they got me wound up i would stop the motor and through the c#nts out. fook the fair plenty more punters in the smoke :badgrin: :badgrin:

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.
