Just had a call from a person staying at a local hotel in the middle of nowhere wanting a six seat taxi into town. I quoted her between £10 and £11. Her reply "Oh no thanks I will get an UBER." I was laughing before we even got the phone down. The nearest UBERs are at least 15 miles away. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
