People who think it’s ok to flag you down to ask for directions.

Lost? You will be!

as frustrating as it can be at least they are acknowledging that you have good local knowledge personally I'm usually happy to help

good deed for the day and all that but then maybe I'm not as selfish as some on here

Councillors who want everyone to have Euro 6 diesel vehicles, which mean max age of 3 or 4 years old.

Without realising the decimation this will cause to the WAV fleet, or also proposing the same standard for the 100s of vehicles they own and run.

Dropping off at a pub in a rural area, one where you'll wait an hour for a cab.
Guy approaches and asks if he can get in, politely tries to expalin I have to be pre-booked etc. but he's having none of it. 'Fu**ing c*nt, open the door you f**ing wan*er ' and every other insult and expletive going.

Two minutes down the road I get a booking from the pub for Tony, goes back and guess who Tony is all apologetic and sorry ? Guess who didn't get a ride. Guess who didn't get any further taxis sent ?

I'm not convinced I would have gone back.

Lent a mate of mine seven and a half grand the other day to get some botox work done on his face.

Problem is now I don't know what he looks like to get my money back.
