when you get a £5 round the corner special and they say "would you mind taking my pal to X????" and the fare then ends up £15
and they keep saying sorry for putting you out and give you a nice tip for your trouble now that just gets me mad :shock: :shock: :shock:

maybe so, but better to get a no fare than to get kicked outta the office for leaving a regular customer stranded or getting done for touting.

Customers who won't tell you their address and insist on directing you because they don't believe that you could possibly find thier house :sad:

Customers who look out of their window see you there and then phone up to cancel :x

Customers wjo when you get them to their address give you what xyz taxis apparently charge them not whats on the meter :-({|=

Police officers that ignore private cars on the taxi rank :x

Bladdered heads waffling on telling you their life stories, and still waffling when you are at their house waiting for them to get out of the car !
