well GBC, i started my cabbing days in hampstead gradually moved out to the middlsex area where ive worked since 93, people in suburbs are much more down to earth......even the ones in the big houses.....i make loads on tips unlike when i was in town....i guess i like nice people....many of my customers are taxi drivers, they have great respect for me and even often tell me that mini cabs are the 'taxis' of the suburbs, at least on this side of london, unlike you who seemingly just wants to bash our licenced industry, not perfect but getting there slowly but surely
If '
bashing' is pointing out faults, then yes I will continue to do that, just as others bring faults about our industry onto the forum.
Hardly a week goes by without a story in the press about two Minicab drivers trying to kill each other at Heathrow, a Minicab driver in Croydon wan*king over his female passenger, a Minicab controller from the East End telling us his drivers are perverts, can't speak English, and don't know where they're going.
You're probably a top notch bloke working for a good company, but your also aware there are hundreds of other company's and drivers that are not.
Not everyones perfect or honest I hear you say, and I agree.
But why is it
always a story about Minicabs and not Licensed london Taxi's?
So you see, I'm not the one 'bashing' your industry Mr UTU I only pick out the story's and facts, your industry is 'bashing' itself on a weekly basis. (especially the bloke from Croydon
)

If theres no taxi rank nearby, then I have to agree with you.
I still can't see how comparing a rich area like Ruislip, compares with the majority of London, such as Hackney, Lambeth, Camden etc, where the majority of 'Londoners' live.
