If you say this kind of stuff often enough I'm sure some people will start to believe you. :D

Sussex is spot on, and that's why you couldn't answer his point [-(

Any real Taxi Driver knows exactly the point I'm making, But as you're not one, I'll never expect you to understand.

By "real taxi driver" I assume you mean someone gullible enough to believe the nonsense you spouted earlier?

In fact any taxi driver with a bit of nous will notice that you've completely failed to answer the point.

They'll certainly understand that :D

But that's not the point the old man was on about. He was implying that they only have ranks and customers in restricted areas. #-o

That's simple, because the job becomes worthless, and only idiots that are prepared to work for nothing, and do extremely long hours stay in the job.

I have a rule, never take advice from somebody who knows everything but has nothing.

I wouldn't dream of ever asking you for advice about anything.

I was just pointing out your stupidity.
