I know lots of licensed drivers in Manchester who when asked for directions from out of town drivers will send them on a wild goose chase that ends up miles from where they want to be. Are you this type of driver or do you have a lot of sympathy for drivers who are lost?

Regards

JD

I'm always happy to help out any fellow cabbie, hack or ph and I have always found local drivers to be helpful when I am out of town.

Personally, I believe we all should help each other. We all work in the same licensed trade, can't see any reason not to.

Is there a suggestion that London Cabbies are reluctant to help London private hire drivers find their way around the capitol? lol

I hate to say it, but if the rest of the London Taxi trade is like the three muppets who post on here, I would say so.

It's never crossed my mind, I would rather do some one a good turn than a bad one.

Oh dear, we seem to be getting to you MrBB. :-({|=

It's not our fault that out of 40'000 Minicab drivers, your bigoted Branch Secretary can only recruit 12.

Perhaps if he removed his head from McKensies arse he may see the reality of the world around him?

Cut your strings and seek the truth. :lol:

Minicab drivers in London would have to have the ability to speak English before that happened.

If a member of the public ask's for direction's and say's please, then I will give directions.
If a minicab driver is looking for a street, then I won't give him directions, he should have an A-Z!!!.
