If you want a cab
Don't assume that you are doing the taxi company a favour by calling us. We are here to provide a service, but we are not here to be dicked about by idiots that think that they can keep the driver waiting around while they decide which shoes to wear. That puts you on the 'let the buggers wait' list.

We don't do much naughty stuff. Apart from 'forget' short £2:20 jobs when there are no cars in the area. They get blamed on the anonymous driver who should have done the job.
Oh, and the fact that quite a lot of the time we seem to have no 6-7-8 seater cabs out, meaning 2 drivers get the fare instead of one. (funny that !)

Don't try and claim that the cab hasn't turned up as most firms now have this super dogs bollocks gps enabled computer system that lets us know where the cabs are sat. That gets you put on the special list where you get the drivers that shouldn't be allowed out of a secure environment.

Treat the drivers like people as most of them are and you'll be treated like royalty.

Treat them like arses and you will quickly get to appreciate just how long it takes walking from one side of the city to the other.

And another thing. Phoning from a noisy club or pub will get you put on hold till you realise that we don't want to go deaf anytime soon.
If you are persistent you will get the 'Hello ?, Hello ?' treatment even after you go somewhere quiet.
