There was a big Irish Travler's wedding at a local pub last night.
All 4 local cab firms were trying to pass their jobs onto eachother, we couldn't be blatent and say anything over the radio (what we send, everyone hears, but what the drivers send, only the office can hear). They were going quite far, about £50 jobs.

One of our drivers took a lot, but everyone else refused. I don't know what happened to him because I went home 15 minuites before he picked them up, but I hope he got a huge tip or something to make the others gutted.

We also had a few runners on some very big jobs (saaf lahndan), which is double-gutted on a friday night as they spend a few hours not working.

As an insider....
The prices arn't worked out exactly at our firm, granted, some drivers do try it on, and they're mugs because you ain't comin' back to our firm if they do that. If we catch them, they get royal bollocking. We all got little PDAs with TomTom software built in. The system is crap, made worst by an IT guy who has the nouse to block AVG with Norton. I always add on a couple of quid when quoting, sayin', for example, "£10-12".

I'm supprised some drivers don't get decked with the libertys they take though.

I blame the PCO office.
Yeah', sure this whole "The cost of an illigal minicab: rape" thing was effective, but they didn't tell a single person how to actually tell the differance.

In the past, we've had a few chancers pull up outside our office, yell out 'cab', and get a bunch of people. Put the shits right up him when he tried it the third time, got all the boys to charge out at him, he hit two cars as he span off at full pelt. Then called the rozzers, not sure if they ever found him though.

I don't fucking blame them.
I wouldn't go near the cunts either. Fucking knackers.

Yup, I can just imagine one of the drivers coming back with no hubcaps and a dag.

He was one of the first people I had on my facebook
think he's deleted me now. It was heartbreaking, but I think I'm over it.

He hasn't, I just looked at how I know him and you came up.
I know you phone him up in the middle of the night, twirling your phone cord with your finger sayin' "Hay there, yeah', it's me.... nothin' really, just wanted to see how you are.".
