Pfft, it’s a 15 minute journey! A fiver sounds good, I shall use you next time, or are you one of the more irritating “I don’t go south of the river” type Cabbies. Scum I tell you!
i go where people ask me to go………i don’t refuse work matey boy!! 🙂
I can’t be arsed to argue about taxi fares……………..seemingly i study for 3 years to get my licence but people begrudge me earning a living; try paying my expenses on the price you suggest i do that job for ? You drive around London at 3am and pick up the shit i have to, put up with the aggro i have to and then tell me you would happily do a Streatham to Putney for a fiver!!
I’m not going to continue to justify my fares or costs. Many on here have studied at uni, yourself included in order to better yourself and put yourself into a wage bracket far in excess of many others. Why should i be any different because i chose to be a cabbie as opposed to a teacher or IT consultant ? I don’t berate any others for the money they earn or the prices they charge! In fact the opposite, if anyone on here is doing well i applaud them!
It’s simple wolf, you don’t like the price, don’t use us! Our meter is regulated by the authorities so at least you know it isn’t altered or made up by the driver. We have all done the knowledge and our vehicles pass stringent testing every year. You’re guaranteed to be insured should the worse happen and you’re involved in an accident. You can always call Addison Lee or any other private hire company but may find that many have a minimum of £15-£20.
I’ve told you before, if you’re ever in London let me know and i’ll happily meet you for a beer or give you a life somewhere for free but i’m afraid i take it very personally when my industry is attacked with unfair accusations.
One last thing, Streatham to Putney in 15 minutes ? Guess whoever normally takes you goes a bit faster than the permitted speed limit 😉
depends what part of Streatham, what part of Putney, time of day/night and route taken.
Sorry i threw the toys out the pram there wolf but i hear that shit all the time from ill informed people who think we earn a fucking fortune and are doing £20 jobs every few minutes! The truth is far from that and in the current climate we are the first ones along with restaurants etc to feel the pinch. There has been many times recently where i’ve earn’t a fiver in a hour! Sometimes a job like you mentioned can be the saving grace of the evening.
Next time i’m down that way i’ll time it from Streatham to Putney 😉
aye matt, played it on a mates 360, great fun, but I don’t have my computer with me in shrewsbury so I can’t play until i get that sorted!
This is currently £12.49 on steam… think I may get it… Doc – fancy a game of something new?

Anyone else up for a game? Think I am free on friday.
Not sure if I’m free on Friday, but I still have a game of this from time to time, and my brother’s still playing it a lot too. Maybe we could arrange a versus game with the rats over the weekend?
Turks if I thought there would be some peeps ready to play this semi – regular i would deffo get it. But i have popped into TS on and off for 2 weeks now without seeing anyone on.
Will just stick to playing empire total war by meself 🙁

Pity you weren’t about around Spring/early summer, as this was awesome back then, playing almost every night with the rats. I’m certain we could still arrange a game or two with them on one of their servers some night (mixed teams rather than a match), as it’s still a great game for a muck about on from time to time, but I think as a regular game, that boat’s already sailed a while back. TF2 on the other hand, still has a fair bit of life left in it, but I’d only get it if you can pick it up cheap. Oh and Insurgency’s not too bad, and it’s free, so long as you’ve got a source game.
Had a go on this last night… seemed fun. Would deffo be up for some games sometime… just dont know when
am now busy tonight! (But free sat morning!)
