Rather than bleating about it, next time complain to the company concerned, note his badge and plate number and their response and write to the licencing officer at the council.
But first, ask yourself this... How many times a day can you tolerate being asked the following questions:
1. Been busy?
2. How much do you earn?
3. Where are you from?
4. Are you some kind of ...t?
5. In response to which way would you like to go... Fastest and cheapest.(these are usually mutually exclusive)
6. That's a king rip off I'm not paying that... Used to get that alot just from putting the meter on, closely followed by 4.
7. What you going this way for? uh because it's the shortest, and therefore cheapest route...
8. if I wanted your help, I'd have king well asked for it
I would consider myself to be a reasonably tolerant person, but even I struggled to bite my tongue at times
This brings back memories, I was a cabbie for 10 years, I really didnt want to go to work some nights but always went, you shouldnt have to go to work wondering if this is the night you get stabbed for your takings or just assaulted for no reason other than some t**t takes a dislike to you, I dont miss it.
