The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.

Private Hire firms can set the rate as they like......only hackney's (black cabs) are set by the local council....

In Swindon most firms were on 1.5x fare since midday today......double bubble after midnight....staying at double until boxing day....then back to 1.5x ..... then Monday its normal fare + £1.

Tho i had difficulty working out what 1.5x was today....me sums aint that gud.....so round it up to the nearest squid and add 50 %  ::) ::) ;D

Tho tbh if you dont want to be robbed.....ask the booking office for a quote  ;)
