finlo Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 (edited) If when you can find one prepared to deviate from the prom do they still radio in declaring they're taking their break then trouser the fare?

Edited 17 hours ago by finlo Like Quote You do realise that all drivers are self employed and do not work for the service provider? If anything the service provider works for the driver if the driver chooses to use one. The fares are all 'trousered' less the expenses of the days work.

Yes. Its true and adding to the confusion in the area. To be fair though they probably didn't choose to put up scaffolding for the fun of it. Can we assume that they most likely needed to put up scaffolding because of an issue? I got a taxi from there last night and I asked the Taxi driver what he thought. He said it was a bit of a pain but the reality was that everyone was managing fine and he didn't know what all the fuss was about. I said he should get on MFs!

So nobody worked for any of the taxi firms then? Back in my day 80s/early nineties a run to Ramsey nearly always involved a radio call declaring their break time then radio off for the journey and 40 quid for the privilege!

They don't work for the taxi firm - they rent a radio off them IIRC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

offshoremanxman Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 If the journey to work wasn’t depressing enough with all these roadworks you can now have a ride in on the menopause bus.
