To pay the taxi driver half the fare?

[Dordeydoo]

Booked a taxi at 7:30pm on friday night for 8:10pm. The taxi hadn't turned up by 8:20pm so rang and was told it was at the end of my road. Still hadnt arrived at 8:30pm so rang again to be told the same, which clearly wasn't the case as my road is a culdesac with 28houses so not long! Taxi finally turned up at 8:45pm then the driver drove like a prick the whole way to destination. When I got out I only paid half the fare was I being unreasonable to do so?

Thanks all

Maybe you should just listen to Olivia

I'm looking forward to tomorrow's update....

" I'm still not blacklisted. The taxi drivers are all fully behind me on this one and have organised a 'drive slow protest' during tomorrow's rush hour. The Pope rang me late last night (I made him apologise and complained to God about it) and also offered me his full support."

"I'm sooo not BU you know so there".

Don't think so Worra. Not blacklisted as used them tonight thanks and will be using tomorrow as well

Damn!! Why do I always X post with Olivia?

Perhaps that was diving intervention....

divine!! not diving ffs

Oh well that's good for you OP

Not sure how long they'll stay in business if everyone else decides to just pay what they fancy but there you go.

Actually it was 2 words.

I am not being nasty, i have not called the OP names or sworn at her, I have just asked some questions along the way, which I never got an answer to, but hey ho.

Maybe you are right about one thing, I think I'll join you and leave this thread as well.

all sounds a bit like bullshit weird tbh.

Worra I have to give you a that made me giggle (the x post with olivia that is) right now I am gone.

Not driving intervention Worra?! :o

I'm with OP on this one. The annoyed driver will hopefully give the crap firm an earful. That's how markets work. So let them sue you for the measly £2 you docked them for their crap service. That's fair.

Kotinka I meant the other word that you said in your other post, the one that was deleted.

Hth

I know what you mean, and tbh I wish I had left it a while back, so thanks kotinka for giving me the boot up the bum

diving intervention

Olivia

Now stop enticing me back

That woman's got 2 strips of streaky bacon stuck to her knees?!

Thanks Worra

Tired

I was about to say 'wish I had legs like that' until I saw the bacon. Thanks Worra

The manager is meeting with the driver this week to discuss his driving and lateness on Friday night.

Yes, and I can imagine how that conversation is going to go

Manager: That daft woman who quibbled over a £4 fare on Friday night is whinging about your driving. It's Ok though, we're going to send her the really crap cars in future and over charge her by a couple of quid each time.
Driver: Good on you, old chap.
Manager: Oh, and try to tone the driving down, OK?
Driver: Absolutely, Sir.

OP I now don't believe a word you're saying.
