OK, I posted on the Friday night thread about my weekend, so won't repeat it all here. Basically, after the gig, we were trying to get a taxi from near the MEN arena/Victoria station.
It took us AN HOUR of standing in minus temperatures. People could see me pushing H's wheelchair, could see we'd need a black cab with the ramp at the side, and either the drivers would ignore us and pick up someone who didn't need the ramp, or people would run in front of us and jump in the taxis :(
We booked a minicab, it never arrived, and eventually, a lovely taxi driver picked us up, and said he'd seen the drivers blanking us and seen other people jumping ahead of us (although to be fair there was no real queue). I just can't believe that people would be so ignorant and rude as to do that.
A few people asked if we needed a cab, then when one arrived, THEY'D jump in it! And when we did get picked up, our driver got a load of abuse for doing so! We didn't hear it though. Apparently some woman thought he shouldn't have picked us up, but he told us if he hadn't we may not have got a cab for hours, because the drivers would keep ignoring us :( Felt so bad he'd had to suffer that because of us :(
Only real low point of the weekend if I'm honest but oooh so irritating!
