£1 on a pertol old, yes old!!! SRI to do 10 miles!!!

I smell BS mate total bs. My o0ld 1,6 Escort was about that, and that was years ago, you will struggle to get 8 miles in that!!

Even it it did just cost £1 to do 10 miles you have to multiply that by 2 because a taxi has to come back to it's home town after dropping you off, so you can make that £2 for 10 miles in your little world.

Now take the rest I have posted earlier into consideration and you will realise the guys have a hard time.

And if you must also consider that they do not get work 24/7, they can be sat around for 2-3 hours per night (between 8.30 and 11 and then 12-2.30 or so, so you have to consider the company is still paying the drivers for these dead times.

I hope the next taxi driver you get knows you from this thread and charges you £20 for a small journey. :Clap:

i will defo punch his lights out if he even tried, ahahahhaha, and 8 miles to the gallon, **** sake man, you need to buy a decent car mate, unless of course your driving a rolls royce phantom or summit, get a grip mate, learn what your spouting shite about before you mouth off, and do i care about how much the taxi driver works, do i really ??? do i ****, **** them, put it this way, when was last time you seen a poor taxi driver, tell me that, ahhahahhaha
 
If taxis are so expensive, why don't you drive your £1 to 10 miles SRI or catch the bus? It's that simple.

why, fuckin bus fares are up to £3.20 for a day ticket, **** that shite

now now miss's, you losing your cool there and asking for other peoples help, **** sake man.

about the petrol, ok, give or take 50p, still can do about 10 miles for about £1quid, as i say, maybe your car is in need of a tune up or summit, iam fortunate enough that my cars are brand new most of the time, so i dont have to bother with such things, so wheres your point going now apart from being very very rude directly at me and not just keeping this in general ???
 
You have a brand new SRI 1.8 that does 10 miles for £1.

Now you say oh well give or take 50p. Lol, I do like you, I think your funny.

50p give or take is what this whole debate could hang on!!!

Now do you want a MASSdebate or a small debate?

3.20 is a day ticket in glasgow, woops, and stop going on about going off your head etc, who gives a **** really, **** sake man, i couldnt give a wet fart whether you rant and rave for 7 days man, lol, just dont suggest to others to try and put things in thier head to get members banned man, are you stupid ?
 
Drive your bloody car if nothing else is good enough for you. Grow the **** up.

how would you even know what age i am ya maddy, lol ??? ffs

10 miles = 15quid, ermmmmm, i still dont think so, fuckkkkk that shite
 
Lol.

Once again this is making me wonder your age.

I don't think your old enough to be on this site, you are clueless as to the day to day workings of normal life, never mind business overheads or anything!!

I doubt he's over the age where he can even peer over the steering wheel!
 
Lol.

I don't think your old enough to be on this site, you are clueless as to the day to day workings of normal life, never mind business overheads or anything!!

there you go again saying to people that certain people I.E - myself arent old enough to be on this site, why are you deflecting off the subject here mate ?
and why o why do you keep editing your posts, ilmfao, your saying things then correcting yourself, thats what your doing, people aint daft you know. lol.

and the give or take 50p was in refrence to you saying about the 8 miles for £1quid, so ok give or take 50p i say, i could still get about 10miles from my car for about £1quid, and so where does this £1quid or 80p or 1.50 (depending on which car or engine), where does this justify a 14quid profit ??? where , tell me, break down the taxi insurance etc, i bet it still doesnt come anywhere near 15quid for a 10mile journey ?
 
Ok I have not read your full post, I edit my post to alter any spelling mistakes I see.

And for the record mate, you can't alter a post after 30 minutes so what is said is said.

I alter my posts within 30 seconds of sending them, I do not use a spell checker as I just type away, but I do like to keep my spelling within reason hence my odd quick edit within a few mintutes.

Is that ok with you?

Now I will look back at the rest of your post.

;)
 
OMG!!!

I just read the rest of your post.

Have you ever had a job?

You still live with your parents don't you?

Slasher mate, are you going to jail?

Ah no now I get it!!!

Do you claim disability allowance?

It is now all coming together.

I am not going to go there but I read your other posts and now it all comes together.

Your a piece of scum that leeches from us genuine tax paying peeps.

We pay for your car, you get your car for free on disability or whatever it is, and I believe you do not deserve it. I can't judge you in person because I have never seen you in person, but what I can do is judge you from your posts and I for one think your scum. If you are genuinely disabled then I take back what I have said. Also if your going to jail then I hope they stop your disability as that should not be allowed!!!!

This is the rant room.

Hehe.

Fancy a pint when you get out?

ermmm, now whos looking very dodgy here, hahahha, look at the rules of the forum my man, you cant directly keep going at another member verbally like you are with me, but seens you want to carry on down that road then i guess it was worth mentioning.

you refer to my other "threads", i dont know why you do that, whats that got to do with anything in this thread ?

ypu ask have i had a job, maybe, maybe not, thats none of your buisness, i could be employed by the military or the home office or summit, you would and will not ever know.

parents, again, these are very personal questions, did i ask about your parents, i didnt and wouldnt.

Am i going to jail, nope, if you read the "thread" correctly you would see that iam asking about someone else, but again, even if i was, whats that got to do with anything ?

Do i claim disability allowance, nope, i was asking a general question for someone that is actually in jail just now, and again, whats that got to do with you or anything anyways ?

and finally, iam a piece of scum for all the above reasons am i ?? and this thread was about what ??

Ok mate, I was talking sensible back then, but you took it upon yourself to say I talk shite, now I will talk shite and I will continue to talk shite because your fucking rant is shite!!!

I was talking the truth back then, but since then your rant has become a rant against anyone who tries to defend a taxi driver, and that includes every other person on this thread.

So yes I am now making it personal, because I think your a prick and I wil stand by my guns.

If I get a suspension then so be it, I believe your a prick and your will always be a prick in my eyes.

A rant is a rant, where you can let off steam, not to attack everyone who feels or believes that your rant is wrong, which in this case is truly is, which by now you should have let off steam and realised that that is the norm in this day and age for taxi fares. But no, you kept on going and going, with total childish responses, hence my actions in earlier posts.

So I can be childish, in fact I love to be childish.

Fucking nob!!!
 
Lol Col.... Lovin' your style dude...! ;) ;)
 
dazza, thanks for your first post there a few mins ago, but your also missing the point, iam not here to discuss just how much it costs to live life as mr taxi driver, iam here saying i think its an utter joke that a guy makes about 14quid profit on a 10 miles journey, its rediculous, i couldnt give a toss on how much it costs for the drivers radio etc etc, i got the same taxi firm, same journey and all about 1 year ago and the prices were averaging between about 8 to 11quid, 12 at the very most, now iam a driver myself and i know that petrol has went up, but not that much that the bill went up suddenly by between about 7 to 4quid, no chance, no way, i even called the office and the fat controller says yes the prices have just went up over the past few days, i says "up", ffs, lol, i says well explain the difference in fares then from the previous prices and why, hehhehehe, she simple couldnt, her response was to say "get a job as a taxi driver then and start raking in the cash".
Needless to say, i will use other taxi firms instead.

actually, i find it nearly as cheap nowdays to just get a hackney, so i may even start doing that, safer cars too.
