Use UBER you mentaller???. I was in London 18 months ago and my brother advised on using them as they were way cheaper than the normal ones. 

Surely it's the same in the rest of the UK

"Evening pal, busy tonight? I'm going to Newcastle please."

"Evening, ah kept ticking over. Newcastle county Dublin yea?"

"No, Newcastle UK."

"Okay, that will be €40"

"What? How can it be €40?"

"Well it's in a different country and I've to use a speedboat for some of the journey"

"Fook that, I'm ringing Uber."

I seen on the news last weekend a taxi driver complaining because they are not receiving any help or support from the government at the moment. They are able to apply for the 80% self employed furlough scheme based on their declared earnings over the last two years, maybe they should have declared some of that cash!

I had to get a Taxi to and from an Injury clinic yesterday as I done my leg in work. Neither of the miserable bastards even offered to open or close the door for me could easily see me limping (I know Covid but could have thrown a mask on). I think at time they get an awful rap there are some decent ones but then some truly miserable ones who think the world owes them something. 
I'm the gaffer whatever I say goes.

The good genuine tax paying taxi drivers will be doing fine. I have seen a few taxis operating as couriers and doing deliveries too.
