Hang on chav! Are you mixing Hyndburn taxi's up with Blackburns? It's a well known fact that Hyndburn has the strictest guidelines for taxi's.

Have you looked at most of the cars? There's a Jag, there was a Lexus, Mercs, volvo's and all the motors have to be under 8 year old.

I really do think it's unfair criticism, these cars are the lively hoods of these fellas, it's in their best interest to keep a good working motor and most do, those who slip through the net soon get reeled in by Mr Inspector.

As for children stood up in taxi's, that's the parents job to make sure they know how to behave whilt travelling in one if it's a personal booking by a parent and the job of the escort if it's a Lancashire County Council booking. You'd be first to be screaming blue murder if your child got a bollocking off a taxi driver!
