Spud brings up a good point there are some 'dodgey' characters claiming to be taxis especially this time of year there is usually an awarness about it specially for young women revellers [being raped/attacked etc]. ALways book a reputable taxi firm they should be wearing a taxi badge, licence plate with private hire/taxi thingy on, be wary as well as a lot of taxi firms are aware that radio jobs 'could' be hacked theres been a few jobs called out on radio with a specific taxi firm & another firm car turns up to nick the fair - so like owt be vigilant, but on the whole taxi's in the borough are generally ok with no probs but like anything if not right dont go with them call another. If you do get a suspicious one i suggest you get as much deatils & report them as tinks & slinks say as they know the business the inspectors are pretty stringent.
