Re:taxis.

I had to get one this week, from the taxi rank in Church St.

Why aren't they forced to have meters? Every other place in the country where I've caught a taxi from a rank, meters are mandatory.

Another thing that pee's me off is when at your destination you ask 'how much is that please?' and they reply 'how much do you normally pay?'

When I always answer a pound, the negotiation starts in earnest.

HBC please make taxis at a rank have meters please.
