taxis
 

I got a Taxi from Asda to Pickup street and was charged £5 :mad:
And then one of my bags with milk and lemonade in it has disappeared, i searched the house and then rang the taxi firm to check if it was in the boot still and guess what ??? 'No bag in car' !!!
So where do you think my bag is ??

re: taxis
 

On the floor outside Asda maybe.

Maybe there is there a surcharge for going to Clayton :rolleyes::D

re: taxis
 

Very funny!
I know it went in the boot but it definatly didnt make it into my house!!

re: taxis
 

I was being serious for a change, I bet a lot of bags get left outside Asda. Easy to forget when you are trying to shove the kids in the car at the same time.

re: taxis
 

£5 from ASDA to Clayton seems a bit steep to me

re: taxis
 

Me too, I would guess it should be more like £3.50 :rolleyes::D

re: taxis
 

What does it normally cost?

re: taxis
 

Normally costs about £3.50!!

re: taxis
 

I must be psychic :rolleyes:

re: taxis
 

Would have had to say something if it had been me:( Being busy does not justify putting prices up IMHO

re: taxis
 

I did tell him that the price was expensive and that im normally charged £3.50 and he said you must use another company because we charge everyone £5.

re: taxis
 

Robbing gets if thats the case:(

re: taxis
 

I can see the point that it was expensive,but I can't really see that you can blame the driver for your loss.:confused:

re: taxis
 

£6 is the maximum that any supermarket ever charges for delivery.
That highest rate applies when you pick the most popular delivery times.
I seldom pay anything for delivery because I have their charging system sussed.

re: taxis
 

Did someone mention a needle being stuck?:D:D

re: taxis
 

Point taken:) - just think that anyone physically attending a supermarket at this time of year must be a masochist:rolleyes:

re: taxis

re: taxis
 

He is correct, you are mental :rolleyes::D

Re: taxis
 

sorry but i have had to edit the name of this taxi firm out if they read this and could be problems and sue the site

Re: taxis
 

The answer there is mumtotwo, give that firm a wide berth in the future:rolleyes:

Re: taxis
 

I agree,I got my shopping a fortnight ago.:D

Shops are only shut for one day not two months.:confused::confused::D

Re: taxis
 

its hard to know which firm to use these days they either over charge or employ sex offenders round here wasnt there a story in teh paper and a huge thread on here that mentioned a sex offender been given his taxi licence back for an accy firm ?:rolleyes:

Re: taxis
 

I used a taxi today for a half mile trip to son's place - £4.50
I expected it to be price hiked on christmas day, so wasn't surprised.
I normally give a good tip, but I only rounded it up to a fiver, because it arrived one whole hour after I had asked for it.
Despite having pleurisy at the mo, I had started to dig my car out of the snowdrift, thinking that it would never come.
The other 10 for dinner were waiting patiently for my breathless arrival before starting.

On the return trip I had regained my composure after several glasses of wine, but was thwarted again by a foul poison emitting deodorant tree hanging within one foot of my face. I was rendered gasping and breathless yet again.

The dinner and good company were worth the suffering of the taxi though :)

Re: taxis
 

i shall be using one tomorrow evening, always ask the fare when ya ring up n book em, thats tactic i use, dont say owt to driver, then tell him to get stuffed if he says its any more.:D should say, i always tip em if honest, if they try conning they get sod all.

Re: taxis
 

sue the site over an overexpensive taxi?? hehe

The firm i used last to get a taxi from asda has an X in it. I am in clayton too and i was charged £2.50 as usual. True, the taxi driver turned his stero on full blast and played gansta rap tunes. Also Dill Hall lane was packed and he drove on the pavement to turn left :eek:

Re: taxis

I remember losing a coat the same way

Re: taxis
 

that wasnt a taxi you drunken fool it was a boy racer looking to earn some petrol money to keep him warm when sat outside mcdonalds in his corsa ,the X was the year of his car :D

Re: taxis
 

Sounds like the voice of experience - I thought you had stopped sitting outside McDonalds months ago :rolleyes::p:D

Re: taxis

Re: taxis
