Reminds me if the (possibly apocryphal, but I have a mate who swears it happened to his mate) story about the breakdown truck driver in Cardiff who was called by the RAC or AA or someone to attend a breakdown in Minehead... "but you're only ten miles away!".
Hwyl!

That's clearly unrealistic. It's on the edge of unrealistic for a business not relying on the tardiness of standards.
It could be worth it, if we could ensure that it killed the right people...
Of course......
I had no problem a couple of weeks ago.
I don't use cheques - haven't written one for three years.
Possibly. But some airports charge so much for a taxi licence (Manchester!) that I think the cabbies want to work cash in hand as much as possible.
I've used that in the past and agree it is both quick and pretty good. But not much use to go to South Queensferry unfortunately :-)
So how did you find one that took a CC then ? I've never seen one with either a machine or credit card signs. Am I missing something here ?
This one isn't based on standards so it's merely on the edge. Meeting CEO next week (other post should indicate where) so we'll see how much he's prepared to sweat blood :-)
I just got in one. First in the row.
And he had a machine in the cab ?
Yep.
Get the Lothian buses 100 service to Shandwick Place (Haymarket), walk along Atholl Cres to Queensferry St / Drumsheugh Place and get the northbound First Edinburgh service 43 which runs to South Queensferry Station Road, Burgess Road, The Loan (Scotmid), Hopetoun Rd (Church)
Total journey time 1 hr, fare £4.85 (£3 from the airport, std single, £1.85 from West End to SQ). The savings will pay for a sausage roll from Greggs for lunch :-) And you'll get a nicer view from the top deck than you will from a taxi.
