I just got home late from work - got a taxi back. My work will always
refund
me for a taxi receipt - but in this case the driver (Black cab number
86423)
refused to give me a receipt ("I've none left mate") and after me asking
him
to write something on a blank piece of paper, anything - drove off
knocking
my head off his open window (while I was talking to him).

As a black cab driver myself, I'd say that the problem with the receipt,
while annoying, should just be chalked up as one of those things, especially
as you have a supply of blanks. I doubt that a complaint about this would
lead to anything anyway.

However, if he drove off, presumiably in anger, and caused you injury in the
process, I sincerely hope you do complain, as his behaviour reflects on the
trade as a whole.

In that case, I might just do that. Really not interested in getting
involved with any assault proceedings with the police - but a quick visit to
Penton Street (it is only around the corner from me!) should be in order.
