Hey, has anyone else booked a cab online. I did the other night. Was
much cheaper than taking a black cab. the cab arrived on time and i
arrived home safely. By prepaying i didn't even have to go looking for
money at the end of a lonnng night :-) I think its a good idea, any
comments.
i used http://www.minicabsinlondon.com and will again :-D

Hey Mr. Spammer, you're quoting me over £50 from Balham to Gatwick. My
most expensive local firm charges £28.

So **** off!

A few years ago, I'm standing in Shaftesbury Avenue at night, waiting for
a cab. Black cab comes along with no light on, but pulls up to me.

Cabbie: "I'm going home, mate."
Ian: "Where do you live?"
Cabbie: (thinks) "Er...Clapham."
Ian: "Great. I live in Balham!"
Cabbie: "Jump in."

One mile later...

Cabbie: "I had you down as a Jewish guy, like me. Thought you'd say you
lived in Hampstead or Golders Green or somewhere."
Ian: "I am Jewish, but I live in Balham."
Cabbie: "Serves me right, I suppose!"

It's a funny story, but I don't understand why he'd stop and offer if he
didn't want to give you a lift.

No idea - it's a mystery. Maybe he was hoping for something to where he
actually lived (Forest Hill), although that doesn't really stack up. And
he didn't charge me when we got to Balham!

My guess is that "Liberty Car Service", in the person of Naresh
Mahtani, could be the (cough) satisfied customer of the cab company. I
could be wrong ;-)
