Title: Taxi fairs Post by: lebowski on Thursday, August 9, 2007, 21:07:54 my advice would be to agree on a fare with the taxi driver before getting in the taxi, otherwise he will rip you off.
Title: Taxi fairs Post by: Bogus Dave on Thursday, August 9, 2007, 21:08:50 Lebowski - ok
Arriba - fuck off Title: Taxi fairs Post by: yeo on Thursday, August 9, 2007, 21:09:29 Quote from: "lebowski" my advice would be to agree on a fare with the taxi driver before getting in the taxi, otherwise he will rip you off. seriously? its a 5 minute Taxi ride Title: Taxi fairs Post by: Bennett on Thursday, August 9, 2007, 21:09:49 i recomend asking specifically for a pleb driver so you don't feel to strange with a normal person in the car :D

Title: Taxi fairs Post by: flammableBen on Thursday, August 9, 2007, 21:36:39 If you've never got a taxi before then there's some taxi etiquette that you might not know about. The main one, which normally catches taxi virgins out in a bit or a taxi faux pas, is kissing the taxi driver on the hand before you give him the money. It's generally considered rude not to.
It goes back to the days when cabs were like engineless cars pulled by horses. Feeding the horse and keeping it clean could be a messy job, and it was a polite way to show the driver that you appreciated his attempts at cleanliness. It's a good British tradition which has managed to survive the influx of Eastern European taxi drivers and it's one you should try to keep up. Title: Taxi fairs Post by: Arriba on Thursday, August 9, 2007, 21:39:55 good advice ben.
i'd like to add that the price quoted is infact half what you should pay.you must tip the driver the exact same amount as the price he tells you.if not he could get very angry and take you back to where you started.taking the fare from you first of course. Title: Taxi fairs Post by: Tails on Thursday, August 9, 2007, 21:46:38 Costs about £6/£7 to get to old town from Nine Elms so it shouldn't be much at all.
Title: Taxi fairs Post by: sonic youth on Thursday, August 9, 2007, 21:59:21 i've never been in a taxi either.

Completely true Arriba. You should also offer the taxi driver some hay. Again, this is from the time when Taxi's were pulled along by horses. The driver doesn't actually expect you to have any and won't accept, but it's a politeness thing. You don't want to get blacklisted by taxi drivers, they pass on information between them in secret code. If you piss off one of them then you'll never be able to get a taxi again. Title: Taxi fairs Post by: neville w on Friday, August 10, 2007, 06:38:19 A little known fact is that they used to have sedan chairs before taxis were common place. Usually for the gentry.
Upon leaving hosts for the journey home, the phrase "chair - ho" was used to summon the transport. This has become the well known phrase "cheerio" in modern times (that was one of the first useless facts I ever learnt) Title: Taxi fairs Post by: land_of_bo on Friday, August 10, 2007, 07:31:46 Quote from: "neville w" A little known fact is that they used to have sedan chairs before taxis were common place.
