Its down to the Taxi company, not the individual taxi driver. So it doesnt matter whether the taxi driver is christian or not.

Plus as RichD says, they will pay it.

shouldnt that be prophet :hihi: :hihi:

If a taxi firm offered different rates of pay to different taxi drivers purely because some of them observed one religion and some observed another that firm would leave itself open to accusations of discrimination. If two people are doing the same job for the same firm they should get the same rates of pay and the same terms and conditions. Given that taxi firms are competing against each other to persuade drivers to work for them the ones that offer the best rates of pay and terms and conditions (such as extra pay for working on Christmas Day) will be more likely to attract drivers than those which offer the worst.

Whilst non-Christian taxi drivers may not celebrate Christmas in the way that many people do that doesn't alter the fact that in the UK Christmas Day is a public holiday and therefore many places are closed.

i'm pretty sure that for licensed taxis (not sure about minicabs) the fare is set by the council.

Because, regardless of their religion, they're working in the United Kingdom where Christmas is a public holiday.

I'm not a Christian but the only time I've worked Christmas Day I demanded double pay. :thumbsup:

That sounds like a good time to launch Kirky's Kabs.

And he can launch a Kirky's Kebabs for the non-Ramadan months of the year :D

Or he could do kebabs in the cabs, and be Kirky's Kebab Kabs. Mind you, that's KKK, so maybe not.

I can think of some posters who wouldn't have a problem with a cab firm called KKK (though they might not want kebabs as they're not British).
