[Solomon1 10]

Agreed..

 

do you really want to be labelled a thief and a criminal gannon?

[SYorksDeano 10]

I've had it "tried" on with me many times. I once had a driver take me from the train station to Southey via Hillsborough Centre!!!!

 

I have even had a driver try and take me to Northern General via West Street from the Interchange

I walk home nowadays, taxis are a bit expensive, for the sake of a 40-50 minute walk I can save £10.

Agreed 100%. Most people out in town must be less than a hours walk away.

 

I have always walked home, it's about 75 mins for me. It sobers me up, gets rid of the calories I've just drunk and saves me more than a tenner. Above all I just love to see our city when it's quiet.

 

I have always felt pretty safe walking alone, and given some of the stories one hears about taxis these days it's probably safer than a taxi.

I check the last 4 digits of the note when I hand over a £20, when I remember!

How come this thread gets so much sympathy?

When I posted a thread about a taxi driver and problems with change, I got mostly sarcasm.

Just curious.

Its probably a good idea if can guaranteed to not be mugged - but then the taxi drivers do that anyway - considering the frequency it happens I think I'd rather now take my chances on the street ! WHat a sad sorry thing to have to say !
