(And with an ex Black Cab cousin who now drives buses in Hastings !!) I'm surprised that your actual rates aren't published on this site. However on another site it quotes the following Black Cab rates: Initial pick-up starting figure £1.40 (Increasing to £2.00 in the evening)then 20pence per every 219 metres travelled. Can you confirm these rates please. (I appreciate your comment to Cathy about time in traffic) Will be doing the tourist thing with my American wife in November so am doing advance planning.

Have to say that initially our impression of taxi drivers wasn't very good- sullen, not very friendly and certainly not very helpful ,untill one Saturday. A couple of us arrived in Euston and then had to pick up a friend in Paddington. Well, our taxi driver was just fab. He was friendly, helpful and even gave us our own personal guided tour of London, poining out places of interest that made the 'fare' so much more interesting. If only I had taken his number to let him know personally how much difference he had made to our trip. Another visit is booked to see Joseph again 27th March. Am hoping that once again we have a nice friendly guy who welcomes us to London.We are five girls/ladies who whilst out for some fun want to be treated with respect and friendliness whilst using our special black cabs. Watch out for us because we will be reporting back guys!. Hi Guys

Michael earned his wealth and success unlike the wall street barons and phony politicians of our government. Phelps smoking a glass pipe should say something negative about the drug laws and not about the man. If you can achieve what he did in the Olympics while high then we should reconsider as a country why we choose to make getting high illegal. <a href="www.sunflowerpipes.com" rel="nofollow">SunflowerPipes.com</a> Michael Phelps is a hero to America, Phelps personifies a strong work ethic and a desire to win.

You will have noted how many of Tony's cronies - failures mostly - have now got top European positions at obscenely inflated salaries and perks as a reward for being useless. Diatribe time... Why is it that, having stolen £5billion a year from private pensions immediately after they came to power, nearly eleven years ago, and heaped some seventy extra stealth taxes on us, having increased the numbers of doctors, dentists, nurses, police (and most of all civil service, quangos and cronies) we have less police on the streets,a drastically worse Health Service, virually no NHS dentists (not free at the point of care) and a pension system that has made it vitually impossible to save in as means testing at retirement age will affect the amount you can receive.
