Aren't the Liverpool taxi drivers the coolest guys on earth!?

No.
They are F*****g A*******s.

They all drive around empty saying they are booked at 2 am.
They suddenly become unbooked if you offer them 拢40 for a journey worth 拢10.

Dan, so London Cabbies don't want the punters in and out as quick as possbile like they claim? Just as I suspected they love to have punters sit there all day.
Ever tried to get one in central london going south of the river at 2am? They only take you if they feel like going that way....
What kind of professional service is that?
I had a taxi driver have a go at me when my fare was 拢5.50 and I only had a 拢20. He seemed to think it was unreasonable for me to expect him to have change at 7am!!. Would a shop keeper tell me that?
No we are not jealous of taxi drivers. I wouldn't want to be one in a million years. Far too many London Cabbies are a disgrace to the profession.

Are you a scouse taxi driver by any chance?

yup. second only to scouse waitresses!

lol why that then.

I visited Liverpool today, "You'reGreat."

All taxi drivers no matter where they come from are arrogant and selfish pr1cks. I have never ever being "let out" by a taxi driver on the roads and as a result I have a policy of never ever letting them out as well. Even there choose of job where they sit down all day is a reflection of their personalities as inherently lazy people. Also the only reason you think they are the coolest guys on earth is because they are out looking for a tip.

And what do you do for a living mobjob, in between collecting benefit, and poncing off the state. And you don't hate cabbies, you're jealous of them, there is a significant difference thickness.
PS: very admiral grammar.
PPS: It's extremely nice of you not to give way to taxi drivers, because the longer the fare's in the back, the more we earn, thanks again stunted brain.

I have heard stories of good Liverpool taxi drivers going out of their way for people, but more often they are unpleasant stories about stealing money from foreigners (particularly when they are frail, old and don't speak English).

In my experience they can be very rude and even spit if they consider your journey to be a short one!
As they make much more money from five one-mile journeys than from one five-mile journey they also appear to be stupid as well as offensive.

Also, try getting a Hackney Cab when there's a football match on the telly...

I have never had problems with Liverpool taxi drivers either hackney or private, bus drivers also are polite in Liverpool. If you want rude then go to London
