I was on standby to be honest ,just in case ,but 7 of them would not have fit in the car and it would be a bit harsh to leave the three ugliest by the roadside !!!

And the wife would not have been happy if she was one of them .lol

Same here in MK. had a few people try and get cabs in MK about 12:30 (after pubs close, before clubs close) and it was 1.5hr wait.

I've heard that some cabbies are struggling to make money with rising costs.

Common theme it seems

I was at Old Trafford a couple of weeks ago, couldn't get a taxi even an hour after the match has finished.

Son was out in Liverpool city centre on Saturday night with friends, took them two hours to get a cab

All these people going out to celebrate their friends' birthdays! They are a flaming nuisance trying to commandeer the taxis!

Ought not to be allowed!
