You should be able to charge for excess waiting time, afterall he is stopping you earning a crust while you are sitting outside his house.<BR/><BR/>what do you think about this situation which happened to me last week. I was on the Isle of Man, for a holiday, and ordered a taxi. The taxi driver set off to where i wanted to go [which was a different way to i would have gone] and after travelling for about 5 minutes he found the road was closed, so he turned round and went all the way back and went the way i would have gone in the first place. Then he had the cheek to charge me for the extra distance when it wasn't my fault!! I wasn't best pleased.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
