Some people will always book their taxi well in advance and will ask for a taxi at 9am or 10.30pm or five to eleven etc etc but there's always one that has to be a bit eccentric I suppose..
I didn't think anything of it at first until I noticed on the PDA screen (image to the left) that the job was pre-booked for 9.02pm and even so I thought that the customer had rang it asking for it in 20 mins and the telephonist at our end had booked it in as 20 minutes from the current time for example but curiosity got the better of me and so I questioned the young man and asked "What time did you book your cab for" expecting him to say 9pm. He actually said 2 minutes past nine and went on to explain that he was meeting a girl in the pub and had told her that if she wasn't there by 9pm that he would be going without her and he had rang the taxi at 8pm ish anticipating that she wasn't going to turn up and allowed 2 minutes at 9pm and then got in the taxi and went on his way.

I love the self-defeating impatience there. Two people's watches could easily be out by 5 minutes difference.
A taxi driver will usually arrive at a timed booking 2 or 3 minutes early anyway.
By the looks of it you were waiting time round the corner.
I'd have booked it for quarter past and just had one more drink
Just one of a many such eccentic bookings, I couldn't help but smile when reading this blog!! I have seen a few of these.

Hi there,
I don't know if you read the comments on this site. I am a black cab driver in London and was wondering if you had an email address as I have a question to ask you regarding the work but would rather not ask in a public forum like this.
Thank you and I look forward to hearing back from you.
I do think that technology can help to ease our live.However,some of my friends said that they always received fake booking as this technology has been introduced into practice.

It is better for you to book your car in advance, because if you book your car in short time then it is difficult for you and car service provider to provide you the vehicle on time.

Hmm. That's interesting. I suppose leaving a "Great post!" is better than just reading and moving on. I wonder what the statistic is for how many people actually leave a comment.
How informative post thanks for this information.
