Uber

[MicrosoftBob]

I suppose I should have guessed MicrosoftBob lives in India!

whilst back in the UK Taxi Drivers are checked by the local government.

Taxi drivers are, but Uber drivers aren't taxi drivers

And besides I think you are doing the needful and mixing me up with Bob Shawadiwadi the most famous contractor on CUK

 

[MrMarkyMark]

FTFY

mixing me up with Bob Shawadiwadi the most famous and richest contractor on CUK

To be honest, their estimates can be well out in any case.

I get better value from an East London firm, that will even pick me up from South London.
They are cheaper because of where they are based.

So are you saying all black can drivers are just as likely to be rapists as unlicensed Uber drivers ?, and there is no oversight to the current licensing system ?

I am not going to extrapolate. I was just stating a fact.

I was just making the point your story was from India and therefore was irrelevant With a name like Bob what do you expect?

Have used them in London a few times and have been very good.

I was out with a few developers from an IB, one was indian and he said there was a well publicised rape in India by an uber driver.

Of course there are probably millions of uber drives everyday, we did warn the chap he might get bound and tortured before he got home but he sent me a free £10 voucher this morning. So I imagine he got home safely, or enjoyed the sexual attack.

he only gave you £10 for sex? Blimey you will undercut NLYUK.

You know India is a big place with > 1 billion people living there and a real issue with rape. We are talking about the UK?

It wasn't my story I didn't post it here, and you base the relevance of someone's story on their assumed name on a contractors message board how quaint and get the wrong user

But apart from that...

Used it for the first time in Leeds this week, pretty impressed.

 

[I just need to test it]

I used it in Hungary a few times and apart from not being able to use the taxi lanes (aaaaaarrrrrghhh) it was great.
