Last year Mrs B, the B Jr x3, and I got off the plane at Heathrow following a flight from Australia all absolutely knackered. Every single black cab refused to take us as the fair would only be around £50 and it wasn't worth their time.
It turns out that Heathrow has implemented a fixed fair system, but black cabs aren't obligated to take anyone. We eventually ordered an uber who turned up in a nice shiny new car and was very courteous and polite.
IMO black cabs have had their day. They're expensive, are often "Not going that way mate", and both they and uber drivers use the same satnav apps so 'the knowledge' is a bit pointless now anyway.And the lord said unto John; "come forth and receive eternal life." But John came fifth and won a toaster.Comment

I have local mini-cab numbers in my phone. I've actually found mini-cabs cheaper than Ubers for airports and mainline train stations as the fares are fixed. The reason they are cheaper is they frequently do drop before they pick you up."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment
