London taxi account recommendations

That £45 doesn't include the £5 'admin fee' (yes, they charge for the onerous job of having to invoice you).

I am sure the account thing is a rip-off - but when you want to impress somebody by sending them home in a cab they don't have to pay for, there's no other way.

Also, I happen to know that with Addison Lee, the drivers only get half of an account fare, but they get all of a cash fare minus a couple of quid.

I do like the idea of a limobike for myself, but wouldn't want to force it on a client/dinner-date!

Who would be impressed by a tatty private hire mondeo?

To be honest, I thought LLB looked like an absolute tit when he turned up at the office on Leicester Square on the back of one, wearing a floppy suit and overcoat (he does a show for Classic FM, hence his presence).

Then again, I thought he looked like a bit of a tit whenever I ran into him - the Virgin motorbike taxi just accentuated it
