I still remember that night well, good times... Was with a friend of mine, we were walking about town eating cheap donuts from co-op.
My friend threw a donut at one of the dogs that was chasing us.
I was about fifth on the taxi rank at Liverpool St. station years ago, when a young chav appeared at my window, and said, “I want to go to Stoke Newington, pick up my mate, then go to Edmonton.”
He was wearing the ubiquitous drab grey track suit, and his neck and forehead were liberally decorated with tattoos, he didn’t look like he had enough money for a bus, let alone a Black Cab.
I said, “You have to take the first cab on the rank.”
He said, “I’ve asked them all, no one will take me.”
I said, “I tell you what, give me £40, and I’ll take you, if it’s less than £40 on the meter, I’ll give you the change back.”
He said, “You can’t do that, I know the law, you can’t refuse me, I’ll find a copper.”
I said, “Go on then, the nick is in Bishopsgate.”
Christ knows where he went, but I took a couple with two kids to Great Ormond St. hospital.

Thank god we have Uber now and drivers can't discriminate based on appearances, and drivers can't do cash deals.
I used to work in a place which had a team for those leaving care. Mostly teens. Before they started working on the site some builders came to wall off their office, I had no idea why.
It soon became clear it was because their "client base" were total chavs. I have never seen people who were so rude, brash and selfish, and violent to boot. It was a real culture shock.
Three things stand out. One girl who was incredibly loud and rude, I have never met anyone like her before or since. She was utterly shameless. One day she came into the place with two bags FULL from Boots. I said to her, "that's a lot of shopping" to which she said, "I nicked it all". Apparently she just went into the shop, filled the bags and walked out. The guards did nothing. That was just another day for her.
Second was a girl who came to collect her weekly allowance, very pretty but with a real problem attitude. When she had to wait too long she got irritated. I heard her shouting from the other side of the building YA BAMBACLAT, a massive BANG and a scream. She had kicked in the door to the housing office and the glass pane had slid down like a guillotine on her ankle and severed her Achilles tendon. There was blood all over the floor. An ambulance had to come and take her away. She was back six weeks later still shooting her mouth off and trying to hit people with her crutches.
The third was a girl who would also come to collect her money. One day she got tired waiting and jumped over the front desk and tried to use the phone to shout at her housing officer. She stopped coming soon after that because we were told she'd been busted for heading a masked moped gang.
Needless to say I'm glad I don't work there anymore.
True, reminds me of one of the other girls in the place. Again, very attractive, and one day I noticed she had braces, I commented on them and she said it was because her boyfriend had punched her in the mouth and she needed to have her teeth put back in. I initially thought, "what a *******" but then one doesn't know what led up to that point.

A woman being attractive doesn't mean that they don't have as awful a character as the scrag-ends they are attracted to.

A taxi can decline trade for a reason that falls within reasonable excuse - a passenger's percieved inability to pay the fare would be such a reason. No 'cash deal' was offered - the driver simply wanted the fare up-front (which is well within the driver's legal ability to request) to prove said passenger could afford it, with any difference in fare handed back on completion of journey. As the passenger declined this option, it's only reasonable to believe the driver's assumptions based on appearence were perfectly correct, thus backing up his delinal of service with suitable evidence.
Thanks for your unambiguous and perfectly correct interpretation of what transpired that day Arsonist.
I wasn’t demanding £40 to do the job, I was endeavouring to make sure that if I did do it, I’d get paid for it.
I knew that, you could see that, probably dLockers could see it too, but no doubt the truth wouldn’t suit his agenda.
As for discriminating against prospective fares based on appearance, hands up, I was guilty of that when I was cruising the streets of the capital, anyone with a face full of tattoos hailing me could gaze wistfully at the rear of my taxi as I sailed by.
I didn’t care what colour a fare was, their money was the right colour, I’m not a racist, but I am a realist.

I went for a walk last week up a very scenic hill called ivinghoe beacon.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivinghoe_Beacon
We were walking behind a young couple who had clearly been to mcdonalds first, and had handfuls of mcdonalds boxes (for some reason they didnt seem to have a bag).
The lad, dropped a box on the floor, turned round and looked at it and then walked on. I immediately told him that he had dropped something, and he did pick it up (this is an instinctive reflex for me, as I am a Teacher!).
The path to top the hill splits, and rather than going straight up the hill they went to the right. The thought crossed my mind when they did this, that it might be so that they could litter without being told off. Sure enough, we went passed the route they had gone later, and they had left a massive pile of rubbish.
It really ****** me off! I truly dont understand the mentality of someone who deliberately litters like this, especially out in the countryside in an area of outstanding natural beauty. I know that some teenagers go through a stage of breaking all social conventions, but this was a couple in their 20's.

I'm sure you are all aware how this can be open for abuse by people not as well equipped to judge a book by their cover as Jean F is?
The Uber comment was clearly a poke based on the other thread. However, it does remove the possibility for this discrimination to occur whilst assuring a valid form of payment. It also entirely does away with bilking from what I understand.
We should just have an island for these people and put them all there. For the safety of everyone else.
I'd say you made the right call!
Dude that is an epic post and the reason this thread continues to deliver.
The first girl got knocked up by some chav and told me with a shrug, "I didn't want it, so I killed it". She could have been talking about turning down a cup of tea. She didn't seem to care less.
I wouldn't be surprised if all three girls were in prison now.

You're trying to police discrimination like a member of the Gestapo

To be fair it was a mixture of hilarious and terrifying, especially after one of them threatened to shoot me in the face because I reported him to the police for stealing a bike. I wouldn't wish working in that place on anyone, and to think there are people who willingly apply for such jobs. At least some amusing stories came out of it in the long run.
They have all the same music since it still exists, and all the modern tech and the internet to have it accessible at the click of a button
Reminds me of when me and a few friends went to an awful two day indoor festival in Sheffield maybe 5 or 6 years ago. Stood outside the hotel trying not to vomit because I put some stuff up my nose I maybe shouldn't have while one of my friends was having a smoke. This girl comes outside jittery as hell, asks to bum a smoke and then starts rambling about how sweet her boyfriend is for taking her away on a lovely trip to a nice hotel and all. Mind this was a cruddy travelodge type deal and Sheffield, no offense to anyone, isn't exactly fancy.
Turned out her boyfriend was "treating her" because he'd battered her so badly he smashed her jaw

When humans colonise Mars, you wonder if they'll be selective in populating the planet.
I think universal credit would still apply and be available, otherwise they should have called it Earth Credit.

I'd like to hope so... seems like an awful wasted opportunity if they arent selective.
I don't think he has. He posts some very bizarre things.
