Taxis

[studentphil]

How do people afford them? There are people that use 1 or 2 taxis a day.

[amyb]

They have fantastic jobs which pay them loads of money ergo they can afford taxis.

Next Q?

[PabloNeruda]

I know they don't though. It is another one of these magic money going out thing.

I have a "special relationship" with cetain taxi drivers and sometimes they give it me for free....

Maybe thats the case...




(Edit: Just re read this.... not that sort of special relationship....)

Perhaps you could try this.....

[Tojo Ralph]

People in my area go clubbing 6 nights a week.

It's the seals that I feel sorry for.

[studentphil]

It costs 15 quid for a few drinks down the pub.

[Alexandria]

My sister always gets into the clubs she visits for free and if I go along with her I get in free, simply because the bouncers like her. Even if her boyf goes he gets in free!

[amyb]

It costs 15 quid for a few drinks down the pub.


And?????????????

[studentphil]

And?????????????

So you need big amounts of cash to go out clubbing and taking taxis a lot.

[andycarmi]

How do you afford Uni?

[Mistyang]

[amyb]

Depends what sort of clubs you go to i suppose???

[Mistyang]

what about ghey clubs as nelly would say?

[andycarmi]

A taxi back from town cost me £15.00 usually share with friends so about £4.00 each.

[viktory]

Better to take a taxi and be safe than risk an unlicensed cab.

Most people work hard and enjoy a bit of R&R.

[studentphil]

Oh aye, the people near me do a lot of R&R. One woman who lives in the flats near me who I talk to often and she goes out loads and shopping all the time.

[Zara33]

Suppose it's better than sitting curtain twitching, give it a try you might be surprised that you actually enjoy it!

No, I know people my age who live near me as I went to the same school as them. So it is not surpising I talk to them when I see them.

[andycarmi]

Why don't you go out with them and share a taxi back?

[Zara33]

OMG!!!! don't tell me there are more like you _pale_

[newMS]

guess you wouldn't need neighbourhood watch with noseyparkerphil around lol

[studentphil]

Why don't you go out with them and share a taxi back?

Because they are too cool to want to go out with me.

[Zara33]

Because they are too cool to want to go out with me.
:rotfl: :rotfl: but they still gossip with you

[andycarmi]

Because they are too cool to want to go out with me.

Have you asked them? There not too cool to talk to you so thay might go out if you ask?

[studentphil]

:rotfl: :rotfl: but they still gossip with you

I do talk to them but I am miles apart from them in fashion, interests and so forth.

[studentphil]

What are the vast majority of women aged 19- 24 into? Clubbing, clothes, make up, drinking. I have none of those interests so I am not cool enough for them.

I am confused now.

[Graham_Devon]

Say YES now!

FFS!

[studentphil]

Yes Yes Yes

[milkydrink]

Lots of SP threads seem to go like this.
I have 2 theories.......
1. Is hes a middle aged perv
2. He really is a student virgin, but getting off on this & sat at his keyboard with one hand typing & the other hand.............well....................

For what its worth, I think its the second.

[studentphil]

So Taxis depend on having a job and then you can affod one to go out all the time.

[Graham_Devon]

Yes Yes Yes

See, you have won now, as she won't do it and her teasing you has to come to an end. You have risen above it.

If she did do it, you'd rise to it. So either way, your a winner :)

Not really sure how i'd manage that whilst weebling to be honest.

Its a valid point.

You know just sometimes you need a cuddle just to feel all warm and nice, not to be kicked.

Theres other ways to feel warm and nice. And Amy is literally opening up to you right now :p

My daughter used a taxi last week to get to 6 form (it was just for one day as she starts in September) she is unable to walk far, its about a mile away it cost £4.50 for 1 mile.

We now been told that as of September we will have to find £300 per annum and thats subsided by the county council.

They are not cheap arent taxis. Can she not get LA transport for Post 16?

[Poppycat]

Thanks, no its only when she was at secondary school we are on a low income, no dla as yet but have a blue badge.

She may get that ema (http://ema.direct.gov.uk/ema.html) though, but I feel she is being penalised because if it was me, I would walk that 1 mile and have all the money for lifes extras. £30 is maximum award assuming she gets the maximum amount, of which £8 per week will be taxi fare

On the bright side, that still leaves her 22 quid a week to save. Not great but it is something.

[Avoriaz]

How do people afford them? There are people that use 1 or 2 taxis a day.
They have jobs and earn money.

You should try it. :)

[Sharifa]

Phil - why are you obssessed with what the mythical 'they' do? Wouldn't it be more fulfilling to live your own life instead of fretting about what other people do?

Incidentally, it would be more honest to post in the Arms and simply say 'I'm bored; anyone fancy a chat?' There's no reason to clog up DT with this kind of thread.

[Morglin]

Dunno Phil - my ex was a taxi driver, and you would be amazed what he got offered instead of the more conventional cash...............:eek: :eek: :eek:

I personally always thought that the women offering a BJ in exchange for a £5 fare were selling themselves a little cheaply......... :rolleyes:

But, as he used to say, BJ's don't put dinner on the table, so I expect most of those getting 2 taxis a day work for a living (or if not, have it paid for by their social workers/the DWP).:rolleyes:

[ringo_24601]

why hadn't i found this thread earlier?

Here's a reason for me taking lots of taxis.. work pays for it

Whenever I go away for business, i live the high life. I stay in the Hilton, i take a taxi everywhere I go and I eat at good restaurants. Best of all it's all on expenses and costs me nothing. I even get money back from Quidco and free Hilton stays using Hilton points for this stuff.

And I have a 2:2 :)

I really can not believe women are so low to do that. Now that strengthens my view that they heavy party goers are not my sort if they are a low as to offer things like that.

Or maybe you've found your job? Taxi driver?

[ringo_24601]

One of my friends at school, her dad was a taxi driver. They had an indoor swimming pool and sauna, so i guess there was some money in it

[studentphil]

Or maybe you've found your job? Taxi driver?

I prefer women who respect themselves and are careful and responsible. It does worry me if all this going out and getting legless is really the wisest thing to do.

[ringo_24601]

it might not be the wisest thing, but it is fun getting legless

SP, you do sound like you are the most boring graduate in the whole world

[Need_More_Money]

You worry too much. There's a time for being sensible and a time for having fun

[bandraoi]

I remember seeing somewhere that for alot of people it would actually be cheaper for them to get taxis everywhere than to pay for the car they own.

Typical car costs:
£810 before you've driven it anywhere or allowed for depreciation- from:
http://www.moneymatterstome.co.uk/7-Personal-life-choices/Sub1/Activity-BuyingACar.htm

depreciation and interest payments could easily be another £500.
so you're talking £1310 before you've paid for a drop of petrol to go anywhere, that's £25 a week.

If you don't use your car to get to work, it's quite possibly cheaper to simply take two or three taxis a week.

[gravitytolls]

it might not be the wisest thing, but it is fun getting legless

SP, you do sound like you are the most boring graduate in the whole world

He was previously the most tedious student in the world.:rolleyes:

[frannyann]

It very true, often advise older people who don't need to drive to work to get rid of their cars, as it works out cheaper to taxi twice a week than maintain and run a car. Helps their money go further too. Sp, trust me you really need to go out clubbing with girls like that, do you the world of good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[studentphil]

My husband is a cab driver.
That £4.50 for one mile..........
About half of whats earned is profit, the first half goes towards the purchase of the car, the wear & tear on the car, the depreciation of the car, the tax on the car, the MOTing of the car, the cleaning of the car, the hire & reward insurance, the licencing of the car, the licencing of the driver, the fuel, ECT ECT ECT.
So that leaves £2.25 of your fare. Its not just the time your daughter spent in the car, its the time it too him to drive to your house to pick her up. So if that all took 20 minutes, you will see that its not that much really. £6.75 PH & then your tax & NI & accountant to pay.

[studentphil]

It is!! Treat yourself to a taxi to get there to :D

You would need two rugs though, one to sit on and one to cover yourself up with if it is cold.

If you don't use your car to get to work, it's quite possibly cheaper to simply take two or three taxis a week.

I do this at the moment. Aside from the fact I hate driving, the costs of running a second car would outweigh what I spend in fares.

Taxis are far quicker than a train journey and so the cost of my time is also factored in.

[studentphil]

At least with a car you can go where ever you want whenever you want, however, with a taxi you are fairly limited to where you can go.

[gravitytolls]

Why? It's still a car isn't it? It's capable of going anywhere any other car goes.

Anyhoo, we all know you can drive your parents car, so this thread is irrelevent isn't it?

I think he ripped here off as town is about same distance and it costs £3.80-£4.00

I wasn't saying £4.50 was the correct price for 1 mile.
The other poster said she had been charged £4.50 for one mile.
I was just explaining that its not £4.50 in the driver pocket.

Actually the minimum fare is usually £4-£5 (depending on where you live) & you can go up to 2 miles for that.

last taxi i got was either £3 or £3.50 for 1 1/2 miles i think :confused:

i used the cheapest firm known to man though, used them once cos they were new, cheap and turned up a few minutes late but were cheap and the car was clean and the driver friendly, used them ever since when i don't drive
