    Go to a nightclub in central London at chucking out time. Take up a tout's offer of a 'taxi', when you arrive don't pay, if they've a problem they can take it up with the police, which they won't because they were illegally touting. :p

    And when you get home from the airport after your holiday you'll find someone has put a brick through your windows.
    Liverpool is one of the wonders of Britain,
    What it may grow to in time, I know not what.

    If you take said illegal PHV from outside a nightclub they won't know where you live. :p

    Even if they knew your address, an illegal mini cab driver would have serious problems finding it...

    If you’re going to/from Stansted airport, chuck me a PM and I’ll give you a few numbers, one licensed with East Herts council, the other with Uttlesford council.
