Yesterday, my son booked Clapham Minicabs, online, to get him and his wife and young son to Gatwick Airport for a flight back to Taiwan today. He paid ?50+ for them to collect from us in ED at 7.30 this morning but after waiting until 7.40 he called to see where they were. He couldn't get through to their number as there seemed to be something wrong with it so we all got pretty anxious. However he did get through around 8.00 and was told that they couldn't contact the cab driver and couldn't say where he was.

By then we had had enough and told them so and my son booked Uber. After 25 minutes (and being able to track their cab all the way) Uber had arrived and taken them off for a comfortable, swift journey to the airport and what a great relief it was to us all!

So, we now hope our son does get a refund, but that company's incompetence certainly gave us a very stressful time

today!


Thank you for sharing and don't forget CLAPHAM MINICABS1!

      Vet recommendation

      By tiddles · Posted

      Miss Robson is the last of the old school independent vets. All the chains are have seriously hiked their prices over the last few years which now makes pet ownership only possible for the wealthy few. Even with pet insurance -( which often excludes items or has ‘deductibles’ ) it is just so much money. A visit with some medication is often £150 - £200. The vets themselves are excellent.

      Awful. A Google search came up with this, but will he check his office email over Christmas? Maybe worth also contacting local councillor? 'To contact Southern Housing's CEO, Paul Hackett, you can try his direct email, [email protected], or use the general contact email [email protected], as well as calling their main number, 0300 303 1066, for general inquiries or to be directed to the executive level.' Also, from the website: https://www.southernhousing.org.uk/latest-news/2025/contacting-us-over-the-festive-period   'Contacting us about an emergency? If you have an emergency outside of the above times over the festive period, such as severe flooding, an uncontainable leak, gas leak, complete electrical failure or lift breakdown, please call us on 0300 303 1066' I hope it is sorted out soon.

      Be careful in local shops

      By Sue · Posted

      Sorry but I think it's best if people just check things for themselves when they buy things. In three shops/restaurants (from some years back) I just avoid the places concerned, as in all three  cases I was pretty sure it wasn't a genuine mistake, and in one place  it happened more than once and usually late at night.
