Yes Dulwich Fox but comared to minicabs this goes to the Black Cab, they do not have to pay for a circuit or commission. However they did work hard for the pleasure to become a Black Cab Driver. However as with all traded there are good and bad. I was stuck in traffic with a customer for 30 mins only to find a road closed in central London. I had to turn round, saw a Black Cab with a cutomer in the back and told him the road was closed, but he just sat there. HUM

I use the keen group app on my iPhone. Enter the pick up and drop off addresses. Get an immediate quote to the nearest 10p. Choose to accept the quote and a car gets your position on their sat nav. You get a text when they are outside your address. How efficient is that!


Up to you whether you go through the headache of phoning a cab base. Try and explain your location. Get a price.. Get a phone call from the lost driver who will be late because he is lost. 3 experiences of this from a local cab office. I always give my post code and house number.


While I'm sure there are other apps like it The Keen Group app is one of my better downloads for services in this area and to stay on topic the prices seem reasonable to me too.


A very 1st world problem!

"Hmm. Wait til Uber are busy"


In my experience, when Uber is busy, everybody is busy, and anyway, using Uber doesn't stop you from calling a cab firm or trying to flag a black cab; it's just another option, and one that brings a bit more competition on price. 9pm on Xmas day, ED to South Ken, ?16 with Uber - no 'time and a half' or mark up.

      T.D. PLUMBFIX SOLUTIONS LTD

      By red5 · Posted

      I have had multiple jobs completed at my home by T.D. PLUMBFIX SOLUTIONS LTD, and I wouldn't go to anyone else now. They always come at the agreed day/time, I have never been asked to rearrange. The jobs have always been completed to extremely high standards, and as a perfectionist myself, I appreciate this level of care and detail. I'm grateful of the clear up afterward too, leaving me very little to do after the job is done. I am always blown away by the speed and efficiency  - no waffle, no flannel, just sheer hard work from start to finish. In summary - a highly professional first class service. Don't hesitate to call T.D. PLUMBFIX SOLUTIONS LTD, if you like excellence and trade people that will respect your home.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      Or increase tax.  The freezing of personal allowances is one way, not what I would choose.  On principle I don't care if the rich immigrate.  The main parties could have been more honest before the election.  Reform is deluded.

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By HeadNun · Posted

      I edited my post because I couldn't be sure we were talking about politicians and I couldn't be bothered to read it all back. But it was off the back of a thread discussing labour councillors, so it went without saying really and I should have left it.  What I said was 'There's something very aggressive about language like that - it's not big and it's not clever. Some of the angry energy that comes from the far left is pretty self-defeating.' (In relation to a labour councillor rather immaturely, in my view, wearing a jumper that read 'fuck the Tories').  But I don't recall saying that "violent rhetoric" is exclusively the domain of the left wing. So I do think you're taking a bit of a bit of leap here.

      You literally just edited your earlier reply to remove the point you made about it being “politicians”.  Then you call me pathetic.    I’m  not trying to say you approve any of the ugly right wing nonsense.  But I AM Saying your earlier post suggesting  violent rhetoric being “left wing” was one-sided and incorrect
