It doesn't really work properly in London anyway.
Anyway a man who wants to put in some extra hours and make a few quid in this country is punished and discouraged.

[Tony C]

found the local cabs to be way cheaper than Uber for airport trips.

But fkin hate have to make bookings well in advance and waiting ages fit them to arrive

Quite funny reading the Guardian comments. All the London-dwelling, Corbynista lefties are suddenly moaning about over-regulation and restraints on free trade. :hehe:

You have 'leftists' on the brain, my good man. And anyway the currently fashionable term is "snowflake." A duped follower of the globalist, Rothschildian agenda. Sort it out, cuckservative.

Won't lefties just claim this is a failure of regulation and it should have been tighter sooner?*

*Your mum should have been tighter sooner.

General secretary of the Licensed Taxi Drivers' Association Steve McNamara said: "The mayor has made the right call not to re-license Uber.
"We expect Uber will again embark on a spurious legal challenge against the mayor and TfL, and we will urge the court to uphold this decision.
"This immoral company has no place on London's streets."

Well, he is arguably talking about a rape app.

I left my daughter in an Uber for about 5 minutes recently with a driver called Muhammad as I dropped off my son at nursery.

I felt well not racist :cloud9:

For some reason he removed the '*only joking' from the end because he thought it would be funnier.

How we all laughed.

At least he didn't behead her, eh Monty? I mean, think of the mess to clean up :shrug:

So that highly entertaining story was you were a crap parent and left your daughter in a cab while you got out

[Monty92]

My car wouldn't start with two screaming kids in the back so I called an Uber. It was all a bit of a stress.

So you were still a crap parent as you left your daughter in a car with someone you didn't know.... :judge: Guilty

You really are so funny :-|

Was the cab in sight all this time?

[Pokster]

Was the cab in sight all this time?

It shouldn't matter, you don't leave her in there

[Monty92]

Was the cab in sight all this time?

It was out of sight for a few minutes, albeit parked in a busy car park.

Can we really not rely on the basic decency of people not to rape our children even in extenuating circumstances?

[Monty92]

It shouldn't matter, you don't leave her in there

I wouldn't leave them alone with a stranger routinely, but surely we can generally trust people not to fúck/abduct our kids?

Anyway he seemed nice.

Im just trying to see something good in this Poks!

[Ash]

The story was true apart from the bit at the end :shrug:

Here's a true story, according to my ex:

My ex, who is french, had very 'liberal/progressive' mother who wanted to show how non-racist she was by inviting some young maghrebian men into their home, where they were seated on the sofe next to her daughter, who was I think in her early teens at that time. When one of this fellows proceded to a little bit molest her, complete with her protestations, her mother did ..... nothing, and pretended it wasn't happening.

Needless to say my ex was not best pleased with her mother for this, and she has to carry the memory of this abuse, which would have happened some time in the 1980s, through her life. Some might think, even if they dare not say it in polite society, that this is quite the portender for what would come to pass.

Hmm, sounds as though someone in TFL has had their palms nicely greased here. Perhaps the black cabbies have pooled together.

The only good thing is m's car broke down

Oh! Well done for resisting your urges, Muhammed!

You cannot trust them to not fall asleep, though. My Uber to the airport the other day was alarming to say the least as my driver often seemed to be driving with his eyes closed, only waking up as his tyres hit the rumble strips/cats eyes.

This meant that I was forced to make conversation I'd really have preferred to avoid in order to keep the guy awake.

[Ash]

One would hope so. Here's another story.

I was in a pub in one of the streets just south of the British Museum when a woman came in, with a child and saying "has anyone lost their child?"

"Yes!" exclaimed another woman who had come into the pub looking for her lost child and went to claim her sprog.

"Is this your mother?" asked the first woman to the child. "Yes" replied the kid.

"Are you sure????" she demanded, holding the sprog back from its now-horrified mother being accused of potentially abducting her own child.

The child confirmed and the reunion was complete. It was wierd though, that for a moment the non-parent seemed to have 'legitimate' control over the fate of the child.

You would think in that situation the actual parent would have just produced a phone with a bazillion photos of said child. That's what happens every time i meet a parent these days

Yes. This was some years ago before the omnipresence of cameras with incorporated telephone functionality.

[Monty92]

Imagine what it's like being me with two distinctly un-ethnic looking children?

People assume I'm either a cheap, foreign - and presumably homosexual - au pair, or a particularly brazen member of a child sex grooming gang.

So the mother had come into the pub to look for her lost child?

It was years ago and I didn't interview her. She had probably run into all the shops and cafes too.

Did she have a drink?

Seems fair saying she had found the kid. Celebration and all that.

I don't recall. I do remember the kid looked like this though:

Just a swift one to steady the nerves and then I'll keep looking......

I hear that despicable bunghole Jeff Bezos owns a chunk of Uber, so an extra two cheers if he is unhappy.

[SWv2]

Why are so many people anti-Uber?

[Ash]

Why are so many people anti-Uber?

I don't think they are. Most people love cheap stuff, even if it means cheap labour and low living standards for other people.
