Cab fare can’t be justified (From Warrington Guardian)

• "Another point about London Cabs - they are usually quite busy. In Warington, numbers of Hackneys have increased over the past twelve years, meaning many Taxis will work a ten-hour day and often get an average of only 10 -15 jobs a day. They can't pick and choose them, your fare might have been one of the best your driver got that day.
  would you like to work 10-hour days for £50-£60 per day and pay for the running of a vehicle out of that.
  I won't, which is why I sold up and got out of the business. I was sick and tired of people who earned £30, 40, 50K a year and spending a fortune on traveling to london, Scotland and countries around the world resenting paying a fare which left me with £350 for myself after expenses and an 80-hour week, sometimes being up and out at 4am to take someone to an airport, other times working a long weekend shift to take cabs-ful of resentful (and sometimes violent) drunks home for a few pounds after they have spent 50, 60, 70 pounds getting absolutely plastered and doped-up.
  Stop moaning and show a little respect for cabbies!"
