Pringles are crisps
Jaffa Cakes are biscuits
Uber’s and Beep Beeps etc, the “PHC’s” are taxis

People can try to claim different but they are what they are

Biscuits go soft when they are stale, and cakes go hard.Jaffa cakes go hard, so they are cakes.

Otherwise, I agree, a security guard is not a policeman, for example.

Great football chat on this thread. I take it the main board is for any subject matter now? Or should this be in the holy ground?

In this case say 15 minutes to get to the pickup at Waverley, job is half an hour, an if he's very lucky another job 15minutes after dropping off. So £8.90 An hour, minus tax and NI, 20% to beep beep, fuel, wear and tear.

It's a sprint to get to the bottom. Beep beep offer nothing to Edinburgh it is purely software. I'd like to go into the people behind it all but my post would probably be taken down plus I value my knee caps.

Its easy to make a scenario to suit a point, what about when later on at night with less traffic gets 3 or 4 jobs in an hour that net £30 in total due to the fact its quiet on roads.

You’re over complicating it, the same way someone would say a beep beep isn’t a taxi.

It’s a biscuit.

If we sign Efe Ambrose and he asks to be picked up in a taxi with some biscuits on hand, would he be raging if we sent an Uber with a box of Jaffa cakes?

Better?

So long as the interior has been well hoovered it'll be fine. :aok:

Capital Cars - All the Sevens - Beep Beep all the same with the common denominator being a Stephen Rose. All info is readily available to the public.

This new beep beep thing is just all the 7's rebranding, a PHC company,it is not taxi's.

Then the sat nav readjusts and goes a different route. Much like when a black cab driver finds out a road is closed and then has to go a different route.

What’s the info? That he (in saying that I’m not even sure if it’s the same guy or not) sold copied PS2 games in 2003? :confused: cause that’s about the only thing of note coming up if I search for him other than the fact he spent a lot of money on a private plate.

Crime of the century.

Edit: it would appear based on his age that it’s not the same guy anyway. What’s Stephen Rose done?

So the driver goes say 2 miles, then realises the road is closed and readjust to ho another way, in the mean time your charged more because Uber charges on distance covered. Meanwhile a cabbie knows what's open and what's closed and goes the correct way from get go.

I never said he had done anything just pointing out that he has been involved with the three companies. Liquidated Capital Cars owing £300000 to the VAT man tho.

No really, I just thought the main board was for discussing football and Hibs related stuff. Taxi drivers wages imho fall out with this. For what it’s worth Efe won’t be coming back unless we magic some money from nowhere, which doesn’t really happen often.

Well, in spite of all the talk about drivers wages and the fact I'd never heard of Beep Beep before, thanks to this thread I've downloaded the app.

If it gets me from A to B cheaper than a standard cab then I'll give them a try.

Sponsorship works!

Yeah, but we both know that cabbies don’t always know what’s opened and what’s closed, don’t we? Which is fine by the way, it’s impossible to know it all. The cabbies are nearly flawless while Uber drivers are hopeless argument doesn’t really stand up to scrutiny. We’ve all seen black cabs do ridiculous things on the roads aswell and the only folk that ever seem to put that argument forward are taxi drivers. Are you a taxi driver by any chance?

Apologies, I thought that’s what you were alluding to. I’ve interpreted your post wrong in that case :aok:

Yes I am and proud of it, 30 years now and never once have I driven up Forest Rd the wrong way, turned right from Lothian Rd onto the west approach on the wrong side onto oncoming traffic. Nor have I went onto the bypass on the wrong slip road into oncoming traffic and had to reverse back up the slip road. But on you go if you meant to save that couple of quid.

I now see why Blackpoolhibs has a go at you all the time, once you get something in your teeth you go on and on until you think you're right.

I do not see why a cabbie would no more on whats open or closed than an uber driver if both in same city and driving about all day. I understand a cabbie is totally free to pick a route and if I am right Uber tells the driver the route? If the latter is right and say Uber driver knows a road is closed but app telling them ok are they able to decide to go different route?

It's up to all drivers to check on the council site what's open and whats not, my point was that nearly all Uber go by the satnav

Technically. But the point he's making is that it may as well just be considered a vegetable.

Like a Dyson vacuum is considered a hoover, cheap sticky tape is sellotape, and a beep beep/Uber is a taxi.
