Disagree on that one, love pineapple on pizza. Hot dog pizza crust on the other hand...

You may love it and that is your right. However, apparently people love Hearts and they are every bit as wrong

Sultanas, pineapples or bananas in a curry. In short, fruit in savoury meals. It's just not right!

I agree in general but I must say that bananas dipped lemon juice then smothered in coconut as nice with a really hot curry.

You Scousers have no culture. Seriously, it's a classic curry accompaniment.

Indeed. A morally abhorrent practice.

That's exactly what I thought.

I've been out for a lot of curries. Not once have I been asked if I'd like a banana, lemon juice and coconut on the side.

Headphones that leak noise, no excuse for it in this day and age.

Guy across from me on the bus has ACDC blaring out. It must be close to deafening him because I can hear every word.

Charities to whom you already pay a monthly donation, sending letters and phoning constantly asking for you to increase your donation. Just makes me want to cancel it altogether.

People who pay by credit card in the taxi. Do these people realise that it takes up to a month for me to get paid for these jobs? No where in the world would a business man be made to wait that length of time.

If you offer the facility then you can hardly complain. Or are you governed by your operator?

I get paid once a month, it's fairly common - think everyone at my work is the same. Same with the last place I worked as well, and the one before that.

Checked with the Mrs, she has to wait a month to get paid for her with as well.

I reckon less than half our clients pay within a month of us invoicing them.

People should take this in the sprit that's it's intended as this isn't a "serious" thread. Of course cab drivers welcome payment in any form and happily to boot...but one month is one hell of a wait. That's a huge contrast to the instant payment that you receive with cash.

One of the black cabs main competitors, Uber, tries to hammer home a laughable message that they are new technology while blacks are old school and inferior. I try to encourage credit card use as contactless payment is as easy as PayPal and every "modern" transaction helps to cut through their lies and slowly make people realise that the only "old tech" in a black cab is the compulsory capping of fares so you don't get ripped off.

You're correct and I generally don't mind, but on Thursday I was working and it was after 21:00 before I got a cash job. I'd payed out £10.80 in airport fees and guy handed me a £50 note for a fare that was under £10. I had to go to the bank to get some money out . City cabs have brought in a new system for their app, where you can store your card details so you don't have to have your card with you when you get a taxi. This is a good idea, but the problem is that city cabs take so long to pay the money to me. If I get one of these jobs at the start of the month, I don't get paid until the 20th of the next month. I didn't even have enough to put an accumulator on the football on Thursday, it ruined my night .

Why are you going near the airport during the festival? :

That's a great feature for the app and to the customer, it puts you on a technological par with the cockroaches that use PayPal. That months wait is a bugger though but it might just have to be a necessary evil that will be made up by more reliable customers that like the app and way of paying.

Cash is king but at least you're getting it mate.
