Telegraph troubles
I made my first round trip to Blackpool today. Safely back home - though will be making another two hour trip up tomorrow afternoon.
I bumped into a pal who know works on the Telegraph who happened to pass on some advice about getting a taxi.
Apparently during Lib Dem conference he had tried for ages to get a taxi at 2:00am to take him back to his hotel. After finally succeeding he asked the driver why so many taxis for hire passed him by. The taxi driver replied - oh you'd have no problem if you were on a stag or hen weekend. They are always friendly and are that drunk they tp well. You on the otherhand look like a local - and they moan like hell about the prices!
So if you want a taxi in Blackpool it seems like you may have to wear a bright coloured wig, a kiss me quick hat or even worse and you'll have no problem!
