MarkL Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 4. that work at the airport are miserable, mean, stroppy and when i have had the mis fortune to get an airport taxi home , well after being graciously dumped at my house......... I tend to forget to tip I remember coming home from the Scotland v Spain game in Valencia a few years ago. The game was on a Friday night so we decided to stay on a bit and come back on the Wednesday. Scotland were playing at Hampden in a qualifier that night. As we got off the plane we jumped an airport taxi to the ground (not a bad fare I would have though?) the prick refused to take us until his superviser told him too, plus kept trying to drop us off in the City Centre. He wanted "real tourists" he told us Loch Lomond?......aye that will be £80! We forgot to tip that night too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reidy1987 Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 It's easy. Don't use the airport taxis. When you've collected your baggage and cleared customs, phone one of the privater companies and wait in front of the Holiday Inn. You won't wait more than 5 minutes and it's cheaper too. Who knows, you might even get HSS. Or Taxi Saint. Or even Shull Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pisses him off so much he forgets to take his hand off his horn alerting the nearest traffic warden to the illeagally parked cars/taxi's Edited February 6, 2007 by Charlie the Charolais Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chingford Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Arriving at the airport, when I'm no hiring a wee Arnold Clark number, I just jump on a bus. Economic banter with the friendly driver of a wee happy bus; choice of a large range of seats; scenic tour of developing Gockston; past Stadia del Amore; the Petit BarL; the shiny welcoming delights of the Piazza; the Causeyside Street experience; then get dropped at Stowe Brae/Canal St Station. What could be better - other than a bus going from the airport to the RAH, which drops off at Lady Lane!? And all for a few pennies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And just before they think I mean Elderslie or Glasgow, I add "Paisley". I gotta work with the public, it's one of the few times I get to put the shoe in! Dunno why they bleat, if they get a local hire they get bumped back to the top of the queue when they return to the airport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Svensen Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 You should just start saying "Inverness, pal" then when you get to the roundabout "nah mate just make it Paisley" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSS Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 A good few years ago a mate got in an Airport taxi and said "Campbelton" paused for a second and added "and Islay at the top of Well St please Driver". Seemingly the Driver never thought it funny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
