Being able to give reasonable answers, and good and reliable information is the difference between a GOOD CABBY and a BAD ONE , and a GOOD TIP && NO TIP !!!!

I just wanted to say a BIG THANK YOU for the excellent work you do and the commitment you show in making our journeys easier.I’m the parent of four special needs children and have the pleasure of using your cabs on a regular basis. My family have been lucky enough to attend the Xmas party you provide every year[ for the first time this year] it was fantastic, I understand that you also organize day trips as well, you are amazing!! so thank you all so much, many families benefit from your kindness.there is something I would like to bring to your attention.Is there a possibility that who ever organizes these events please consider that the phrase ‘under privileged children’ as being very offensive.On the goodie bag as we were leaving was written these words.As parents we do not see our children as being different or even under privileged, quite the opposite actually, we live in an amazing country there is NO ONE that is under privileged unless they are being oppressed starved or abused and my kids do not fit that description.So I hope you are not offended by what I am saying here, I would just like this to be changed if possible, is it?

I took great care to have my services done at the main dealears at the correct intervils for the obvious reasons.picked the cab up at 4.30pm after its 130,000 miles service,less than 12 hours later the engine has pseezed, what does that mean i asked the reply was £5,000 please, so for what its worth i would say to anyone thinking of buying a tx4 THINK THINK THINK AND THINK most folk learn from there mistakes but it is a wise man that Learns from other peoples mistake THINK ABOUT IT
