so if you were in the back of a taxi and wanted to change destination you would say:
taxi driver change of plans i want to go to blahblahblah. |
|
By:
You'd probably say "oi mate/excuse me, change of plans i want to go to blahblahblah."
What do you call a Taxi Driver btw? |
|
By:

ask one of the cabbies on the rank in this part of essex |

Up in Cumbria we call them "Sir", just in case
|
|
By:
I always associate cabbies with private hire vehicles rather than Taxis
Since they (minicab drivers) almost never speak fluent English, you can call them anything you want. |

i always start with, "shouldn't you have gone left / right there?" to get the banter going in a black cab, before any formalities are exchanged.
but in a mini cab, i like to ask him to remove his hand from my leg before addressing him formally. |

By:
I like to chat about what weapons they keep in the cab for self defence purposes.
One kept some lead piping under the driver's mat. I called him Colonel. (Mustard) |
