Your right I was mislead by someone regarding Dragon's rates. However, I think some of the fans would rather shy away from a taxi company with the name Dragon after all the fuss about replacing the Bluebird with a Dragon.

Anyone ever thought of stating your prefered route prior to starting the journey rather than moaning about it after?

this thread is sadly predictable - the OP is daft.

We've all had duff taxi experiences - biggest rip off I ever had was a white Bristolian taxi driver, in Bristol. Doesn't mean all white Bristolian taxi drivers are crooks, does it?

Best trip home I had in a cab from Cardiff was one of our friends in the whole Asian get up - turns out he was a City man through and through, agreed the fare to Ystrad and was dead helpful to all of us, though we were all half cut etc.and his English was partial at best.

People are people, including cab drivers. Get over it.

To be fair I agree that the Asian taxi drivers are a problem. Refusing to take single women home from taxi ranks on an international day because they want fares further afield, refusing to take me home because of the area I used to live. However, if you want a specific route, just ask for it.

I am born and bred Cardiff - and whilst I live in the Rhymney Valley currently, I do spend a lot of time in Cardiff. As for recent years, it is indeed a FACT that I have taken many taxis in the Cardiff area.

if you don't like asian taxi drivers as a rule you should probably have a good look at yourself
