Firstly, hope you all have an excellent Xmas break and get up to all sorts of mischief under the mistletoe!
Now the serious bit! A friend who works as a street warden has informed me that a man purporting to be a private hire driver has been picking up guys from outside Queens Court and Fibre, then pulling off route and seriously assualting/raping them!
Please ensure that any cab you use is genuine (ask to see the drivers id badge if you are uncertain) and if you can, keep your phone handy when in the car so you can call for help if anything does start to happen.
Sorry to bring a downer on the holiday period like this, but for some reason West Yorkshire Police refuse to publisise this situation and both my friend and I would like to ensure that everybody stays safe! Please pass this message on to as many people as possible.
In all seriousness now tho, don't get in a pegasus taxi, think i mentioned it b4 at coffee hour a couple of months ago when i had trouble wi 1 of their drivers, if u wanna get home in 1 peice n 4 a decent price go wi Amber taxi's 01132311366 not had no problems wi them n spend alot of time in their taxi's (work pay 4 me 2 get 1 home at stupid o'clock cos they got an account wi them, their drivers r decent 2 - they wanna twat the tosser that's head of security at hotel, i fully agree wi them cos he's a prick)

Dont like city cabs, they rip ya off max amount it costs 2 get from train station/lower briggate to clarence dock is £4-5 dependin where u get it from, not £6-7 from the esso garage near base which city tried 2 charge me once n they wonder y people do a runner from their taxi's... i dont support the idea of runnin away from payin taxi fares cos its the guys jobs n earnings but when they r taking the **** with fares u gotta take the **** back, sheffield black cabs learnt it hard way (me n my chezzy lot got banned from all of them apart from 1 who dint rip us off n stuck it on meter 4 us everytime, he was a fantastic bloke, crazy as they come but still fantastic)
