Its a South City thing Rodent you wouldnt understand but its a total pain if you are traveling down the canal for Renalagh .You use to go right  left  right  but now you have to go left,left right through the lights past Roddies then left round the Chapel down to the lights left righ left .I hope its not a question on the test .Or alternatly you could continue on down the canal past the no turn turn for Renalagh and just under the Luas bridge there is a small laneway turn right ,right  then left  onto Renalagh .Hope this helps or an alternative to the alternative you could turn off the canal at Rathmines go left ,right at the bleeding Horse right at the luas line sharp left and straight up to Renalagh .

I was over in Ballyfermot last evening... mytaxi fare from Darndale... had that lost connection problem again... didn't get back on line until I was on one of the North Quays... then the passenger cancelled box popped up... fortunately it was a cash job so the cancellation saved me €4.20 in freight... compensates for that no contact they refused to pay me the year before last, I guess.

For some one who hasn't a command of English, Spanish must be baffling. 8)

Spanish taxi drivers don't use uber, and they're better organised that the Micks.

No, the Uber drivers have hackney licences and they usually speak English... putting your destination in when you order eliminates the potential for your desired destination to get lost in translation, in any event, and the price is agreed in advance so they don't need to go round the 'ouses as our Jewish friends might say.
