Shopping centres are hard work, to be fair... lot's of lifting/carrying/walking and no luggage fee anymore. On the plus side plenty of exercise for the older drivers, I guess... and untraceable used notes for those who fiddle their taxes.
If it doesn't have a roof sign and door stickers it's not a taxi.

Story goes the bookies beside the Omni rank was giving out free coffee and biscuits to their customers but they had to stop after a week because the taxi drivers were eating and drinking everything!

The same reason KFC is gone.

That KFC grub isn't cheap. Tried it in Finglas a while back 'cos the drive through queue for MCDonalds was too long... similar amount of grub cost almost twice as much.

... and I've transported boxes of chicken for them between restaurants on a couple of occasions... once from Northside SC all the way over to Stepaside... needless to say I have no training in handling food and my boot is not refrigerated.

Speaking of numbers, 60***+ don’t seem to be searchable on the database

Fully fixed now i.e. database includes plate owner details for active plates including those numbered 60,000+

You're welcome!
