One of the local undertakers has  a Montego based hearse. That would make for life's final indignity. Or death's first.
Remind not to shuffle off in the Medway area :o

Al - maybe also consider credit/ debit card. I use taxis quite a lot and the convenience for me is enabling the trusted taxi firm with my company credit card details so that once fee is agreed they just invoice me and take money from account. I have done this for years which means they drop me and pick me up without having to mess with payment at any stage. They just email me the invoice and card fee and that is what appears on statement. Clearly trust on both sides.

This firm does loads of business from cruise ships because he has his services on internet and bookings paid in advance on card. He often has to farm out to others as he cannot handle volume but again he has "trusted" back up.

He has overslept twice on early morning stuff and if he does gives me a free journey to Heathrow. I am usually very early however so slippage is built in.

Trouble is several of my trips involve leaving Sandhurst at 4.45 am or coming back from airport at 9.30 pm. Good luck with it. al.

If you pm me your details I may need  a Gatwick to Sandhurst on Thursday night but a) I am on Easyjet so arrival time maybe suspect and b) not due to land until around 9.30 pm.

Appreciate it is well before 7th Feb.

Al would have my highest recommendation!
A last minute trip to Bath/Somerset was accomodated with no fuss, and a very pleasant journey it was  :y

Should have the ability to take card payments from most cards in place by the end of the month. :y

I should add, this will be an in car facility, rather than a prepay one, but is chip and pin, so no security issues :y

I'll certainly bear you in mind next time I'm off on business via Gatwick. Nothing on the cards currently, though. :y

Ditto, although I usually fly out of LHR which is probably a bit out of your way for such a short hop :)

Which reminds me to start looking at flight prices for next months trip to Tel Aviv..

Just to update...

I now have the facility to take card payments for invoice payments and prepayments. The in car 'Chip and Pin' system should be up and running by the end of the month :y
