    Hi rang my usual taxi company and taxi arrived and when I walked towards the taxi driving started shouting at me to come on and had no taxi plate up and was just very rude asking why wouldn't I chat to him and when I replied I just wasn't in the mood he replied "oh la dI da" should I complain him

    Sounds like a dick. Next time you call, make sure to ask for anyone but that guy.

    Does he need a plate? He was booked through a cab company so could be a hackney.

    Sounds like a dick, as said already - next time you ring that company explain why you don't want him to be sent out to you.

    I didn't think hackneys were still a thing. Thought all needed plates and stickers. Shows you what I know.

    Depends on what the OP means by a 'plate', he may be referring to a taxi roof sign which a hackney would not have.

    Hackneys are very much still around. In London a taxi is the classic black cab and a hackney is a regular car. In Dublin a taxi is any small PSV with a roof sign, hackneys are mainly 'limo' cars so you're talking Merc 'E' class and the like.

    I'd have stood there, whipped out the ol smart phone, hailo'd another cab, got in it, phoned the regular crowd and told them what I'd done and why I'd done it.

    If you stop using a company over one mistake you never give them an opportunity to provide service to make up for the short comings. While a the level of basic service for everyone should be good, loyal customers should always get a bit extra.
