Close enough to know if Uber is operating there?

But the largest demonstration was in London, where even The Scotsman newspaper put the numbers at a quarter of a million.

If I recall correctly one of the slogans there, in a feminist section of the march, was 'My Mum doesn't like you, and she likes everybody'.


I know that the largest demonstration was in London. I chose to highlight Glasgow because that's where my roots are.

Yup. But in my view you would get a better service, more knowledgable drivers and be safer if you use a local firm whose profits go back into the local economy. I really like one firm, Glasgow Taxis, whose app can be downloaded here:

https://www.glasgowtaxis.co.uk

They arrive quickly, and really know how to get you around in the city at any time of day.

Oh, it's a nice place certainly. But I just wanted to reference the huge London turn-out.

I can't get an estimated fare from that website like I did others. :eek: I'll poke around some more and see what I can come up with.
