Default What's it(!) with Uber?

In message , at 10:22:57 on Tue, 17 Jun
2014, Someone Somewhere remarked:
Chorleywood is, as per the charter for U.T.L., in the "London area", or
at least as Wikipedia says "It is part of the London commuter belt, and
included in the government-defined Greater London Urban Area.".


Which includes the area covered by TfL's tube lines.

However, the discussion seems to be entirely about pedantic points
regarding Cambridge, and South Cambridgeshire taxi/minicab/hackney
carriage licensing - something that does not relate to the "London
area" at all.

If some of the posts were making entirely general points about
licensing which may be applicable then fine, but I can't see a single
post which does not contain phraseology specific to Cambridge.


All the points being made are entirely general, and could just as easily
relate to a hackney from Three Rivers (which covers Chorleywood and
station) being hailed a hundreds yards west of the station, which is in
Chiltern District.
