Default What's it(!) with Uber?
"tim....." wrote

hackneys in the vicinity of railway stations very close to licencing
boundaries.

London cabs' operational area is not limited by the outer boundary of
"Greater London".

At least, not unless the boundaries of "Greater London" have become
reconciled with those of the Metropolitan Police District.

happened in 2000

Thus confusing all those reading Dick Francis novels in which the jockey
hero takes a London cab to Sandown Park (was in the MPD, now in Surrey for
everything to include taxis and police).
