A similar example is say you get in a Taxi and the driver moves off, you say
where you want to go and the driver says, North Side Taxis dont go Sounth of
the river I'll take you back to the Taxi Rank and you can get a All London
Taxi mate. Would you pay their standard £10 minimum hire charge?

That's not too good an example, as there is no such thing as a "north
side taxi". A London taxi is a London taxi, and they should take any
fare within the Greater London boundary.

However, this is a known problem that has existed for many years, and
it should be reported when it occurs. Though the above example
shouldn't occur as in London it's more conventional IMX to state your
destination to the driver through the window before getting in.
