This keeps happening. They keep appealing. They continue to run while the case is being appealed.
Itâs just a shame their app doesnât offer âjust down the road, where Iâve just kicked that canâ as a destination.
I think Uber is great on the âbenefit to userâ front. I used the service extensively in North Carolina the last time I was there. It wasnât literally a life-saver, but I did get to drink more as a result and not have to carry a lot of cash about.
What I donât like is Uberâs business model, mostly because it is completely gratuitous. This is a fantastic fusion of technology that is going to make money regardless. While theyâll have local competitors everywhere, the fact that theyâre virtually global makes them a go-to choice.
I get fucked off at Apple for similar reasons. With their margins, they could fabricate all their kit in the US and make a healthy (17%) profit. They like their present margins.
As a âtaxi driverâ I should hate them. In Dubai they were so much better at finding your address than the local firms.
Here they are 40% of the cost when i need a late night trip home.
They are however bottom feeders, they made me step up my game.
I see their mistakes and they have been arrogant they need to understand professionalism
I use both Uber (Grab in Singapore) and normal cabs
I wouldnât touch Uber in London because half of them donât know where they are going and blindly follow their app up Oxford Street whereas a black cab might be more expensive but is more likely to get you there in a timely fashion
Grab in Singapore is simply brilliant - same concept as Uber but ruled with an iron fist by the Sg govt
I tend to useâŚ

The latest news is that Neil Shipperly is a flasher
He told police he âhad a problemâ.
No shit.
Sounds like Prestadigwitâs Congener to me.

Wtf
It was the hours.
The backbreaking hours.
EDIT: One of the benefits of being open to competing views is that you can always get the dirt from Master Staines.
And there was me thinking that a foehn was what Inspector Clouseau spoke on in his office.

Not entirely sure how I would discriminate against a vegan - who gives a shit what they choose to eat or wear
I think he brought the whole thing because he was sacked from a job with the League Against Cruel SportsâŚso heâs trying to claim he was discriminated against because heâs an âEthicalâ VeganâŚ
The case was brought by vegan Jordi Casamitjana, who claims he was sacked by the League Against Cruel Sports because of his ethical veganism.
But his employer says he was dismissed for gross misconduct.
The judge ruled ethical veganism should fall under the Equality Act 2010 but is yet to rule on Mr Casamitjanaâs dismissal.
Mr Casamitjana says he was sacked by the League Against Cruel Sports after disclosing it invested pension funds in firms involved in animal testing.
He claims when he drew his bossesâ attention to the pension fund investments, they did nothing so he informed colleagues and was sacked as a result.
So he breached confidence, not because of any wrong doing on the part of the employer but because of his own beliefs.
That doesnât sound like discrimination to me
I donât think youâre alone in that thinkingâŚ
Could be interesting if telling colleagues is a breach of confidence. I am not saying that canât happen, but it would be very specific to the situation and his contract terms.
Vegan here. 
I would think that the League Against Cruel Sports probably should think about itâs pension pot and not invest in firms that test on animals. Seems like a sensible and ethical thing to do given their stance.
Arenât people allowed to know where their pension funds are? I know many arenât ethical (probably mine too but Iâd like it to be).
Iâm not really sure about this coming under the Equality Act and how that would work. But if my wonky eyes donât get me under it then maybe my Veganism will.
If itâs a Employment Tribunal I think we may be able to view it on line and may give more detail than some headline.
Anyway Iâm off to plan my strop at work that I cannot possibly sit next to someone eating boiled eggs each day due to my ethical veganism. Finally I can get all of the women on fad diets out of the office. (Yeah I know the irony eh?).

I would say it depends upon his position - imagine a payroll clerk getting free and easy with whoâs paid what
