None of us having an ethical problem with Ubering then?


I've delegated my ethical judgement on this one to TfL, on the basis that if Uber flouts minimum wage or safety standards then they will lose their licence. Willing to hear arguments against using them though.


Apparently their CEO just got rated one star by the driver he had a row with :D

You get an option to rate on your receipt, KK if the journey is 'completed'


You get a 5 when you first sign up (before you take any trip) according to my driver the other night - and he, at least, uses the rating to decide whether to accept a job. They don't get to know where the ride is going but they do get the rating of the person requesting the ride. He mentioned that he never accepts anyone below a 4 and marks people down for eating/drinking in his (admittedly v clean) car.

    • The younger (and some older) people have taken an unused unloved space and made it their own. Where do we think young people should go? I was involved in a campaign with a group of younger people a few years ago to get a skate park built. I was so shocked by the backlash and nastiness from a vocal 'adult' few. The young people themselves said that they are told they shouldn't spend all their time on screens and yet when they come together and do something that is physical that involves socialising and positive connection they get slated for it. The skating community is so welcoming and supportive. Come on people - see the bigger picture and the positives. They've made a good place to be out of nothing - they are recycling and building and being creative and social and entrepreneurial. I suggest we reflect on what the real issue is here. Have a look at this -   
    • A beer in the garden would have been nice, I'm sure! Mine was a meal inside. I don't remember much about it except that it was horrible.
    • Went to the Harvester a couple of times to have a beer in the garden, it was quite popular and had a 'certain' charm. 
    • I never went in The Grove when it was a pub, but I had a meal there once when it was a Harvester (I used to occasionally be a Mystery Shopper, and I was persuaded to go and have this meal because it was a bank holiday and they couldn't find anyone else to do it.) It was truly horrible. At least I got paid for eating it, albeit not very much, but I think I would have paid not to have to eat it. If it becomes an "affordable" restaurant again, I hope at least it has decent food. Why do "these youngsters" need "adult help" to be enterprising? They aren't six year olds!
