I love when Americans come here, you can spot them a mile off....
But today I was chuckling
No you can't stop any taxi (private hire, not the black ones) and they will not stop for you, we ain't in New York.
And when you see a black taxi, it can't not fly over 2 lanes to get too you, and you trying to run across the main road in town at 4pm, won't make the taxi come too you.... Though your parents just stood on the side walk on the other side of the road on the corner... It still can't fly if you did grab it....
Made my day
