any who uses silver top taxis to get arround melbourne had better be ready for a long wait.
just on the news that their head office - call centre - depot had been burnt to the ground. half of melbourne`s taxis with no way of contacting them except catching one at a taxi rank. familly bussiness for 5 generations . going to be a lot of people late for work in the morning.

The other cab companies must be LOVING the extra bookings/ phone calls etc
 Can just picture some indian call centre worker shouting "can you please be SHOWing ME THE MONEY" (ala tom cruise- jerry maguire) in some dodgy accent..!! ;) (( accidentally slightly racist )) |

No no, the cab's weren't destroyed. Just the call centre. Therefore, no dispatch work on the dispatch computer. Sucks to be driving for Silvertop yesterday.
