Hi, I would like to say I have been using Avenue Taxis since I live in Ipswich (5 years), and even though it was always more expensive than the competitors, they were friendly, always on time, and very helpful.
Today, I asked for a Taxi at 12:50, I had an appointment at 13:00. The Taxi driver was 4 minutes late, and when he called me I told him "I am here, next to {{a shop}. You're late". He drives down the street, stops next to me with the window open, and tells me "You are rude, I won't take you" and drives on not even giving me a chance to say anything. I lost my appoiment, and had to call

Turned up AT LEAST 15 MINUTES LATE (got text saying taxi was en route 15 mins after it was supposed to have arrived), despite knowing I had to catch a specific train (they even asked for the train departure time) and giving them their required 30 minute allowance for delays etc. Was told traffic was bad because of a football match. So?! They should be there at the time I ordered it, not any time after that at their choosing which they didn't seem to understand! Had to make last minute alternative arrangements - and clearly told them this (so don't start accusing me of holding up your service and
