Lloyd Fernandez

Lloyd offers a service called Birds and Breakfast as described in my book. Some of his customers have contacted me to say that, contrary to what is said in my book, his service is not more expensive than that of other taxi drivers. My information was based on what I was told by one of his other clients but I apologise if it was incorrect.
