The 35-year-old said: "It's very disappointing the way we've been treated because they have been very rude and didn't seem to care we were losing out on business. "I had six drivers just sat there because no one could ring us. "We're normally inundated with calls for fares to work. "We probably have 50 to 80 regular customers who would have called for a taxi. "It was raining cats and dogs so we might have missed out on even more. "It's the first time we've had a power cut and I really hope we don't have any more.""
