Can someone please tell me why the smartest drivers at Heathrow, are either PH or mini-cab drivers in nice suits driving nice new motors, often Mercs, and the scruffiest ones are driving old smokey black cabs wearing trackie bottoms or jeans?

Charles, You are a prince. What a silly generalisation to make.You are not Prof. Notso Bright's travelling companion by any chance? Keep up the laughs, Ged |

I am intentionally scruffy, to put off the thousands of women who would otherwise chase after me. And besides, the Juxtaposition of a scruffy driver into a prestigious taxi like I have, simply emphasises the quality that the customer is receiving. The phsycology is quite simple: Either they look at me, or they look at my cab. Then, when they get out, they give me extra quid or two, and say things like... "Here, get yourself a cup of tea" "Have a couple of pounds towards a haircut" "There's a fiver to buy some razor blades" Or, sometimes they ask... "Can I have sex with you while the meter is running on time and a half?" (Of course I always say no to this). But I don't care. It all helps towards the mortage on my Country House. |

I have kept out of this, cos everyone thinks I'm anti London. But Charles does have a point. When I pick up from Heathrow, the mini-cab and PH boys and girls are in the main very smart, whilst the lads in the black cabs aren't.
