Why do cabbies at Paddington look so disgusted when I ask to go to Lords and then sulk for the whole journey?

And should I report Licence 84*3* to the PCO forspending five minutes of the journey talking on his hand held mobile phone?

Are you sure you're right, as they are the 'best in the world'? :^o

Well busier than the rest of you, and I guess at the end of the day, that's the important bit. :wink:

If anyone out there fancies doing the tests we have to complete, be my guest. Then again you might also join the 50% of drivers who fail it? I guess we will never know . . . . .

I have no idea Mr Thumb.
You don't seem to have much luck when you take Taxi's from Paddington. Perhap's the driver was having a bad day? Perhap's he's had a dodgy sandwich and was'nt feeling to well? Maybe he does'nt like Cricket?

Who knows? :?

If he's daft enough to use a mobile, then he'll get caught one day, just like the millions of others who do so on a daily basis.

I had some family visiting from the USA earlier this year, we spent the day in london sight seeing and we got a total of 5 taxi's during the day.
Everyone was polite and knew exactly where he was going.
Swings and roundabouts I suppose.
