He's good at waffle.

Here's another question John. How many real licensed taxi drivers have stopped driving taxis to work for Griffin? And I'm not talking about 3 blokes who sit in despatch. I only see a one way flow.

An ageing taxi driver population? We're all ageing unless Griffins found a magic formula to rejuvenate his drivers? The truth is you have a massive turnover of staff. 10 years? Oh please, that's just warming up in a career. How many? 30? 40?
There's as many people on the K as there ever has been, sadly more and more from your industry bringing their third world values with them, but I live in hope the process kicks them into touch before they destroy our trade.

As for driving standards, the majority of AL drivers learned to drive in foreign countries, countries such as pakistan and somalia whose standards fall way below the uk requirements. There's hardly a day goes by where I'm not faced by one of your cars coming the wrong way down a one way street, going the wrong way at a keep left, or driving like a [edited by admin] to the next 50% job.

I'm always on time wherever I am, I have no need to rush to punters as they stop me or walk to the rank.

Have a look at the mentions on the AL twitter feed, they say far more than I can, and that's from ALs customers.

Diploma anyone? =D>

It would seem unlikely that there are any. But there are several employed elsewhere.

It seems unlikely if you read the blog and even more unlikely if you read today's post - http://cab4now.com/addison-lee-2014.
