Taxi firm celebrates golden anniversary Southport's oldest radio taxi firm is taking a step back in time to mark its 50th anniversary. Yellow Top has paid for one of its fleet to be re-sprayed in the colours the cars originally sported in the 1950s. Owner John Whiteside says he hopes other drivers, who privately own their cabs, may follow suit and have their bonnet, roof and boot painted light yellow. “The car has been out a couple of days and we have had a few comments already. We thought it would bring back a bit of nostalgia,” John said. “The firm started in 1959 with seven cabs and quickly grew to 14. Now we have around 50. The office started out on Hoghton Street, then moved to Lord Street and in 1985 we moved to where we are now on Sussex Road.” Masters Vehicle Body Repairs on Hart Street said they were happy to have been chosen for the job. Yellow Top also held a celebratory dinner at the Floral Hall for past and present staff and drivers to mark their anniversary. |

Don't think folks need to worry about getting killed in a mad rush.

Obviously the use of the word 'entertainment' was quite loose within that sentence
