The answer is in the date :wink:

It is a real hashtag Artur, where the Black cab trade (no saloons) can promote the black cab trade !

Check it out, ive just started the hash tag so hopefully we black cabbers can by using social media get the message out there that black cabs are the publics best form of public transport especially over the saloon/ph brigade.

Twitter though is not like a forum, Facebook is a poor Twitter, Twitter is pro app social media site, nowhere to hide on Twitter :wink:

Give it a go though, tweet the hashtag given previously and lets get the backtheblackcab message out there.

When tweeting one must use the full hashtag an name at all times otherwise i wont get your tweet :D

You seem not be Twitter savvy artur ?

Using the hash tag with a word or small phrase, no spaces #backtheblackcab being the example brings together a gathering of tweets/comments based on the hash tagged word or small phrase.

If you say have in 140 characters a taxi funny or experience you would like to share with a wider audience you would include your chosen hash tagged word or small phrase, your comment would now be seen by all who use that hash tag, beware though others who view your comment may decide to RTweet your comment.

This is how we spread the back the black cab message by re tweeting interesting facts about the black cab, if enough cabbies get involved by using the #backtheblackcab we can Trend the hash tag and create awareness of our trade.

Hope you get this one artur, Daly :D updates keep the hash tag going so feel free to check it out, no saloon crap though, just black cab facts, photos, funny s or experiences !!! All black cabbies welcome :D

Ah with you now Private Reggie. Not a bad idea to get people to tweet funny stories. I'm sure the Shuffler will get a mention. I thought you were meaning to generate business.

Awareness is the game, the iconicness of the black cab should be collectively promoted :D

Yep you're right.

Also think if we each done our bit, you know....smile, open the door, help with luggage if needed, don't bore the customer with fuel prices or private hire and we'll retain business.
