I was told an interesting true story today, about an incident at the airport not uncommon, and the drivers attempt to prove his point.
It is a long story, so I'll cut it short.
POLICE
A driver after dropping off his passenger at the airport, ran into the toilet for a pee, and on return found a parking ticket attached to his windscreen.
To say he was dissapointed is an under statement.

CAMERA
Being a tad p*ssed off the driver had noticed on several occasions police cars parked outside the terminal in different locations whilst their dedicated parking bay was empty. " They must be illegaly parked " he thought, so he started to take photo's of these police vehicles. When he thought he had enough, he past them on tothe authorities asking the obvious question.

ACTION
The driver in question was called up to the cab office and told that these vehicles where on emergencies, and if he takes anymore photographs, he will be banned from the airport.

I asked the driver to approach the evening news about the incident, but he is reluctent to do so in case there are reprecussions.

40 photographs over one weekend, Thats 40 emergencies

your thoughts please

As for the issue, well it seems that most things at that airport stink, and this is no different.

leave the smelly airport to the hacks, the PH have plenty other work to keep them going, BTW off out to do a few contracts (the ones that the greedy moaning hacks used to have )

All these school runs, with so little sleep, thats a bit unsafe.

I bet you never slept a wink last night.

So much anger, jealousy, and built up rage.

You'll be brown bread by the time you've attained 40.

Jeez even fish with their 3 minute rolling memory don't bite the same hook as often as you, sussex where's the landing net ?

Anyone banned from the Airport can appeal to the courts, as was the case at Heathrow some years ago.

Telling his story to a newspaper reporter is unlikely to instigate a ban and the reporter could most likely obtain details of all emergencies on that particular weekend as all such emergencies are probably logged.

If the exercise of taking photos was meant to show a flagrant disregard by the police for Airport bylaws, then the cab driver has the perfect opportunity to highlight this in the press.

Thanks jd, I'll pass that on.

The drivers main concern is that it will not be him barred but the taxi he drives, thus effecting other drivers of that taxi

maybe a myth, but can hackney drivers not open the rear door to shield them and then relieve themselves in the street.
