Taxi Driver Online

Pretty unremarkable this, apart from the fact that it was late Sunday morning. And in view of the area I wouldn't be surprised if you-know-what was a factor

But, of course, one aspect of this is off-the-scale by normal standards

Only another 27 years in the trade for me till I get to that age

Hopefully I'll either be out long before that, or dead of natural causes. Which would save me killing myself to avoid driving a taxi well into my 80s


Taxi driver, 86, robbed and assaulted by customer near Perth city centre

The male passenger assaulted the driver and demanded money.

An 86-year-old taxi driver has been attacked and robbed in a car park near Perth city centre.

The driver dropped off a customer in the parking area outside the flats in Potterhill Gardens between 11.30am and noon on Sunday, September 10.

The male passenger assaulted the driver and demanded he hand over money.

Police Scotland is appealing for information following the assault and robbery.

Police Constable Hoskins said: “The taxi driver was left extremely shaken by this incident.

“Our enquiries are ongoing and we are keen to trace a member of the public who intervened in the incident.

“I would ask this member of the public or anyone else who has any information which could assist us to get in touch.”

Anyone with any information is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident 1747 of Sunday September 10.

I would hope the driver is doing the odd Sunday shift, but really he should be away from the trade now.

Sadly this attack by this cowardly thug might lead to him not coming back.
