Tom, when I used the word "Taxi" drivers, I was using the word colloquially, thus of course including Private Hire drivers in my statement.
Do you reckon Dusty is a Licensing Officer then?
When I gave up particle beam physics to become a cabby, I had nearly discovered a safe form of nuclear fission, and only became a cabby because I thought that I could make a fortune by converting an FX4 to run on waste nuclear fuel rods. I was going to use Tritium injection triple overhead cam on spent uranium rather than common or garden derv, with intercooled strontium 90 fuel-cell depleted hydrogen recovery, and Volvo's aftercooling system to get rid of the high rad content cooling water as it kept springing a leak in the radiator.
Unfortunately, I couldn't get a Hackney plate on it, as the turning circle of my patent warp-drive 4-wheel Kort Nozzle steering, was 26 feet.
Now, If I had known Dusty Bin then, he would have told me that:according to Section 6, sub para bii, of article seven of the Washington Treaty on Private Hire and Taxi Construction and as ammended in the 1976 act, sub para B seven, I could not use a nuclear power unit in a Hackney Carriage. And I would have saved twenty years of development.
