Came across this. What a heap of garbage. Don't know what it's all about, and who it's aimed at. But looked professional enough, and it's a publication called Business Review. But the giveaway is maybe the publication's subtitle, which is 'Where Romania Talks Business' Maybe it's aimed at drivers coming to the UK to work, but a bit late for that now, presumably But apart from the obvious 'private hire taxi' clanger in the headline, some very odd stuff indeed. Some paragraphs on their own do make sense, but in the round the article is pretty bizarre. And some of it reads like it's aimed at passengers rather than drivers Below are just a couple of the odder paragraphs, and the errors should be obvious. And, for a start, the British Isles includes the Republic of Ireland, while elsewhere in the article the reference is to the UK, which excludes the ROI

Apart from the geographical clanger, I'd guess whoever wrote the piece is confusing and conflating 'taxi', 'private hire' and private motoring

In a room with 35 others at Bilston town hall taking the Wolvo PH 6hr course, the instructors 1st question was "so who here is taking the course to become a taxi driver?" half the class put their hands up (not me) |
