Taxi Driver Online

From 1st June 2013, all drivers working the taxi rank at Birmingham Airport now have to wear full uniform.

Black trousers, black socks, white shirt with top button fastened, clip-on [only] dark navy tie covering the shirt top button [stops the chest and belly tie versions], black shoes, black v-neck jumper or gilet, black jacket [optional] black coat [optional].

Eat your heart out Captain!

Well I suppose people coming from other countries getting into taxis out the airport and getting a smartly dressed driver will give a good first impression but a bit over the top if you ask me

About time - who the hell wants to be picked up by some scruffy cabbie in a pair of camo shorts - trainers - and Newcastle united shirt

And I thought I was the above, we should start a helpline for Cabbies who want to commit suicide, @ £1.50 a minute we'll make a fortune.

One call to either of you 2 would be all it takes to finish them off. So I doubt that there will be a fortune to be made.

Dont forget get a good steam iron

Ermmm you do have a valid point.

If you want creases in your clothes you need the iron I've got, one of these bad boys, @ £200 a time they are the bollox when it comes to ironing. Just one blast of steam and the creases stay in for week even after they've been washed.

Get off a plane at Malaga, Barcelona or Madrid and they are well dressed, in trousers and neat shirts, at BHX all i see are PJ's and beards....

Of all the things ive lost, i miss my mind the most

I thought that the taxi drivers at BHX have had to be smartly dressed since the current contract was won a couple of years ago.

Grandad,

What a load of bollox,you can still be a dirty,scruffy cant in trousers and shirt.What next are they gonna check see if youve washed properly ? The scruffiest taxi driver i know allways has shirt and trousers on(although there the same pair all year !)
