Featured on BBC Watchdog" this evening, Limobroker.co.uk for their rather dodgy operations and sales tactics. The usual watchdog stories of people let down, limos not turning up as booked for weddings and the like, undercover reporter working in their call centre...

Nothing at all about whether any of the operators they use are licenced or indeed insured!

It'll be on iPlayer later on, about 40 minutes into the show.

I used to be an agent for limobroker. One job they sent me on was in our pink limo. The customer sent me away because she had booked a red fire engine. However most of the jobs that we did for them went off without a hitch but I do know of many horror stories, particulaly of unlicensed operators.

I watched the programme today.

And nothing I saw surprised me one little bit.

And that also wouldn't surprise me one little bit.
