Don't think he's ever caught a proper London black cab, he's talking about the good old mini scabs.

Clearly he has because if the foreigner is the ph vehicle the wildly overpriced one would be the London Taxi :wink:

Hmm so the behaviour of the people who were more than likely WHITE (oh bugger I just used the "W" word) who put the puke there in the first place........don't even get a mention. :roll: I guess that I will now get a visit from the PC police for using the "W" word :roll:. Lets be fair it is our sh!t society that allows this awful behaviour to be side stepped.

Puke stinks we all know that, it is not always easy to get rid of especially if it has gotten into cracks or crevices - Jeremy is a bit misguided on that one - if he really wants to make a difference; then pick on our degenerate mingers who spoil it for the rest.

If the car smells of puke, or other bodily fluids, it shouldn't be on the road. That is why there is a soiling charge. So that the vehicle can be taken out of service and cleaned properly.

You are right, however you miss my point................

I feel that the above should be addressed and not ignored/accepted.

99% of our vehicles are clean... and always driven by drivers who speak good English who are mainly from the UK, and we certainly know where we are going. I've never put £2 of derv in in my life ... Wish I could.

If Clarkson wants to use minicabs with drivers as he describes, that's his choice.

I'd say the telegraph Journos has got his wires crossed, but that's no surprise from a Tory rag who love to print anti London cab stories at every opportunity. :-|
