Hi all, I have some sad news for you that have been in the trade for some time. I received some news today that Alan Foster from Wigan sadly died on the 27th of January. Alan along with Peter Baily were instrumental in setting up one of the first online forums for Taxi drivers back in 2001-2002. Me Alan, Peter and Mick Pollard used to meet up every 3 months for a catch-up. No doubt Mick will be ragging Alan about up there. RIP Alan fly high pal.
