Cowfold Seagull
Fan of the 17 bus
Just back from a weekend in the smoke. Had the need to take several journeys by black cab whilst l was there, and almost to a man, every cab driver was a surly so and so, all saying as little as possible, and some were outright rude.
In the past whenever travelling anywhere by taxi the driver, having had to complete "the knowledge", would know exactly where every address was, now however that doesn't seem to be the case, with a couple telling me to hail another cab, because l've no idea where that is.
Sadly after many years away standards seem to have seriously slipped. Hardly a great welcome for any foreign vistors on their first trip to London.
