After a great deal of foreign yelling going on inside the dark building, we end up with not only a new driver, but another passenger, who was clearly another unhappy cousin.. We agreed, that if we got there alive, not to tip him. <br /><br />Man, those black cabs are sweet. <br /><br />Sir D ( the Subways are okay to ) of LondonfordshireAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3515218627607939514.post-88411774813271470452009-05-31T09:58:26.366-05:002009-05-31T09:58:26.366-05:00"Arcane rules that produce a quality result!" I l..."Arcane rules that produce a quality result!" I love it! Only a Brit can pull that one off! So true...and yet so effective.<br /><br />I can't wait to plant my arse again in a black cab come July! London was my first major city to take a Taxi back in 1979. Imagine my disappointment when I got in a taxi back in the States!<br /><br />The Knowledge is indeed impressive. In contrast, get in a cab in New York. It's a crap shoot...literally.<br /><br />My last, and final, Taxi ride in New York was with a first day Iraqi who couldn't speak English and didn't know how to get me from Manhattan to Laguardia airport! Something this country boy from Indiana knew how to do. Of course he wouldn't listen to me, or probably couldn't understand me, and the result, we ended up lost in Queens and got caught in the middle of a gun fight between the police and a car load of gun happy drug dealers in front of us. Since then I always prefer to take my chances on the subway.<br /><br />Shit like that doesn't happen in a London Black Cab!<br /><br />Sir Hook Who Only Takes a Taxi in London of WarrickdkWellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14036130304612683613noreply@blogger.com
