Came across this really cool blog today. It’s the diary of a London Cabbie called The Cabbie’s Capital.
It’s a cracking good read.
He recently did a post about his 10 favorite cabbie moments in the last few months as here’s #10:
10 – Cab as changing room. Nice young lady hails me on Piccadilly and needs to get to Covent Garden pronto. Dressed in nice smart business suit carrying briefcase and holdall. I concentrate on getting her there when all of a sudden I can’t see her in the rear view mirror. What the? I then notice that she is lying on the floor of the cab trying to fit herself into some pretty tight jeans. Concentrate on the road cabbie, concentrate. 2 minutes later we reach her destination, she gives me a decent tip looking very glam and, I’ve just noticed, wearing a completely different top. When did she do that? Gutted, a nice old couple hail me and I take them to Victoria. Did that just happen?
He provides an exciting peek into the life of a cabbie. It’s been said that one of the best things about London are the cab drivers. They’re honest, reliable and most of all, nice to annoying Americans.
