What we put up with

Every so often driving through London, you get kids throwing things. I’ve had eggs thrown at my cab, there have been times when drivers have had bricks thrown at their cabs, it happened once to a driver on Dial a cab, while driving through the Loughbourgh estate in Brixton.

It doesn’t matter where in London, it could be anywhere. The latest one was in the Grays inn road, kids throwing stones at passing cabs. Sometimes we get messages on our computer screen, warning us of these problems, so we know where not to go.

Driving home one night, down Whitechapel high road, I had to pull over to the offside lane, as I started to indicate and pull out, this car pulled up so fast, he forced me back, I shouted you f***ing idot, with that he got in front of me jammed on his brakes, hoping that I would go into his rear, lucky for me I didn’t.

Another time I was waiting at a red light, with a car on my left side, waiting to pull round into Lwr Grosvenor pl as we pulled away, he shouted something at me (god knows why)

I was doing my job and minding my own business, at this point I was in front of him, so I slowed down and shouted out of the window, what did you say to me, he shouted something back, which I didn’t understand, it was probably unpleasant,

before I could respond, he pulled in front of me, jammed on his brakes, two of four blokes aka dick heads got out, he said to me, you want to watch what you say. (Well I thought what a idiot, he clearly need’s to wash his ears out). He just got back in his car and drove off.

As I was driving round Cadogan square, I saw this notice pinned on the park railings, I thought what a bloody cheek, how can they say it’s only cab drivers who pee in the drain.

Before I go one last thing, on the east side of Berkeley square I saw this electric car, being charged.

It won’t be long before they start taxing him for the privilege.

 

Be lucky Steve.
