strikes again. Trying to take bribes off taxi drivers. I've spoken to the manager about him, as we both went outside to confront him, he ran off. Not on!
BREAKING NEWS: Acid Abdul (Abdul Ezedi, the acid attacker) has been caught and arrested by the Metropolitan police. He was caught doing 23mph in a 20 on Vauxhall Bridge Road.
Mad to think that when my Grandma was alive, she smoked like a trooper, drank like a fish and lived through the great smog of London in 1952. She died at the grand age of 87. But Hugo in Haggerston claims a euro 5 diesel is "killing children"
On Friday 28th January, I will be handing my cab back to the garage & will be having a couple of weeks off to spend time with my first new born son who could potentially be here on the 31st. To say I'm excited is an understatement.
I'm please to announce the new arrival of my newborn Son, Stanley. Born on 7/2/22 weighing at 8Ib7oz. We've been home for a couple days now, mother and baby are doing fine. The best of day of my life ♥️
My cat sadly passed away today. She lived a good age of up to 19. I don't care what anyone says, dogs & cats are always part of the family and when they sadly go, it's heart breaking. 😪
Cabbie conspiracy No.567
Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine to bump up oil prices in order to force london cab drivers to ditch their diesel cabs and make the move to rent an electric taxi from ColtsCabs.
Just got a cab from Tooley St to Cabvision to pick up a cab, driver and I got talking and he waved the fare and wanted me to save it for my boy. Ernie, you're a legend 👊🏼 hope cabbie karma repays you handsomely.
Got red lined on 56's when I was on appearances because I was slacking. Mr. Shaw said to me to go home and think whether I want to do it or not. The red line is there for a reason imo. You either want to be a taxi driver or not.
Fun fact of the day.
Did you know, cab drivers usually spend 40 hours a year waiting for someone to figure how to use the tip option on their card machines.
"This job is fucking shit, I only earned this much, the knowledge wasn't worth it!"
Next day,
"I've been non stop, I've been busy, I love this job, best job in the world!"
The London Taxi trade. Making drivers have personality disorders since 1634.
Mad to think a couple months ago I paid £300 to pay my regulator to renew my license to carrying doing my job, at the same time the regulator wants to appeal a decision in court to stop me from doing my job.
You could not make this stuff up.
I have to say..
It was quite satisfying to watch all the Uber scrimper customers having to get dropped off before Costco at Wembley, having to walk in the pissing down rain to the stadium, whilst I dropped off my customers RIGHT outside the stadium.
Will Norman & TfL have got absolutely ZERO chance of getting the Arabs to commit to "Active Travel". They would rather sit in the back of cab in gridlock traffic than walk 5 minutes 😂
In the wake of recent news of generousity of cabbies giving extra for rent due to up take in numbers. I have just got off the phone to GETT and asked them to up my commission to 45%.

@metpoliceuk
A massive thank you to 2 of your colleagues at Walworth Police station yesterday for helping me deal with a bilker. He refused to pay so he ended up doing time in a cell. 👍🏼👍🏼
Woke up in a good mood today 💪 Showered, dressed, badge on, cab keys at the ready. Today is the day I'm going to smash it 👊🏼 I'm going to go for it, full steam ahead.
Let's go and graft all day for £20 👊🏼
I'm planning to come to work on Monday. Am I allowed? Or will I be a burden to the "there's too many cabs out here" brigade. I don't want to upset the greedy ones.
A big thank you to Karen at the

for getting my Warning letter from TFL cancelled. All done and dusted within less than 24 hours.

There's a cab driver out there with a sign on his partition saying "There is absolutely nothing you can say or do that will interest me."
I need that sign.
Little boy getting all excited in the back with his mum and dad "I'm in a taxi, mum a london taxi, ahhhhh"
It was nice to see 😊 but I'm driving a vito, god knows what he would be like in a txe/tx4 🤣🤣
Just come back from Portsmouth(Not a job) and put some diesel back in the tank. I just walked in and gave the cashier an extra £50. No reason... just feeling generous.
#upintakings
Want to come see what work levels are like? Don't want to pay rent?
Well phone up LEVC and say you're interested in buying a TXE, they will give you one on test for 2 days, free.
Thank me later.
I will be voting for Mayor Khan tomorrow. He has done alot for our trade and is always putting us first. This trade will thrive in the future if he is elected back in and i have absolutely no idea what I'm talking about...
