Stopped at a Tesco petrol garage in Barking. Huge queues, people waiting to pay. Card system is down and can only take cash. I’m the only one with cash on me so I’m paid and away. Imagine the carnage if we get a cashless society and the who system goes down. Can’t wait 🙄

Save our black cabs? 😂
How about WE save them|
Don’t broom
Get your card reader “fixed”
Don’t dress like a tramp
Don’t keep your cab like a shitcart
Use Google maps to avoid traffic
Use Twitter for other helpful info
Be polite to punters
Don’t bung DPs

It’s been allowed to go as far as it has because they know it keeps us divided & distracted. The perfect strategy that has been used for 100s of years.

Big shout out to doorman at 34 South Audley. Hails me, I wait 5 mins, punters come out and say they are gonna walk. They give him a tenner, I get nothing. I just smiled and went to drive off, but he hands me the tenner and says “you got 5, we’ll split it” 👍😎

Young punter in my cab, the kind who uses Uxxx. Telling me about her & her friend’s horror stories, thus why she won’t use them any more. This is what I’ve always said, don’t troll their customers on here, leave them alone, and they will realise on their own and come back to us.

So many PHV not knowing what lane to be in, and as such, are pushing in from filter lanes. They do not get in in front of me, and YOU should not be letting them in either. Seeing too many cabs let them in. Stop that!

Great thread. For me it was having to wear a mask to shop. For the first couple of months shop staff didn’t have to wear them, yet I saw the same staff every single time. Not one was ever off sick, despite being in close contact with 1000s daily.

Tom the cabby got a PCN for going straight across from Saville Row. Luckily he had a dashcam. This will get him off.

Won my Beech Street Tunnel on appeal at the adjudication and didn’t even attend. They said the time was tight, so if you ever drop, take your time. They added that my tone was threatening, and my accusations of “cheat” motorists is unsupported. F*CK right off. We all know.

We’ve lost a huge portion of our roads to cycle lanes that are hardly used. Now we’ve lost huge areas of pavements to e-bike dumped on the ground. How did we let this minority of road users get so much power? 🙄

I allow well dressed bloke to bring in his plastic cup with little bit of beer in. Pays at other end CC, legalled, gets out and I don’t see the cup in his hand. Once he’s indoors I go into the back and return the favour by throwing it into his garden.

FML, cabbies trolling Uxxx users. Yeah, that will win them back. I’ll tell you what, if a company I’d used had let me down, I’d tweeted about it, and a rival company trolled me, you can bet your arse I’m never using that company, and I’m telling them to F**K RIGHT OFF.

I’m going to start taking cash out of the bank to pay for things I’d normally use card for. Like shopping. We need to keep it alive. People don’t seem to get the dangers of losing cash. You say a “problematic” word online, and “they” freeze your bank account for a month.

Always remember asking an Arab driving a top spec Ferrari how he got it over from Dubai.
“Did you have someone drive it over for you?”
“No I had it flown over”
“Flown! Must have been expensive?”
“It was free”
“Free? Why?”
“It’s my plane”

Been in 2 hours, going home. That’s me done until I hear the economy is picking up. It’s as quiet as when covid first hit, but hundreds more empty cabs. If you’re wondering whether to try, I’m suggesting you save your fuel. Your choice, but I’ve given you my take.

Just thinking back to before I was a cabby when I had several normal jobs. Getting shit for getting in 1 minute past your start time, but regularly having to work up to 30 min past the end of your shift unpaid 😡. Being a cabby RULES!

For those who haven’t been to the area in a while, or only just coming back to work since last year - avoid Highbury corner like the plague. Even at 10pm on a quiet Sunday night with no traffic, it still took 10 minutes to cross. Worst junction in London by far.

The number of punters who tell me of bad experiences in other cabs is shocking. I tell ya, if one of these tech firms gets its act together, we won’t last long. We really need to tackle these internal issues, and drop this “don’t be a grass” shit.

Job to Charlton from Waterloo. Takes me home. She asks

“Harrow”

Here’s a tip for pedestrians to avoid being selfish inconsiderate twats.
- as you approach a zebra, check to see if 1-2 vehicles are about to go past, if there are, slow down, let them go, then cross
- don’t just appear out of nowhere, step out, then swear at cars
