    I live in Greenwich and I always take the A202 through Peckham. There's a bus lane almost all the way and if it's really bad, you can turn off left and take the small streets across to the A200.

    • @rhyswilliams7884
      @rhyswilliams7884 4 часа назад

      (A202 from Vauxhall is New Camberwell Road, then Peckham Hifh Street and Queen's Road, you end up on the A2/New Cross Road and then you can take Greenwich High Road (30mph limit!))

    Hi Mark. Glad to see you looking well. The "no flag" rule seems peculiar in light of what you said about the display of other "non UK" flags. Perhaps the new government will remedy that & etc... I had no idea how large the interior of the cab was until you showed it at the beginning.

    Hi Mark Great channel I mean this is no disrespect but I do have to ask Most taxi drivers are from Essex and may of not took the traditional educational route. In my experience of London you come across as potentially a middle or upper class SW guy who is quite well off. Is this job a pure hobby for you because you enjoy it. Once again if I am off the mark I apologise.

    I remember going up for my 2nd 14 day appearance which was when you were given your rec. I got Mr Chalcott who asked me 14 runs one of which was Fulham FC to Orient FC I dropped 1 point and at the end of the appearance he said ‘I suppose I should give you your rec’ then. No well done or handshake.

    According to Transport For London, The Knowledge was introduced as a requirement for taxi drivers in 1865 (1865!.........and the horse said "I wouldn't go that way if I was you - terrible pile up in King William Street") and London Transport Museum says the first licensed female taxi driver in London was Shirley Preston who passed The Knowledge in April 1967.

    Hi, and sorry for your illness. do you have insurance for illness or have you lost income? In Norway there is a period of 16 days without sick pay or I can take out expensive insurance. I have often forgotten to switch on the taxi meter since we have a pick-up rate.

    @speedstyle. 12 дней назад

    If you work by number of fares (or money) rather than hours, then statistically you earn a lower hourly wage. This is because you spend fewer hours working on busier days, and more hours running empty. It makes it easy to adjust to emptier weeks/months/years where you _need_ to work more hours, but you can just increase your weekly hours when money's tight, it will take fewer hours on average to hit your target.
