Within 30 seconds of posting about Wellington Arch & my old man, an email hit The Cabbies inbox from Cudlip matriach and font of all Cudlip history, Grandma Cabbie. I’d been a very naughty boy and got some of the facts wrong, the copper in the photo isn’t Bob but Dave. I’ll let Grandma Cabbie [...]

my old man…….
Posted in Influences on December 9, 2008 | 1 Comment »
…….said be a Tottenham fan, I said….don’t be daft, you don’t even like football. It was always rugby for my old man, apart from a strange flirtation with being a bruising, Bob Latchfordesque type centre forward when his dodgy back stopped him playing his beloved rugger. What has this got to do with the photos [...]

I know, I know. Gordon hardly needs the publicity does he? What with opening a new restaurant every 3.2 seconds and juggling various extra curricular activities (nudge, nudge, wink, wink) he’s hardly out of the news.

Posted in Drinking London on December 6, 2008 | 8 Comments »

It’s one of the great joys of driving a cab (as opposed to being called a crook for deliberately choosing the route with the most traffic) when you come across a completely unexpected view of the city. It had sort of happened to me earlier in the day as I turned into Brixton Hill and [...]

Well I hate to break the news to the general public, but despite cab driver’s reputation for planet sized brains (see link), this particular brain was having a day off. Not working due to childcare duties later in the day, I thought it would be the perfect opportunity at get into town and sort out [...]
giant snowflake invades knightsbridge

It was all over the radio – giant snowflake causes traffic chaos in Knightsbridge! I happened to be out & about in west London, so couldn’t resist having a look. Not much sign of the traffic chaos, but I did find a giant snowflake abandoned in the middle of Knightsbridge. Apparently left over from the [...]
