I have to admit that I can’t actually remember when I forced took the Cabbie family to visit this place. It was an Open House weekend but wasn’t this one just gone, maybe 2007 then. But I loved it. Not just mild enjoyment at a family day out doing something mildly interesting, but absolutely loved [...]

I’m asking because, now matter how hard I try to shake it off, the Post Office Tower is still stalking me. As previously reported, I’ve got history with THE TOWER. But I hadn’t seen it for a while, maybe it’s been on a nice winter break to Paris or a short skiing holiday. Wherever it’s [...]

Sometimes, just occasionally mind you, cab drivers make mistakes. Just don’t tell anyone I told you, or I might get banned from every green hut in town. Ever since I bought my own cab I have worked “on the radio” with Dial a Cab (DAC), an institution I have great respect for (and will talk [...]
there’s an elephant in my blog

Or – how I tried to ignore St Pancras Station but failed miserably. Difficult as it may be to imagine, but before I started writing this blog I actually had a bit of a plan. Nothing cast in stone you understand but certainly a loose framework on which I could hang my musings and opinions. [...]
Ipswich to resign from Football League
Posted in Cab Rant on January 25, 2009 | 5 Comments »
With immediate effect, Ipswich will be resigning from the Football League. As the above banner shows, their fans have had enough and are taking their (leather laced no doubt) football elsewhere. Expect all the Ipswich players to now sell their 4×4′s and start walking, or getting the bus, to training and matches. No players will [...]

Or, in a slightly less obscure way, my top ten favourite cabbie moments from the last 3 years….. 10 – Cab as changing room. Nice young lady hails me on Piccadilly and needs to get to Covent Garden pronto. Dressed in nice smart business suit carrying briefcase and holdall. I concentrate on getting her there [...]

Blogging, it seems, can be a perilous business. Open your heart to the great wide world of t’interweb, and some bugger goes and tells you that you’ve made a complete dog’s dinner of your facts. This time, however, my post on Cheyne Walk didn’t even make it as far as being published before Mrs Cabbie [...]
cheyne walk, is it just me…….

…….or is it stuck in some sort of other dimensional time-warp? After working out that my best route to The Chelsea Ram for pre-match drinkies yesterday was on the 319 bus, I took the opportunity to have a short stroll along Cheyne Walk. Just the previous day whilst working, I had noticed the most ornate [...]
it’s only rock ‘n’ roll………

…..but I like, like it, yes I do. Given that The Rolling Stones released It’s Only Rock ‘n’ Roll (IORR) in 1974 (please let Wikipedia have got that right ’cause I wouldn’t know), is this the oldest bit of graffiti in London? I was only 6 at the time, so excuse me for any technical [...]

London eh? You go out thinking you’ll just take a few photos of empty streets (it’s all the rage it seems) for your own amusement. But oh no, London just won’t let you do that will it? That would be dull and London doesn’t like dull. So, as I wandered around the delights of Camden [...]
if you like that sort of thing….
