And neither have I taken anyone to the “2 cherubs on the phone” (a statue in Temple Place) or, the absolute classic, the “policemans coat hook” (literally a hook on the wall in Gt Newport St). Examiners justified it by saying it was to force you to look at out of the way places and such like, I think they just enjoy being a bit mean. And who can blame them?

Really does beg the question why they are still in the knowledge

I wish I could remember which examiner asked the Seven Sisters Hotels but it sounds like a Mr Wilkins sort of thing. On my 2nd appearance, after establishing I lived in Tooting, he asked me Tooting Broadway Station to the Asian Community Library. Even once he told me that it was part of Tooting Library I still managed to put the library about 500 yards further down the road than where it actually is. A 2nd straight D followed but it did help give me the kick up the backside I clearly needed!!

Happy New Year, or for us Cabbies just Be Lucky I think we’ll need it.

Liked Majestic Finsbury Park post.

When I was doing the Knowledge a delivery driver at our firm who was also on the knowledge was asked: Cloudesley, Redland, Kent Hall, Majestic, Spring Park, Costello Palace, Pembury and Queens. He dropped them all, problem was he lived just round the corner near Finsbury Park, needless to say he gave it up.

They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, well I have now put a credit for your site and contribution on my parlez-vous cabbie? post. It took a time but you pricked my conscience.

David
