The driver was a pleasant young man and we enjoyed an agreeable chat to the destination and back again to the town centre.

It’s nice to people people like him who love their home town and can tell you interesting things about it. In fact, we have been on many runs in many cities and rarely had a driver who wasn’t friendly and outgoing.

Our longest run was when, because of rail problems, we were sent by the rail company from Swansea to Shrewsbury in a taxi that was a recycled London black cab. The driver was a cheerful and friendly Welshman who did his best to make to journey pleasant but – oh! – those hard seats! OK for a quick run in town but not on a long journey like that.
