Black Cabs Up in Arms

I like black cabbies though. Always good for a chat.

^ racist

Maybe I'm in a bad mood with taxis after watching one trying to knock a cyclist off the road this morning, screaming at him to 'get out of the middle of the road' (edited for obscenities). He (and I) were doing 40kph coming up to a traffic light at the time. The cab driver barged his way past only to immediately have to stop, so we could all have a good shout at each other.

Last time that happened to me the cab driver pointed out that his job was "To get people from A to B as fast as possible without killing anyone".

Very considered and professional attitude to his work, I thought.

But a bit of maiming 's ok

Cabbies are shits.

Shit drivers and aggressive, inadequate men, protected by the Police.

Should I get off the fence?
this sums up my view of cabbies.

Looks pretty boring

No burnt out Toyota Avensises, no placards and shouting - just loads of taxis blocking the street - business as usual.

That news article is over a year old!

My mistake.

Still didn't hear about any large scale civil insurrection in Oxford Circus yesterday though.

Here's a picture from yesterday (not Feb 09!)
