This, but going very East. The one thing I had going for me, was that very often I was the cabby's last fare home, as they would live East too. It has got much, much easier to come East, and I can't remember the last time that a cab driver declined.
Black cab drivers have to learn A LOT. A number of my uncles were taxi drivers and I know one went up three times to get his badge before passing. My dad had a local badge (not central London) during the 1970s as well as his full time job to make ends meet.
