Since private cabs have to have badges saying ‘I am Private Cab, yeah’ I’ve noticed that nearly every last minute Black Bitch swerve, sharp braking and jolly cries of ‘your mother shits in my garden’ (I don’t have a garden but that’s not the point, honestly, you should see their faces) the protagonist of my evasive action/vitriol bears the ‘I am Private Cab, yeah’ badge.
These badged-bastards now join the ranks of every BMW driver and farty scooter as the new turds of the road. Of course they’ve always been there but because of the propensity of the drivers to operate without a driving licence/insurance and touch-up pissed up teens they now have to make themselves known to the wider public.
As the ‘I am Private Cab, yeah’ badge is now a warning to other motorists and society at large the badge shouldn’t pull any punches and read ‘I like to touch-up pissed teens and I drive like a fucking cunt’ in 3 foot high letters on every available panel.
Piqued for Mayor.
I had a ridiculously stressed day at work yesterday; the recession is causing my bosses face to physically convulse like some contaminated hospital worker in a TV adaptation of a Stephen King horror. My attitude is simple, there isn’t much I can do so treat yourself to another fag and even if you don’t want to plop it may be worth sitting on the bog reading the paper for 10 minutes in case Mr. Brown wants to take a dip.
But yesterday this was impossible, I had to show people stuff and do things work-related. Making matters worse I have to do more today, right now in fact. Perhaps being a private cab driver isn’t that bad after all.
I mentioned today’s vid to Planet Mondo and Urban Woo on Thursday…

Obviously only a small proportion of them actually operate as Private Hire vehicles. The rest have bought the badge because they drive into London every day and cabs get a reduction on the Congestion Charge.
Joined up thinking. Well done everyone there

Fourstar, it doesn’t matter whether they are real or not, anyone with that badge drives like they’ve been eating contaminated limbs and should be shot in the face.

why is it, no matter what cab you get in (not the black london ones- but the surburban cab’s) they all feel and sound alike – regardless of model, it’s always like being driven in the same cab-capsule

PM, I think it boils down to the drivers as they share the same IQ (and tastes in pissed-up teens)
