You ought to get yourself an egg-timer Tom. When you set down, set the egg-timer for five/ten minutes. If you haven't seen a hand go up in that time, join a rank. It stops you from driving round for an hour and then giving up and joining a rank.

Actually, now you mention toilet breaks; When in London; what would you do if you needed a toilet? Especially in the evening? I usually just walk into a Pret but they can close quite early. I find that finding a toilet in the evening can be quite a challenge.

As some insight, here in Singapore (and probably other countries) many taxi drivers don't know local roads, hence you gotta give them a general area before then directing them once you get there. Probably explains the lads at 24:30.

Love the videos Tom. I find it so relaxing to virtually drive around town with you. I'm always surprised at how much of London I know! Even though I don't tend to stray beyond my little corner of this city very often. A question for you about London Airports. You obviously can pick up from Heathrow, City and I imagine Gatwick. But what about London Luton and Stanstead? Would they be worthwhile even if you can?

Hi Tom, love the videos mate. I'm a sameday courier based in Sheffield. The sameday delivery industry allegedly grew from the black cab trade in the 60's and 70's. It'd be awesome if you did a video covering that period of how they started delivering whilst also running passengers around London. Keep up the good work! 👍🏻👍🏻

Hi Tom, Is this something that all London cabbies do, and is it recognised as being the correct way to do the job……driving around the side streets to avoid being stationary at lights. Perhaps customers feel more anxious if they are watching the meter tick over whilst being stationary at lights.
@drummerboy1390

They also get anxious rattling around side streets. They can think you’re taking a long route. Sometimes you just can’t win.

Question: if the knowledge only covers a certain radius from the center of London then if a fare takes you beyond that radius do you pull up a GPS to navigate or does your actual knowledge extend beyond the standard amount prescribed by the knowledge exam?

I've called it Central for as long as I can remember. The area spans from the City right up to Westminster if not beyond. The West End to me is the theatre district within Central - Piccadilly Circus, Leicester Square, Oxford Street etc.

I was thinking the same thing. I think it means pays with exact change. So if the fare was 7 pound 40 pence, she gave the exact amount. Or give 8 pounds and asked for change.
