Well yes if you put it like that. I'd rather they had to work (and walk ) for their enjoyment though instead of driving 800 metres.Mind you ,the kettle will just have boiled by the time they get back i suppose .

[Magic Man Fan]

They don't need to go back to the station to get a cuppa. They have all they need in the back of their canteen riot vans.

[dornansog]

Mind you i could go on all the other rival sites and tell them my problems.

I know what im about to say is going to make some of you jealous but i can't really help that as im generally a better man, period.

I drive at present only 2 cars beleive it or not and the one of them is cack. Anyone wanna make me an offer on my Aston Martin v12 Vanquish 2003. Not keen on it personally although im sure some of you lot would be according to the current hairdryers you ae driving.

Fear not though i have recently purchased a Rolls Royce Phantom 2004. Paid cack loads of cash for that one, but my word is it worth it. It has cocktail cabinets bigger than most of the houses you lot live in i bet.

[Magic Man Fan]

You forgot to sign off coxanddrummie

Wouldn't want the Vanquish. Only a DB9 or the new Bentley for me.

In fact I'm visiting the Bentley factory tomorrow for business purposes. Already been once and its pretty impressive.

the midlandsmarts massive, the honey monster is there because snap, crackle and pop were already booked.

[Neil Ravenscroft]

Where's the Bentley, Coxie?

[car snob]

Ah, yes the RR Phantom. Says a lot about the owner, that car, principally that he is desperate to impress, has no taste or discernible style, is swayed by notions of a better past and, by the by, has an exceedingly small penis.

Traded the Bentley in Neil. Had it for a few years, you could tell by the stains on the back seat. My mechanic gimp said id fraped the engine too which is astounding considering you pay large sums of cash for perfection.

This Rolls i have is something else though. The comfort is second to none, refinements are great. It's a hard job trying to stay awake while driving. I have my surround sound to help me out at the moment though. My current listening includes a fantastic soul artist called Lewis Taylor and a majestic Scottish group called The Blue Nile.

The Bentley factory was fantastic and Quentin Wilson was even walking around with some hosts.

I have (at last) got rid of my London Black Cab - six years old and nearly half a million miles... I now have a new taxi, but one of those van-like creations; it's a Fiat Scudo Combinato, and my eyes have been opened to some of the obvious advances in technology of the past six years, i.e. its engine is 2.0 against the previous cab's 2.5, but it's got loads more poke and greater top speed. It purrs, as against sounding like a Chieftain Tank. It carries one more passenger (7 against 6), and it cost £8,600 LESS than the London Cab did 6 years ago!!!!!

I don't pretend to be able to work that lot out, but the lower repayments are very welcome !!

[geoffwhiting]

This is one of those Peugeot 806 / Citroen Synergie look-alikes isn't it Welsh ? I've had a good look around them at a client's place in Coventry where they service and supply taxis. These new things are MUCH cheaper to buy/lease, but are far more modern-looking and technologically up-to date.

Can't see much of a future for the old style black cab to be honest, unless these new things show signs of unreliability.

[Welsh_Saddler]

Correct in your analysis Geoff - yes, it's the product of a tie-up between Peugeot and Fiat (I think) - but the funny thing is that it normally retails at around £23,000.... mine, however, was shipped to Ireland (Republic of), to a dealer in Cork, and then imported to the UK, and the showroom price was £17,995 !!!

Your comments about the prognosis for "London" cabs are well understood, but the problem is that the Public Carriage Office, which controls the taxis in London itself (far and away the biggest UK market) prides itself in sticking to the original Hackney Carriage regulations, which stipulate the all-important facility of a 24ft. turning circle..... and only the London cabs can come anywhere near that - it's a bit like turning the steering wheel of a dodgem car hard over, in that you seem to turn sideways; it was originally required for taxis that picked up at (I think) the Ritz in Piccadilly, where the driveway was in the shape of a horseshoe, with a very tight turn at the apex..... horses and carriages could do it, no problem, so therefore mechanised taxis had to be able to show they could do it too. Also, London cabs had to be a certain height at the passenger door entrance, so that a gentleman could enter and exit without having to remove his top hat. These rules have been closely observed by the London Public Carriage Office ever since motorised taxis were introduced, and they aren't going to change their attitude !!

Sorry to waffle on...............
