VPNs do not secure you in any way now of course. Actually it's a bit stupid using a VPN to be honest with you because that's face it all of your traffic goes down the same tunnel down the same pathway and then hey who likes to buy your data? Yes now you're getting it if the government wants your data they have it all in one place they can just ask nord VPN for your data. Let's not forget the fact that there are many other ways of tracking you a VPN does not protect you from anything.

I love how you leave all the bad scooter, bike and Uber footage for us but never draw attention to it….just “I’ll leave this here”

If you're worried about grease and whatnot from food bags getting on your seats, you might want to have a dish cloth or two with you so that people can put their bags onto those instead.

When I hit Belgrave Square, if grosvenor crescent full up go down to Chapel Street and left grosvenor place,works 90% of time.sometimes sticking to the cotton don't do you any favours.

Great video as usual! Can never get enough of these! Have a great Xmas and New Year .... stay safe, and see you on the other side!

I think it would be a good idea to see how much work you can get in the suburbs and make it a video.

Great add. Made me laugh 😆

Tom you could have come in from glamis road to access that part, but you have to come out the same way so you don’t cross the bus gate. But if she didn’t specify a house number before than I can see how that could happen.

Was it one that was too disconnected from other cycling-suitable lanes and paths to actually be practical?

Would love to know the fair charge for each trip also! Great videos!

7:18 you did not mention the centre Arch of Admiralty Arch is only suppose to be used by the Queen/King to drive from the Mail to Trafalgar Square. Hence the Royal coat of arms above the arch. So the Americans should feel like Royalty going through the middle arch. But I did not know the fact about Nelsons Fleet so your video's are educational.

That Nord vpn plug was slick 🤣

Have you ever actually taken anyone from Manor house station to Gibson square?

Nelsons fleet. When i did the knowledge some 16 years ago, i spent far to long looking for that point, up and down the mall like a yo yo. About to give up looking when a i ask a passing cabbie, hey mate, im looking for nelsons fleet, he then pointed up at the lamp posts.

That Grosvenor Crescent closure seems to be the bane of a Cabbie's life at the moment😒😒

Hi Tom, I see a lot of cabs with decals/ vinyl advertisements on them. Is it the individual drivers' decision whether to have these on their cabs, or is it a outside decision made by tfl or a 3rd party. What benefits are there for the cabs/ drivers with these on?

@ragnkja

Жыл бұрын

It’s up to the owner of each taxi to decide whether to have adverts on the cab or not, but they don’t necessarily have much control over which adverts they get if they choose to have them.

Did the other taxi driver get passed?, yes, so what's his problem?🤣

What do you do if someone can't pay at all?

THIS IS FOOD drinks are very nice

i wonder what is the longest trip you have ever been asked to do. i asked same question to a Cabbie in Liverpool and he said a bloke jumped in with a bag and asked to be taken to Aberdeen airport. he had to get a helicopter out to the oil rigs in the north sea. he paid but cabbie wouldn't tell me how much. some trip Eh?

Isn’t there a no right into Battersea reach?

If you are going into the North/South Colonnade in the Canary Wharf site, there’s a barrier you have to pass through. Taxis generally pass through but they can stop you and swab the steering wheel/check the vehicle if they feel like it.

So funny Ha Ha Ha Your analogy for Nord VPN, it is like being able to drive around without having to watch out for cyclists! LOL

Always makes me laugh seeing taxi drivers complain about other taxi drivers pulling in. You should see the shambles every night in Horseferry Road when the guys go to the Italian restaurant by the bus stop near MI5 for their food. Their parking is terrible.

Maybe a stupid question, but why are you allowed to follow the bus lanes, yet are denied using that bus lock?

I don't know how you drive around in the course of a shift and worry if you have taken a job of another cabbie? I'm assuming it's because you're reasonably well known and fear the backlash? Really at the end of the day is it that big of a deal if you took that fare at 13:53 in this video? Win some lose some.
