What an hidden gem of a channel! Have searched for videos like this for a long time, Tom the Taxi driver is superb but this calm format and sped up clips are amazing! You’ve got yourself a new follower!

I'm 76 and a Londoner living in exile, on my own now so look forward to videos like yours. I like your positive attitude and lack of whingeing. Only two London taxi channels I watch on KZbin, and yours is one.

@ejb4298 Ай бұрын

I'm looking forward to new videos. I like the way you're presenting the contents. I've recently subscribed to your channel. I'm not a native speaker of English, but I'm a frequent visitor to London, which is my favourite city. And I also pay attention to the language you use. I've learnt the use of "comply", when you talk about driving along some streets.

At 17:03 on the video (the very beginning of Hammersmith Road after Ken High), on the side street going left, there used to be a great "down home" cafe, heavily frequented by cabbies. I wonder if it is still there?

@Markstaxidiaries Ай бұрын

Can you remember the name of the street? Always interested in a good cabbie cafe

@zzmike Ай бұрын

@@Markstaxidiaries It's literally JUST the first left (as you drive west) JUST across the railway bridge where Ken High St becomes Hammersmith Road, on the Hammersmith Road side. The cafe is (or used to be) basically in the side of the railway cutting by the bridge. Looking it up "Addison Bridge Place" is the street. And the cafe in question might be "Frank's" It looks still to be in operation! They did a great breakfast sandwich in the late 1970s. Maybe they still do! :-) based on photos recently posted.

@zzmike ohhhhh yes! It’s still there just before Olympia on the right, I think it’s called Frank’s

What a pleasant chap and video! But what does "comply" mean when Mark is describing his directions?

@JohnnyBovril Күн бұрын

On the knowledge of London, comply means to go in the correct direction of a square or roundabout. Basically, if you come to a roundabout you turn left to comply and not right……where you may run into trouble😬 Hope that made sense.

I had no idea that Cliveden Place is pronounced differently from its namesake, Cliveden House. I suppose it must be a similar situation to Harewood village and Harewood House (at least until the 8th Earl recently declared he was adopting the more intuitive pronunciation).

Mark, when you say "flag fall" is that referring to an old cab having a flag on the side to say whether it was for hire or not ? This is a little tenuous as I'm not sure whether I've remembered something that isn't true or not. If that makes sense. Have a great weekend you crazy cat.

When you are commentating the route, sometimes you use the word comply. What does this mean. I am assuming it is for a one way system but I'm only guessing.
