Passenger instantly falls asleep! Are London cabbies BORING?!

Your new mic works a charm… looking forward to seeing London next week! Maybe we’ll jump in your cab in our travels! 🇨🇦

Please do! And thanks for the mic feedback- oh that works on 2 levels 😬

A show suggestion, a video of your most memorable passengers.

[@Markstaxidiaries]

I did do a celebrity special video once. I’ll bear that suggestion in mind. Thank you 🙏🏻

[@skyepalmer5719]

I love the name Blonfontaine🎉 Anyway, i see youre in my neck of the woods again...im off the Ladbroke Grove Holland Park Ave end. If you dont mind me asking do you live in West London/middlesex? I ask because yoy always end up coming up Holland Park Ave when you start work. Anyway, great combination of history and a day in the life of your Taxi journeys, a great way for a born and bred londoner like me to become more informed about my city Im a new subscriber and my favourite video so far is the chocolate cake visit to Fortnums❤ Finally, is the green cab hut still on Pont St? I remember having a lovely bacon roll from there years ago. Thanks for taking the time to edit and upload another video.

[@Markstaxidiaries]

Ask anything! Yes I’m west London, based in Ealing. I always amble down the Uxbridge road when I start unless I have a specific booking. The green hut is doing great business on Pont st! Partly because all the workmen from the Sloane st refurbishment use it constantly. Really glad you enjoy the content 🙏🏻

Nice video Mark, maybe tone the music volume down a bit when your doing the voiceover, at 11:40 I'm really struggling to hear what you're saying.

[@Markstaxidiaries]

Thanks I’ll take a look at that 🙏🏻

[@adamjones7538]

@@Markstaxidiaries I think the loudness of the voice over I liked. The volume in the cab was low and 5% muffled. But to be honest you can't please everyone Inc me. So carry on doing what u think is best

Where' Joey Bone?😂

[@johnorchin8567]

Hi Mark, I imagine some of your passengers would wonder why you were going all around the houses to get from the Natural History Museum to Marble Arch. It must be awkward if passengers think you’re going the long way round, when in fact you’re just trying to get them to their destination quicker and more cheaply, than if you’re getting stuck in traffic on the main road. On reflection perhaps you do explain your choice of route to passengers, but edit it out of the video.

[@Markstaxidiaries]

I do explain sometimes, and quite a few times the passengers tell to avoid the park going north! You can literally miss 2 birthdays getting stuck there. Thanks for watching! 🙏🏻

[@careygeorge1152]

Think it would be fantastic if you had a map section of your route and why you make certain decisions

[@Markstaxidiaries]

You mean show the route on a map as I’m in motion?

[@careygeorge1152]

@@Markstaxidiaries yeah or cutaways with the route shown as you describe your decisions and why you make them would be great, although I appreciate possibly a lot more work for the video 😂

[@grumpy3]

Usually the passenger falls asleep at night after a few drinks.

[@Markstaxidiaries]

Very true! Gave up nights years ago though, thanks for watching 🙏🏻
