Just popped into Warwick Avenue Shelter, new keepers Sean and Justin. Great to meet Sean, local bloke, and super friendly Go show them your support: I paid £5, coffee and a bacon roll. Loving life! Fish pie and their sausage rolls looked incredible too!

Careless Lime rider fined and banned after City of London Police identify him using CCTV and trip data. We're working with Lime to catch anti-social cycling offences and potentially helping the force tackle wider offences in the future. Read more here cityoflondon.police.uk/news/…

Got a parking charge of £60 for dropping off an elderly resident outside her flat in Tallow Road Brentford. I’ve had my appeal rejected even though clearly not parked was clearly assisting a passenger Never saw any signage explaining no parking on private land Anyone got advice?

new perspective on the U-turn. A driver that does not have a 25ft and engages 3 point turn on a busy road is very inconsiderate. Therefore, any driver who decides to purchase a cab without a 25ft lock has to accept that he will upset other road users as well as colleagues.

@TfL @TfLTPH the easiest way to sort the daily chaos on Pancras Rd at the train stations drop off is to put cameras up, signs up. 1minute drop off only. And BAN u-turns. This cannot continue all day every day

I’m not buying into this pantomime that the boroughs are doing where they are rounding up dockless bikes and fining the operators. Hire operators are doing everything they can to get in with individual boroughs before the Devolution Bill kicks in. 🧵

My hunch… these operators have probably been doing a lot to keep boroughs on side. This is arguably a PR stunt

There’s a special place in hell for cabbies who drop in this part of Waterloo steps 🙄

In and out service today @E1TaxisLtd guys and girls are like the Apple store of the taxi trade. Spotless! You know exactly what you are getting and how long it is taking. 7 years coming here, and I've never had any fault out of the dozens of times I've been! 🙏🏻

Serious question, did @Waymo get a minicab driver to program their ‘driverless’ cars? #AI

So what’s the answer? work until you drop? Drive endlessly with your light on until no more hands go up? Some cab drivers are pathetic This job offers freedom. If you want to work yourself to the bone, go for it! you will get the rewards. BUT there’s more to life than graft!

Uber Sneak Update! He is still active, despite numerous complaints to TfL. He is still using Gett and FN but increasingly Comcab, Jump and Blackcab. Please do NOT allow yourself to be antagonised or respond in anyway other than ‘politely’. Please report all approaches to the app concerned and to [email protected]
