    What the heck does "Africa" mean?? Is Africa one monolithic identity? Why didn't you put Europe or Asia?? Africa has 54 nations and over a billion people of diverse nationality, culture and languages. How then do you end up with the mindset of using one image to depict an entire continent? And by the way, Egypt is in Africa! There is no nation called "German". London is not a country. It would be beneficial for you if you got an education before making videos. Away with you and your stupid video!!

    I had the privilege to drive a silver TX1 SE for the Blind Veterans UK charity for 3 years. It is very spacious internally, the back seats fold upwards and a jump seat can be fitted next to the driver. Although the mpg never got beyond 15 and the top speed is 97.9 mph.

    Here's a story for you. My dad is a London Taxi Driver and has been for over 40 years. A friend of his (another cabbie) came across this video and showed it to my dad. When he watched it for the first time something caught his eye but he wasn't totally sure about it. So he watched it again, and again and again. It turns out that the driver picking up from Victoria Station at 3:38 and 8:24 in the video is his Grandad Mick, so my Great Grandad. What are the chances of that eh??? I've since watched this video a thousand times. I just about remember my Great Grandad Mick as he died when I was very young, but what an amazing video and a story to go with it.

    Forty eight years licensed now (i'm 69) and apart from this awful pandemic which has crucified business at present and forced me to give my rented taxi back to the fleet owner on the last week of March 2020 (I was also an owner driver for forty years) I will be returning when, hopefully, things get better later this year. I still feel like i'm forty and although feeling a little anxious about returning, especially due to some of the road changes due to that vertically challenged present mayor of ours, Khan, and some of the councils with their LTN schemes, I want to get back. I feel for those younger than I in this trade with mortgages or rent and possibly having a family to support because Covid-19 has side swiped our trade, as with other trades I realise we're not the only one's. But as mentioned with others I definitely feel that the London taxi trade was in decline before the pandemic from around 2012. It certainly is nothing like it used to be, but being solipsistic I do not have the pressures that I used to have anymore plus my wife is an essential worker (education) and both my daughters are working plus I get the state pension. So i'm still here..... just. As far as the "black colour bit" is concerned. Out of the three cabs I owned two were not black. One was a non metallic grey "Fairway FX4" and the other was a "Fairway Driver FX4" and the colour was called Rover Storm grey which was a metallic finish. By the way I never have and never will wear a flat cap, sound like Sid James or say gawd blimey guvnor. But I do remember the older FX3 taxis as my late dad drove one and when that model was finished he then bought, over the years, a couple of FX4's. One saying we do have in this trade that I use is...."Be lucky". I'll also add on "be safe" as well given our present pandemic situation.

      @@edwardoleyba3075 Thanks for that, I returned back to work around four weeks ago. Whilst business is not as it was before the pandemic fortunately I can take a 40 / 50% cut in my earnings, especially as most fleet owners are renting out their cabs at lower amounts like the one I rent from. I feel the work situation is going to take a while to get back to a semblance of normality (as with certain other businesses) but as I said above, I will "get through" it unscathed. So many drivers have left this trade, not just because of the pandemic, although it has definitely accelerated it, but also over the last eighteen months or so there are around four and a half thousand less taxis now. This is partly to do with the age limit imposed by Johnson when mayor and with Khan who has exacerbated it. Plus the cost of the hybrid TXE taxi is a mere £61K cash price (so without interest) sheer madness. Also there are hardly any students on the "Knowledge Of London" now compared with the past.

    I retired as a London cab driver 5 years ago , at 68 years old ,after 37 years in the trade. I reckon I got out at just the right time. I knew many of the people featured in this film. Roy Cuming in particular. He was superintendent of The Royal British Legion Taxi Driver Training School in Brixton Road , Kennington. I was trained there in 1980 to 81. Roy was a brilliant teacher and a really nice man.

    I had a fleet of London Cabs, both Carbodies and Metrocabs. Recognised a few faces in the film, I also spent many happy hours at Penton St. They were comercial vehicles, designed to do a million miles and quick and easy to fix. All the drivers had to know where they were going, no sat-navs or mobile phones. Ken Livingstone put the cab trade into decline when he took control from the Metropolitian Police, and the likes of Uber are now sounding the death knell. An icon which is going to soon dissapear.
