I was in London last year and was quite shocked seeing rickshaws. I was there to see the British culture. There is nothing that would entice me to ride in one. Most of them looked trashy, tacky and grubby. Ewww...
I don’t write many checks anymore but when I do I’ve always made sure that the written amount and the spelled amount take all the space so nothing can be added - was taught this many years ago!
Hello Neil, For any English people who are interested there's a petition to stop Khan getting a Sir title. I don't have a link but found it easy enough. Googling it. Penny from Christchurch. 🇬🇧
I wonder if there is a method to the madness. If the once profitable businesses in central London start to fail they might then become available for purchase by foreign (to us) investors. The small mayor is definitely not working for the people of the UK, so who might his alternative pay masters be I wonder?
Yes Neil cash is the best but what you can get is a charge card that has to have money deposited on it and will not allow more to be taken. And of course with cash or card ALWAYS get a receipt!!!!
This is extremely sad what's happening in London and dislike the fact as you say, that they're blocking up the e entrance to Buckingham Palace! I read about this on someone's social media post, absolutely awful. I just don't understand how it can be allowed, doesn't sound regulated to me! Great idea about taking a photo of the Rickshaw and driver Neil, you could be taking one for fun after all for all he knows. Definitely take a photo of everything I agree
London is far too "BAME" to be safe. The city needs to go back to the population demographics of the 50's, when everyone walking around looked and sounded like Neal Sean.
My late mother worked at a bank and taught me decades ago that when writing a cheque, write the word "only" before writing out the dollar amount and where you write the numbers, put a line in front of them. They started here adding numbers to your credit or debit cards at restaurants to the tip on the receipt after you sign it so a $10 tip can be made into a $100 tip, so that same line in front of the numbers of the tip amount prevents them from gaining extra money from you illegally. My mom was a wise woman teaching us these tricks and perhaps it could work on the rickshaw vehicle drivers as well. A big 👋 from deep in the ❤ of Texas and Cheers y'all 😊
@theseeker4642 Yes, our mother's were quite wise and grew up, at least mine did, during the great depression so she taught me how to pinch a penny until it screamed for mercy. 🙂 Now that we're retired and our grandchildren are almost all of an adult age, I still can't break that habit. 🦋
@ it does over here too . Some places have a minimum amount you can use a card for . Many other places especially take away restaurants on app will often charge 50-80p service charge for you using your card online to order and pay
I’ve heard rickshaws scam their customers all over the world where they have them. It’s terrible😢. There are honest ones, but, I wouldn’t know how to tell the difference😅. Thanks for the heads up Neil, valuable tips!😊
Yes I voted for Susan , it’s either a shame she never got in she would have many changes to London for the better, or a fiddle that the weasel got in. Khan and Starmer are two of the most HATED MEN in this country, I wish they both were removed from office 🏴
Wave. What we do when we travel is to get gift cards and use them instead of our regular cards. They are very convenient for taxi's. There is no way for a crook to hit us our real accounts.
I think many of our larger cities here in the US are also having more than just difficulties with just about everything! I don’t even go to a Mall near me any more unless I have no choice!!
Excellent advice Neil. Everyone who 8s visiting London should watch your show, it’s the best, honest tourist guide. You also point out really good, free things to see.
Taking a photo of the rickshaw driver??? If there is so much mistrust that you need his photo, I think it’s best not to take the ride at all. I think it’s downright offensive to say, hey just in case you are a thief, can I take your photo? Or probably even worse, to secretely, sneakily take photos of people. Or to lie to people, hey thanks for the ride, can we take a selfie as a souvenir? When the real intention is: just in case you are a thief, cos I don’t care to remember you otherwise. No! If you are so much afraid, then don’t risk the ride, but if you do, then have manners.
Neil, I love the sight of that beautiful scenery behind you and thank you for all the wonderful scenes of London after dark that you're showing us. It's truly appreciated.
I thought London was famous for their black cabs, Neil. The Mayor of London is a disgrace. Happy Christmas Neil. Stay well and don't take any chances while you're doing a fantastic job.
👋👋 Bravo Neil, thank you for being the Champion voice of the people in these difficult times, your thoughtful supportive words are so appreciated by all your Chums. This situation truly saddens me and a blight on our beautiful City of London. Sadiq Khan has a lot to answer for, he shows no care for those he is meant to represent, disgraceful. Thank you Neil, your wise words were wondeful, you are a 🌟. Please stay safe and well. Hx👋👋🙏❤️🏴🌟
I heard about this only this week, but I heard also, that they're looking to regulate these rickshaws now ... long overdue, but the quicker the better. If anyone's visiting London, please avoid using these thingsn.
Hi Neil 👋👋👋🇦🇺🇦🇺, I took note of what you said before, so we walked everywhere and even in the rain we ignored those rickshaws. They looked tacky and they don't look safe . Thanks Neil.
I'm afraid this nothing new. I remember when these rickshaw things first took off. They had a bad reputation even then. To everyone in Neil's 'family' I would say, follow Neil's advice and do NOT use these rickshaws.
These vehicles are dangerous. They are very fragile and offer no visible means of protection to the passengers inside. Likened to sitting in a tin can. I've seen 2-3 passengers stuffed into a gaudy, fur filled rickshaw precariously. Death on wheels. Enter at your peril.
One of the best City’s in the World ruined by a woke Mayor who doesn’t like the indigenous people or Britain, these rickshaws are a disgrace & a nuisance.
The man is making the place cheap and tacky. Another RUclipsr - not a journalist - was also warning his viewers about these "drivers" ripping people off and was warning people to be very wary if they decided to use the rickshaws.
Harry is always protected and never travels into the parts of London that Neil is discussing. Don't feel sorry for Harry. It's the little people who are being robbed and murdered. There's danger and bad people all around the world, unfortunately.
Wise advice and cautions from Neil. Rickshaws and London are not compatible, black cabs only. Sad how things are going, leadership needs to be changed!
Sadiq Khan has a lot to answer for. He needs to go immediately.
I was in London last year and was quite shocked seeing rickshaws. I was there to see the British culture. There is nothing that would entice me to ride in one. Most of them looked trashy, tacky and grubby. Ewww...
They should be banned.
I agree...they are awful n don't look very Nice
Leave the rickshaws in Asian countries where they belong. London is black cabs and double decker red buses.
Yes, should loose their license!
Thanks for the tip, Neil. I love London & the UK in general. It is sad that London has changed so.
I got to visit in 1997. Back when it was very, very safe for a single woman. Not now.
Rip off rickshaws in London . Its very sad Neil . I like the Black Cabs . Big waves 👋
I don’t write many checks anymore but when I do I’ve always made sure that the written amount and the spelled amount take all the space so nothing can be added - was taught this many years ago!
I don’t think anyone in the UK write cheques anymore . I’ve not used one since 2008
Hello Neil,
For any English people who are interested there's a petition to stop Khan getting a Sir title. I don't have a link but found it easy enough. Googling it.
Penny from Christchurch. 🇬🇧
Have signed that 👍🏴🇬🇧
@moretus2270 Good one. :)
Me too! Big waves all round 👋👋👋
@carylreeday873 👍👍👍 x
No cash, no buy. My motto.
Yet another reason not to visit London, well done SK.......not
Hes ruined it😢
@em6577 I used to visit London regularly, theatre, concerts, restaurants and sporting events, no more, just wouldn't feel safe
I wonder if there is a method to the madness. If the once profitable businesses in central London start to fail they might then become available for purchase by foreign (to us) investors.

He’s turned it into Pakistan
Thank you, Neil, it's very kind of you to pass this information on for the safety of your chums.
They don’t sound too regulated to me if they are scamming the public like that 😒
368K! Way to go, Mr Sean!
Rickshaws are cash only with wise people. I agree that they clutter up many places in London
Yes Neil cash is the best but what you can get is a charge card that has to have money deposited on it and will not allow more to be taken. And of course with cash or card ALWAYS get a receipt!!!!
Stay safe please

You wouldn't get me in London at any time of the year THANKS 👍👍
Good advice!
This is just shameful.
I want London to go back to the 1960’s.
Good day Neil😊

As you can see from this , we don’t really use cheques anymore. In 2022, cheques accounted for less than half a percent of payments made in the UK
My mother taught me the same thing & it stood me in good stead.
@Taylor23890 It costs businesses money to accept credit or debit cards, and in our rural area cheques are required from some establishments.
@theseeker4642 Yes, our mother's were quite wise and grew up, at least mine did, during the great depression so she taught me how to pinch a penny until it screamed for mercy. 🙂 Now that we're retired and our grandchildren are almost all of an adult age, I still can't break that habit. 🦋

Thank you Neil for sharing this very important information!. God bless you!. ❤
Good Evening Neil 🎄🇺🇲👋🤚👋🤍🎄❤️🎄🌹🎄. What a beautiful veiw behind you ❤️🎄❤️
Yes, SK spend on renaming train lines unnecessarily but when it comes to improving the transport infrastructure suddenly the pot is empty. 🙄
The lights are rubbish,theres no spirit anymore sine khant has been mayor. At least bozzer had personality!
Susan Hall wouldve been fab
Yes I voted for Susan , it’s either a shame she never got in she would have many changes to London for the better, or a fiddle that the weasel got in. Khan and Starmer are two of the most HATED MEN in this country, I wish they both were removed from office 🏴
That's a great public service warning Neil... Hopefully many become aware and aviod this criminal enterprise.
Wave. What we do when we travel is to get gift cards and use them instead of our regular cards. They are very convenient for taxi's. There is no way for a crook to hit us our real accounts.
Cash is king Neil. Never use cards.
I think many of our larger cities here in the US are also having more than just difficulties with just about everything! I don’t even go to a Mall near me any more unless I have no choice!!
These rickshaws have no place in London or anywhere else in the UK, they're a blight on the city, just like miniman Sadiq !
These tacky rickshaws are hanging around BP? How vulgar and cheap
Excellent advice Neil. Everyone who 8s visiting London should watch your show, it’s the best, honest tourist guide. You also point out really good, free things to see.
London in the 70s was so fantastic and happy now it is so atrocious that my whole family have moved to beautiful safe Somerset

That guy reminds me of Mr Bean.
Hello everyone! 👋Many thanks for the heads up Neil. 👍💯❤

😢😢very sad
I live in London and my advice would be Stay away at least till KHAN has been dethroned
It’s not safe
We are not loins. We are not sheep. We are both.
Just don't go to London
I will always say merry or happy Christmas no one will stop me. Never knew there was rickshaw in UK, is that something new.
S.K gone
LIMIT your loss with a small amount separate bank account, say £200 for SMALL items, IFFY situations. Then top up from another bank account,
👋👋👋
Good evening neil 🖐
Always get the receipt
If only London had a proper mayor
Hi Neal, your picture you put up of Khan made him look like Mr Bean!!
London is not a nice place to visit..
WHOS fault is it we all know we Need a good man or woman to BRING BACK LONDON TO NORMALITY ITS A COVER UP WITH RICKSURE IMO
I'm afraid this nothing new. I remember when these rickshaw things first took off. They had a bad reputation even then. To everyone in Neil's 'family' I would say, follow Neil's advice and do NOT use these rickshaws.

call me old fashion. have always paid by cash in taxi and hire cars. its the safest way and the driver likes that more

Does this mean Harry is Right ?
Harry is always protected and never travels into the parts of London that Neil is discussing. Don't feel sorry for Harry. It's the little people who are being robbed and murdered. There's danger and bad people all around the world, unfortunately.
Nice place with beautiful buildings, shame about some of the folk who reside there,
👋 🛺👋
👋👋👋🥂
Rickshaws in the uk 😳 our country is falling so fast under labour & khan 😢
I’m baffled at how Londoners voted him in again. You get what you vote for…no?
Londoners didn’t vote him in. Look at the different ethnicity of the city you’ll find it’s very much those who are the as Khan voted him in
Wise advice and cautions from Neil. Rickshaws and London are not compatible, black cabs only. Sad how things are going, leadership needs to be changed!
You couldn't pay me to visit London, I'd rather visit abroad!
