👍👍 Yes Guvnor, Part 2 please. Good content is Good content whatever the circumstances and a bum on the seat/view .👌
I still have the footage I’m trying to work out a way of uploading it without it being boring.
@@ALondonCabbie We/your Fans are waiting 😃good content is never boring 👍
Nice video again , really enjoyed . I got idea what my day will look like as London cabbie 🎉🎉
Thanks for taking the time out to comment. Every day is different although you’ll find there are certain points you drop at all the time
Thanks again mate. Please upload the second part since you’ve recorded it.
Thanks again
Thank you Nasir. I have a couple of uploads scheduled already. I’ll see what I can do (edit wise) so hopefully it’s not too boring 👍
Just started the knowledge. Barely memorised first two blue book runs. 😂😂😂 hoping to be in your situation one day but it feels like a million miles away.
Ps nice calm vids too
Thank you for your message. I remember that feeling! Work hard, time will fly by and before you know it, it’ll all fall into place. Be lucky 🍀
Nice to see my house on Weston St briefly show there!!❤
When the Doorman hails you meter on
Thanks Michael. I certainly don’t wait for the customer to get in. It’s doorman hail/speak to them meter on. Too many times, customers drag their heels while you’re sitting there waiting.
Love the vids mate
I’m considering on learning the knowledge where do I start from and what materials will I need
Thanks a lot for the motivation
Great video again Ollie and I like the new circle map in the bottom corner 🤙🏻 please post as many videos as you can even if the map disappears. With being on the knowledge all the visual videos are helping me learn cheers
Thank you. I like the circle too. I’m just trying new things to see what is better to look at. I’m hoping I can upload this coming Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday. 2 of which will be one day split into 2 parts. Most weeks I’m aiming for Thursday and Sunday uploads but I’ll always try and get an extra up on a Tuesday where I can. Thanks for your continued support
The Doorman issue is all down to a cabbies sense of fair play.You can either put the meter on once hailed or wait until you see the whites of the customers eyes,which was my way.Personnal choice innit.
Thanks for another kind comment. I always waited for customer to be seated before starting the meter but had it at the Kimpton Fitzroy a while back. Doorman hailed me, left me sitting there for well over 10 minutes waiting (while 3 separate customers asked if I was available) I then got cc legalled on a Euston. Since that day, if the doorman wants a cab, the meter goes on when spoken to. For me that’s the point of hire. Any other time, customer can chat at the window or ask “my ….. is coming now” I’ll wait without starting the meter
Well done Ollie the work seems to be coming a k. Be lucky fella.
Am cabbie i west lothian scotland have a e7 unfortunately 😂 how you hold all that knowledge is amazing
Thanks Paul. Constant repetition of road sequences, all day and then dreaming about roads and points of interest at all night 😅
This channel has swiftly become one of my favourites.
Thank you very much. I’m really grateful you’ve taken the time out to leave a comment and support the videos I’m uploading
Thank you for the video, looking forward to the next one. 👍
Thank you. Your comments and support are really appreciated
Brilliant Ollie yes please part 2 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 that was a great video. Keep them coming.
Thank you Martin. I have the camera footage I’m just trying to work out a way of showing the route, without copying other RUclipsrs style. 👍
@@ALondonCabbie the map on the side is a fantastic idea it really helps ! But not essential. Have a good evening what’s left of it 🤣🤣
@@martinfoskett7697 thanks Martin. You too mate 👍
Was it a "Good Friday"? That massive grin of yours right at the start rather gave the game away!😀 Good on you, Ollie, 👍and thanks for this unexpected-but always welcome-video. "Part 2" even without the map view would still be good to watch, but if you've already got something else lined up to post then no problem. Keep 'em coming! Michael
I do agree with you!
Thank you Michael. I have the camera footage saved. Just trying to work out a way of sharing the routes without copying other/bigger Taxi RUclipsrs style. I’m hoping next week I can have new videos Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday. Then it’ll be 2 a week for the foreseeable future. 👍
Yeah I’d love a part 2
Looks like a blinding shift! Loving the vids this one probs fav so far. Just kicking into blue book 4 now 💪
Thank you. I’m so happy you like the videos. Good luck on your knowledge journey. Get that 4th book done, get to school and start pointing asap! Good luck 🍀
Greetings Ollie brilliant video you make a hard job look easy great work be lucky
Thank you Baz. Really appreciate your support with every video. Thanks 👍
😅I kid you not, this was on my recommendation page I clicked on it. You know what I enjoyed it great stuff love seeing all the different places, sights & locations
Thank you is not often ☺️🙌YT hardly gives me something entertaining to watch but this one by the grace of God I really enjoyed it can’t wait for more daily’s
As of the time I writing this I have finished the video onwards to the rest of your videos
Great stuff Keep it up 👍✅
That’s brilliant to hear. Thank you so much for taking the time out to leave such a nice comment. It’s really appreciated. I’m trying to upload at least twice a week for the foreseeable future. It’s still a new channel and I’m learning with every video.
The only Bank Holidays I would drive my cab on would be Xmas/New Years(New Years Eve particularly),because as this gentleman points out,Bank Holidays are NOT that great due to the higher tariff.
Thank you for your comment. Bank holidays are so hit and miss. I’ve found 1 in 4 work out a “good day”
Be lucky mate well done mate lovely content.
Thank you Marc. Really appreciate your support 👍
Well done ❤
Thank you. Your comments are always appreciated
Great channel, just subscribed
Thank you for taking the time out to leave a comment. I’m really happy you like the videos I’m uploading. Your support is really appreciated
good video the wait and return job how do you price that job? i used to charge full fare there then half fare back plus any waiting time. and i will watch watever you put up ive enjoyed the videos many thanks
Thank you Jason. This one was on the meter, as i lose commission through the app it was booked. Plus it was an inside London job. For longer distance wait and return jobs I’ll price up based on mileage/time on the job 👍
Good video mate , just on the point of dropping off on the side door , the driver that was having a scream up ,was within his rights too , he see you drop off on a rank , which technically you’re not meant to do so the next job is his , his mindset might have been that that job was a roader ,you did the right thing mate , the front rank gets abused all the time with drivers dropping on the rank , hanging around, whilst other drivers can’t put on for fear of getting a ticket, therefore drive past , whilst the monkey bastard is now on the rank , I know people will argue that there were no cabs there , but that doesn’t make it right , what you could of done is let him take the first job , then you the next one , you did the right thing and karma payed you back with a job straight away , some of us like to play the game straight with the unwritten gentlemen rules of the trade and there’s plenty who don’t , keep up the good content and be lucky 👍
Thanks Jason. Yeah you’re not wrong mate. Customer wanted side door, so I did make a point of not pulling onto the rank to drop off. I couldn’t go past the rank as there was a vehicle blocking me. It was more, that there was definitely 2 jobs, maybe more. Also being Harrods it’s more than likely a Selfridges but yeah, next job 100% was the drivers behind, I would have jumped out the cab and passed the job back either way but I know that there are plenty of chancers in our trade and there was no way the driver behind was to know what I would do. I turned my light off, drove forward, checked no lights were on behind me before putting mine back on and going on the next rank. Thanks for your comment and support. It’s really appreciated 👍
Do you still use satnav when dropping of customers?
Once we’ve completed the knowledge of London, taxi drivers can use whatever aids they/we like to assist with route planning
Probably already been asked. Maybe one for the Q&A, but how long did the knowledge take you?
Thanks Kane. I’ll include it in a Q&A video but happy to share now. I was 2 year 4 months from Manor House to Handshake. I lost nearly 4 months of appearances due to covid
WOW. When did u start the Knowledge and Finish it?
@@delightburberry7700 I started in 2019. Got my req 22/2/22 👍
Isn't it Campden hill Rd?
You’re correct, well spotted 👍
@@ALondonCabbie I've been playing the north London map of geoguessr so I was really curious where it was. I googled Camden hill road thinking it would be in Camden town but it's a random street south of London. then I rewatched that section and followed your nifty map along with maps to see campden...haha.
Back*
Thank you Suzi. This past week has been dreadful but hopefully from tomorrow it picks up again 🤞
Did you let tfhell know about the vids mate? I know Tom had a bit of agg with them?
I do believe he had issues from previous videos but I don’t think it was due to not having their permission. I’m hoping that I shouldn’t need to 🤞 no customers are filmed entering/exiting the taxi, no voices are recorded other than mine. In a public place, you can record anyone, no permission is needed. Once they are on private property or in a Taxi which has been hired then the law is different. Just because I’ve blurred a face, doesn’t mean they were my actual customer 😉
Knowledge students
NRT Duke Street Hill 😉
I think that’s been lifted now mate. As far as I’m aware, no signs in place.
Completely forgot that was a thing 😅
@@ALondonCabbie 🤣😜😉
Live these vids mate. I’m not in the trade any more but really enjoy these videos, very reminiscent. I would start the meter when the passenger got in. 👍🏼
Me too. When that pax was in. Light off.
Thank you. Really appreciate your comments. I did that before however I got hailed at Kimpton Fitzroy and waited over 10 minutes for the customer. In the meantime several passers by had asked if I was available. From that day the meter goes on once I’m outside the hotel, especially if the doorman speaks to me
Too many grunting caveman in this trade, embarrassing.
You’re not wrong mate
Love the vids mate
I’m considering on learning the knowledge where do I start from and what materials will I need
Thanks a lot for the motivation

Thanks for your kind comments. I’d definitely recommend you take a look at WizAnn Knowledge school. They have a RUclips channel full of information. You can purchase all of the study material you’ll need and the apps they have are brilliant. Dean is the best in the business and WizAnn is the longest running knowledge school out there for a reason 👍
