      @TomtheTaxiDriver where did you buy your steering wheel leather cover

  • @drummerboy1390
    @drummerboy1390 2 месяца назад +114

    Re the leatherworks. Back in the day, urine was used in the tanning of leather. Poor people would take their pot of urine to the tannery and get a few coppers. If you were so poor that you didn’t have a pot, you were snookered. It’s where the saying, ‘didn’t have a pot to piss in’ came from, meaning your finances were at low tide.

    • @DW-dd4iw
      @DW-dd4iw 2 месяца назад +22

      Hence the phrase "Piss poor"

    • @-._.--._.--._.--._.--._.--._.-
      @-._.--._.--._.--._.--._.--._.- 2 месяца назад +12

      No, this is false. The term comes from the sentence "not to have a pot to piss in nor a window to throw it from". You can look it up and do the research since youtube doesn't like URLs.

    The FIJ1 diplomatic plate was a cool spot!

    • @cllris
      @cllris 2 месяца назад +8

      @WithReeg it is. Diplomatic plates have 3 formats. 2-3 letters and a 1 (and can include the letter i like northern Irish plates) which is what this was. This was the diplomatic (flag) plate for FIJI, off the top of my head Iceland and Pakistan both use i's too. And then the 2 types are for diplomats and staff which are 3 numbers (representing the country) D for diplomats or an X for staff then 3 random letters. 123 D ABC / 123 X ABC
      Really cool plate spot.

    Love watching these videos even though I'm from NZ and know very little about London streets haha. Have you considered doing Taxi Bingo? Within one shift, see how much of a bingo card you can fill out with taxi-related things (eg: driving on certain street names, passenger wearing yellow clothing, witnessed a dangerous maneuver, passengers with specific occupations/interesting stories, high tip etc...)

    Enjoyed this. I was in London recently and took a black cab twice, just because of your great work and wanting to help out the trade. Also the skill of the driver to get me from place to place is great after watching your channel for last few years.
    I did Selfridges > Camden, and Chelsea > Kensington :D
