    Thanks Ollie, great video as usual. From the top of Poland St isn't it easier to left and u turn further down Oxford St instead of the annoying turnaround?

    • @ALondonCabbie
      @ALondonCabbie  4 месяца назад +1

      I did think about that, although sometimes customers can think you’re “lost” or playing games, by turning one way, then Uturning. Also traffic on Oxford Street can be awful going west towards Oxford Circus and I didn’t want to do that, get stuck in traffic and then u turn. It could come across like I’ve done it on purpose to get stuck in traffic. Thanks for watching and commenting, I’m truly grateful for tips like the one you’ve just given and if you see anymore in other videos please let me know. 👍

    Another amazing video from you. Thank you mate.
    You are inspirational for people like me on the knowledge.
    What is the name of the app you are using which shows the AZ map?
    I need that for my learning.

      Great video again Olly. I like it when you interact (face on camera) makes the video seem more personal.
      Can I ask why you always pick those hours to work please?
      Is it the most profitable or busiest or does it just suit you individually? Cheers

    • @ALondonCabbie
      @ALondonCabbie  4 месяца назад +1

      Thank you. I’m now starting to try and make the videos a bit more personal. I just like those hours. I hate getting up early and in previous jobs I’ve always tried to work a “late shift”. I will eventually do an early shift but I’ll certainly feel almost lost and out of place. I plan on doing a proper night shift I’m a few weeks time. I haven’t done one for a while. Thanks for tuning in again and for commenting 👍

      Thank you for taking the time out to comment. As said below, I use Cabbies mate. On the knowledge it will really help out, I used to have it on my phone continuously while pointing, then on my iPad for later revision or getting a better view.

      Thank you Jimmy. My longest fare (street hail) was a Leighton Buzzard off Euston. I’ve drove the cab to Scotland but sadly that was a family trip 😅

      Afternoon Mark. I always run Unify, although I will do the occasional ComCab or Gett job, especially for going home.

    How many of your jobs are cash these days ? Not many I bet.

    • @ALondonCabbie
      @ALondonCabbie  4 месяца назад

      They’re very few and far between. I can go a week or two without a cash fare
