I had that Quantas in the back the other day...


Paid for banter from our favourite ambassadors of London, the venerable Hackney Cab driver. Heard about this on the radio this morning and then found an article about it here. Got something to sell? Get a cabbie to recommend it to their hapless passenger and sit back and wait for the phones to start ringing off the hook.

The Thai tourist board are trialling it, having sent Mr Torlini, a cabbie of 9 years standing, on an all expenses paid trip to experience the delights of Thailand. “It’s not all ping-pong shows you know” he quipped. I'm booking my flights as we speak.

If you fancy a bit of an insight to life behind the wheel, have a look at "All in a days work", the brilliant blog of a london cabby.
