I've been a taxi driver for 18 years i only work 3 to 4 days a week im soo tired of the the job but when watch your videos and toms you make it sound soo glamorous
Have you ever, ever not known where a customer wants to go?..amazing that somebody can say a random road and you just say no problem and away you go..!..well done and love rhe vids...
I am watching at 4am as I can't sleep - I guessed 12 quid! So close! Love the videos Mark, considered doing the knowledge back in 2005, until I met a bloke in a pub who gave me a job!
Yes, his channel is really improving with each new vlog. And it's a welcome escape from all the political rubbish we Americans are incessantly being bombarded with.
I guessed £8.60 whoops - was quite a way off unfortunately. By the way, is the U-turn over the double-whites at 26:35 allowed or is there a gray area in the rules about this?
Nice 1 Again Mark 👍👍Top Vlog and Info as always👌. I guessed £8.80.You would have to be very brave to go up in one of those Flying Taxi's 😂especially when windy. Looking forward to your next Vlog 👍👍
Super busy with Xmas shoppers and the amount of people who come to see those lights also ‘Winter Wonderland’ which they are already setting up for. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
I guessed £11.60 ... Your video's are making me feel like I need to go back out in the cab. But I've forgotten so many roads. I've not been out since covid ... My badge is up next April.
There was a second Doctor Who link in this video. Shad Thames was used as a filming location for an 80's Daleks adventure 'Resurrection of the Daleks'.
Thnk you for another enjoyable upload . A bit random, I know, but I'm interested in your glasses. Particularly the lenses. Are they "driving lenses" such as drive safe, are they polarised or are they normal every day lenses. As a spectacle wearing pdi, the different lens options, including for driving, is incredible....and a little confusing.
I guessed 12 ish pounds so pretty close! I wonder how much the Baker Street -> Golders Green one costed, don't think I've taken a taxi for a similar distance journey so would be a challenge to guess that one!
i made it 12.50 when i first started driving it would have been about 2 shillings in fact from Victoria Station to Cambridge Circus was i think 1shilling and nine pence
Hi mark good morning hope you are doing a great job and having fun making some brilliant videos superstar Ali Walsall west midlands england junction 10 m6 Walsall churckery up the walsall
Nice one! I think I’m going to turn this into a competition then sort out a prize for the winner maybe it will be a ride! Let me know your thoughts. I’ll announce the winner the following week 🙏🏻
Mark is now my No. 1 taxi TH-cam guy. A certain other cabbie, keeps showing me sponsor info. I pay for TH-cam premium & do not want any type of sponsor or advert in the middle of the presentation - thanks Mark. I guessed the cab fare would be 10.80 GBP, so I was out a quid. Not bad for a Londoner now living in Florida! Interesting about the woman taking a cab from Fortnums to Harrods. Has she ever hear of the tube? Piccadilly Circus, one min walk from Fortnums, 3 stops to Knightsbridge and Harrods is there. How lazy can you get? I know, Mark makes money this way and good luck to him, but the tube cost is 2.80 GBP. Yes, it is a pain having to walk down escalators and back up, but a damn site quicker.
Why should people take the train if they prefer the comfort and convenience of the taxi? So what if it's a bit more expensive. If you can afford it go for it.
Hello Florida! And thank you for your kind words 🙏🏻 that job comes out a lot from there so I can’t complain really. Appreciate your support and can you send some of that weather over btw
Mark, I agree that you and your channel get better every episode. I appreciate you very much!
I appreciate your support of the channel means a lot to me. 🙏🏻
I've been a taxi driver for 18 years i only work 3 to 4 days a week im soo tired of the the job but when watch your videos and toms you make it sound soo glamorous
I love it! Thanks for watching! 🙏🏻
Have you ever, ever not known where a customer wants to go?..amazing that somebody can say a random road and you just say no problem and away you go..!..well done and love rhe vids...
I wonder who will insure a flying taxi! Thanks for watching watching 🙏🏻
I am watching at 4am as I can't sleep - I guessed 12 quid! So close! Love the videos Mark, considered doing the knowledge back in 2005, until I met a bloke in a pub who gave me a job!
Your channel is always getting better! Deserves a much larger audience! What’s your most famous or infamous political figure you’ve given a ride to?
Yes, his channel is really improving with each new vlog. And it's a welcome escape from all the political rubbish we Americans are incessantly being bombarded with.
Probably Roger Moore he was a real gent. Sadly missed now. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
I love your apartment block with the central open hall
Excellent video as always. 😀👍
Thank you! Cheers!
I guessed £12, which I was pretty pleased with, however I am a cabbie as well, so a bit of an advantage! 😂 another great video by the way! 👌🏼
Always a fun day out with you.
Another great video Mark. You went past my old workplace in Victoria and one of my favourite cafes in Clifford St on this one. Keep them coming ❤
Glad you enjoyed it
Hi mark another interesting video and insight as a black cab driver be lucky
Thank you 🙏🏻
I guessed £8.60 whoops - was quite a way off unfortunately. By the way, is the U-turn over the double-whites at 26:35 allowed or is there a gray area in the rules about this?
Was that the Baker Street? Probably not! But I’m not going all way down Bstreet looking for a U, my customers would go crazy 😊 thanks for watching 🙏🏻
When you do your shifts in the taxi, do you stick to a schedule or do you do different hours?
Nowadays I stick to the same, days only up at 7.15 back home between 5-6 pm. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

You mentioned that the Christmas lights were starting to go up. How is Taxi business during the Christmas season ?

Slightly less! Thanks for watching buddy hope I didn’t wake up Alex 🤪
I guessed £11.60 ... Your video's are making me feel like I need to go back out in the cab. But I've forgotten so many roads. I've not been out since covid ... My badge is up next April.
