yet!" said Tony. |

Dial-a-Cab driver Tony Byfield (D4) has taken the plunge and, together
with his wife and two children, is emigrating to his wife Margje's country
of birth, Holland. "We've been there to visit family so many times now that it almost feels like home anyway" Tony told Call Sign. "In addition, both my children are bi-lingual. Emma (6) is fluent, while Nicholas (3) speaks to Margje in Dutch. To be honest, my own Dutch revolves around "hello" and "goodbye" but I intend going to college when we get there." Tony and Margje's final destination is the lovely town of |
Alkmaar, which is about 20k north of Amsterdam and just a ten-minute
ride from the Noordzee (North Sea) coast. Tony intends to be one of a growing band of licensed London taxi drivers who live in Holland yet still work in London driving a taxi. "It won't be easy," said Tony, "but the travelling between the two countries will be the easy part! Working out schedules of which hours to work may be the difficult bit! At the moment, I'm considering doing one weeks solid work on the cab and then staying in Alkmaar for the next three weeks." Will he be driving a local cab |
