DaC Call Taker Jos Pearce Finally Gets the Knowledge!
The July issue of Call Sign told how excited DaC call taker Jos Pearce was at being on the verge of passing her Knowledge. She just had her suburbs and 'drive' to do to become the owner of that coveted green badge. But it wasn't that simple... After five long years on the KoL, Jos could be forgiven for believing that the hard work had gone - especially when she did her suburbs without too many problems.
She failed her first drive because she was so nervous, then the second when she parked in front of someone's driveway! Then she failed for a third time before finally clinching it at the fourth attempt! "It all helps to make me realise how special this badge is," said Jos, "getting it was really difficult and that's how it should be. Now excuse me, I've got a living to earn...!"
Well done, Jos.

Looking stunning, Joanna gets her degree

The last time Dial-a-Cab Call Taker Joanna Clegg made Call Sign was in October 2001, when she left Brunswick Place to live in Spain for a year as part of her Spanish degree course. She said she wanted to return and she did - fluent in Spanish and also well on the way to a degree in drama and theatre studies.
  Of her four-year course at the University of Surrey, 22 year-old Joanna told Call Sign that it was hard but always enjoyable. But that hard work paid off in July when in the beautiful surroundings of Guildford Cathedral, Joanna received the fruits of her four year labour of love - a BA (Hons) in Spanish and Drama / theatre studies. Congratulations Joanna....
