Call Sign has been literally inundated with drivers and their wives telling us the same thing - in the photo of Chas Kissin’s (P99J) accident last month, there appeared to be a face in the glass where Chas hit his head. Certainly no one connected to the magazine spotted the face prior to publication or afterwards – until the phone started to ring and ring and ring again!
   The cab is now as good as new, but the photo showing the indent where Chas was thrown forward hitting his face into the front windscreen and shattering that section of glass remains in Call Sign’s library and there in the remnants of the shattered glass is where the emailers and phone callers say they can see a face.
   Chas Kissin admits to being "very, very lucky." The reason for that statement was that considering the severity of the accident, Chas came out of it with a clean bill of health and just a few scratches on his face. He had been taken out of the cab on a stretcher and put into the ambulance virtually in a state of unconsciousness, yet other than those few scratches, you would never have thought that he had hit

his bumper, let alone driven into a lamppost at speed.
   "Someone was looking out for me," Call Sign’s Mr Grumpy told us afterwards, "because it would seem to be an impossibility to walk away from that accident physically unharmed." Following his release from hospital, Chas paid a visit to the cemetery where members of his family are buried and said a private ‘thank you’.
   Whose face is it? It is male and appears to be smiling, but has its eyes closed. Because the

magazine was published on the day the Pontiff died, several claimed that it might have been Pope John Paul? Certainly the mouth was indeed very similar?
   Chas smiled: "As a Jewish person, that would seem unlikely, but if there is something there, then whoever it is, believe me I am really grateful!"
   The April Call Sign referred to it as Chas’ miracle crash escape. It seems that the only question now is whether it was a real miracle…?

"The policy of the station is to allow disabled passengers requiring a taxi to go to the head of the queue of passengers and to be assisted by staff. This arrangement is for the benefit of disabled passengers and Taxi drivers are asked to take note of it. The PCO fully supports initiatives of this nature and would encourage all taxi drivers to be accommodating of the needs of those with disabilities."
