Dial-a-Cab driver Clive Pammont (M09) thought he had just
a normal twosome in his cab when he picked up Nikola Kuehne
and Mr P. LeBian from Morgan Stanley, Docklands, a
few days before Christmas. Mr LeBian may have been quite normal,
but his lovely travelling partner, Nikola, certainly looked
different by the time she got out of Clive’s cab! “I saw this very attractive young lady get in,” Clive told Call Sign with a smile as the memory of the day returned. “Looking back, I remember a few drivers smiling at me as we passed, but took little notice. Then, when we arrived at their destination – the Bleeding Hart restaurant in Bleeding Hart Yard – this young, attractive lady had turned into Father Christmas!” |
What a Bleeding (Hart) Christmas!
|
Clive continued with the story. “I didn’t like to ask, but was
obviously staring at her! She told me that it was her
department’s Christmas party and that she was going to hand out
the prezzies!” As for Nikola, her only comment to Call Sign was that the beard itched but that everyone thought her outfit was great! We’ll go along with that. It certainly brightens up a dismal February day! |
TAXI BREAKDOWN ASSISTANCE… And a special offer for Dial-a-Cab drivers… |
CABSURANCE have come up
with another winner! For an annual premium of only £99 you
are covered against breakdown in your taxi. The RAC will attempt
to get you started should you have a problem either at home or
whilst you are out working. There are no limits as to the number
of times you can call for help in any one year and your taxi can
be covered irrespective of which model of purpose built taxi you
have. This is superior cover to most other policies available
which limit the number of call outs. Should the RAC be unable to
fix the problem, they will arrange for your taxi to be towed to
the taxi garage of your choice. You can obtain further details or arrange cover at any of the Cabsurance four offices at Seven Kings, Dunbridge Street, KPM’s showroom in Bethnal Green or Taxi Media at the Oval. A phone call to 0208 597 2622 with your credit card details is also sufficient if you cannot find the time to visit their offices. Fleet owners and owner-drivers are able to have this cover on any age of taxi, so it is not surprising that Cabsurance are being besieged with enquiries for their new policy. SPECIAL OFFER FOR DIAL-A-CAB DRIVERS… The normal price is £99 for 12 months breakdown cover, but for all new policies taken up during the months of February and March 2008, Dial-a-Cab members will receive a 10% discount. Don’t leave it until it’s too late! Call 0208 597 2622 now… |

method of advertising and has itself promoted causes through
this medium. However, when issuing receipts drivers are reminded
