Call Sign November 2008 - Page 30 - RED 40! My daughters getting married!

Alan Jones (R40) has been on Dial-a-Cab for more years than he cares to remember – so much so that he is remembered more for the habit of shouting his callsign down the microphone in the days of voice, rather than whispering a gentle hello as befitted the gentleman’s circuit!
   But now, in the days of data transmission where silence in the cab comes along with the territory, Alan once again had reason to shout when telling Call Sign: "RED 40! My daughter’s getting married!"
   After settling back down in his cab seat, he told us of his pride at seeing his gorgeous daughter Nicky walking down the isle when marrying new hubby John Richards.
   "The day went unbelievably well," Nicky added. "It was just so special to have my dad, who I love with all my heart, by my side. I was so proud! We also used one of the lovely London Legend Limousine Taxis that advertise in Call Sign and that helped the day go so magically.

RED 40! My daughters getting married!

Much of that was thanks to all the love and support that mum and dad have given us with the organisation of the

wedding. I feel so lucky…"
To Nicky and John Richards and of course the RED 40 family, we send our congratulations…!

MERCS: WAS CALL SIGN RIGHT?

In Berkeley Square recently, I saw this PH vehicle complete with roundel in the rear window and an identical looking flash along the side to that the Merc taxi has – except that it read Eurocab.
The driver saw me taking the photo and called out to me. He had both thumbs up and said: "We all look the same now!"
Call Sign said they would end up being confused with taxis and I fear it was right…
