CONGRATULATIONS JON AND RACHEL …
But West Ham v Celtic!!!

While others are happy to take in a round of golf or a gentle
jog, Dial-a-Cab driver Jon Trevor (W94) is usually
competing in the most gruelling races imaginable. Known by the
rather innocuous title of Triathlons, they involve swimming,
cycling and running various distances with no break in between.
And when not doing the event for charity, he does it for fun!
But long-time West Ham supporter Jon has now gone one step beyond a
Triathlon – he has not just got married, but has married a
beautiful lady who is as passionate about Celtic as he is about
the Hammers!
With the couple looking like prince and princess, the ceremony took
place at Marylebone Town Hall on August 1st when Jon
nervously said I do in response to the Registrar asking
if he would take Rachel McLallie to be his wife? Two guests were
heard to mumble that Rachel deserved a penalty, while a third
guest said it was offside and began singing I’m forever blowing
bubbles! Once the jokes were out of the way, the very happy
couple were joined by relatives and close friends who celebrated
long into the night.
Call Sign wishes them both a long and
happy marriage, but hope that West Ham and Celtic are never
drawn against each other in a European cup-tie! |

choice to represent this trade. Bob told Call
Sign:
"The appointment of a taxi trade representative to the Board of TfL
is a tribute to the important role that London’s 25,000 licensed
taxi drivers play in the provision of our capital city’s public
transport. London’s status as a world city faces increasing
competition, and continued investment in an affordable,
integrated public transport is crucial if our capital is to
successfully withstand the challenges posed by our European
neighbours and the developing nations. I will work to build and
improve on our city’s existing transport infrastructure in an
effort to provide Londoners and visitors with a system which is
second to none."
Other new members on the TfL board include the Paralympic gold
medal winner Dame Tanni Grey-Thompson, who brings experience on
the use of transport by those with mobility problems and Steve
Wright, Chairman of the Licensed Private Hire Car Association.
The Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, said: "I am thrilled that we
have been able to assemble a board of quite staggering
expertise. Each and every member of the board is chock full of
the ideas, enthusiasm and energy that will propel the
improvements we intend to make to the capital’s public transport
system; especially to make it easier and safer to walk and
cycle.
Every member of the board knows that the decisions they take will
potentially impact on millions of lives. And they know that I am
determined to ensure the new Mayoralty differs from the last by
listening to Londoners and then acting on what they say. There
are eight million experts on getting round London who live in
our city and their opinions will be crucial in helping us
provide the capital with a transport system that is safe,
pleasant and easy to use."
The Mayor had previously appointed three members of the board, Tim
Parker (Chairman), Kulveer Ranger and Steve Norris, while seven
previous board members have been reappointed. They are
Christopher Garnett (Deputy Chairman), Tony West, Eva Lindholm,
Mike Hodgkinson, Patrick O’Keeffe, Judith Hunt and Peter
Anderson.
There were 165 applications to join the board. The Mayor was
required to ensure that together the members of the Board have
experience in the impact of transport on business and the
environment, finance, local government, management of
organisations and the organisation of trade unions. He was also
required to consider that the membership of the board represents
the interests of women and people with mobility problems.
The term of appointment for board members extends to 45 days after
the Mayoral election in 2012, although the Mayor can terminate
these appointments at any time. |
