As Call
Sign announced the return to Hyde Park of Winter
Wonderland for six-weeks of festive fun, the organisers
chose this magazine to run an exclusive competition where we
were given 100 tickets for the invitation-only launch night on
November 19. We decided to offer up to four tickets per prize,
which still gave us 25 prizes to see the park thronging with DaC
drivers, wives, girlfriends and children, mixing freely with
invited celebs and press. We had originally wondered whether enough drivers would be interested, but we needn’t have worried. Call Sign received what was probably by far the highest number of entrants into any competition EVER in any taxi trade paper! Incredibly we had a total of 524 entries, the majority asking for four tickets. We also had a large number from non-DaC drivers who told us that their DaC friends were going and they’d like to accompany them. Sadly we had to totally discount those. We even had one online reader from the Czech Republic who wanted to enter the competition, saying that he would be in London visiting his mother on that day! Sorry, but again it was no! Winter Wonderland runs from Saturday 21st |

HAVE BARBEQUE WILL TRAVEL And especially for Dial-a-Cab drivers! |
If you are an expert at making a
barbeque, this won’t interest you. But if everything you cook in
the
garden comes out underdone or tasting like rubber – and
especially if you don’t own barbeque equipment but have always
wanted to make a barbeque in your own garden, then listen up!Many of you will know Oscar, who for several years has been copying drivers vinyl to CD and videos to DVD. But we bet you didn’t know that for generations his family have been master cooks with his great-grandfather’s recipe for kofte still tasting as delicious now as it did when he first tried it! Oscar is no different and is brilliant at barbequing. He has now set up in business with SIZZLES. He will come to your house, set up safely in your garden and provide you and however many guests you have with sizzling hot delicious food from the charcoal barbie grill, straight onto your plate. Oscar gives you two options: 1. He can provide all the food (plus rice, salad and pitta bread) including his self-marinated chicken wings and great grandfathers recipe kofte, plus of course mini burgers and bring it all round to you and cook it in your garden or... 2. You can go out and buy whatever barbeque food you want and Oscar will barbeque it to perfection as well. Whatever you choose to do, Oscar will come with his barbeque equipment and cook perfectly for you. If you are a fan of charcoal cooked food – and there can’t be many that aren’t - this could be ideal for you, your friends and family. You can book SIZZLES for birthdays, anniversaries or just any excuse for a party! You can get more details on 0208 518 8765 or 07902 246 354. Just ask for Oscar and tell him you’re with Dial-a-Cab. He’ll give you a great deal... |

DVLA launches new vehicle tax line |
|
The DVLA has launched a new
memorable 0300 telephone line for motorists to tax their
vehicles. The number is 0300 1234 321, it is available 24
hours a day, 7 days a week and is said to takes less than 4
minutes to use. The service automatically checks that correct
insurance and MOT documents are in place. The popularity of the environmentally friendly phone and online service is growing, with more than half of last month’s vehicle tax renewals completed that way. Andrew Rhodes, the DVLA’s Director of Products and Services, told Call Sign: "We listened when our customers told us they wanted the option to interact digitally with the DVLA and we are constantly aiming to improve our services. By providing a new memorable renewal number, we hope to make it even easier for motorists to tax their vehicle." Those wanting to apply on line can still do so at www.direct.gov.uk/taxdisc. |
