THE REAL SANTA CLAUS CHOOSES DIAL-A-CAB

The real Santa Claus flew into London from Finland on Saturday 21st of November, but before he arrived he had already chosen London’s premier taxi circuit to pick him up and transport him during his hectic visit. Apparently Rudolph had been given a week off in order to prepare for the big night although the dreaded word ‘quarantine’ was mentioned.
   Santa Claus spent Saturday and Sunday visiting two children’s hospitals and a children’s home.
   On Monday he gave his day to Dial-a-Dream, the charity that originated in Brunswick House and which makes dreams become a reality for terminally ill children.
   With Paul Tully (Y40) as his driver and Tom Whitbread as his chaperon, Santa was taken to the Royal Marsden in Sutton. While at the hospital he met children who were suffering from cancer and leukaemia. The sheer looks of joy on the faces of the children brought tears to the eyes of onlookers.
   Santa Claus has promised to return to England next year and

will only use Dial-a-Cab as his official transport if the quarantine laws on Rudolf aren’t lifted.
Sadly, some of the children he met will not have the chance to meet him again, but they have had a dream to remember.

THE SAVAGE CLAMP

It was early November and a large corporate account client that use both Computer Cab and Dial-a-Cab and who are based not a million miles from Peterborough Court EC4, sent out invitations to representatives of all the suppliers of different facilities that are needed to help with the smooth running of a successful, Geoff Kaley (5518 bytes)

world-famous corporation. So, representing their taxi suppliers were DaC Chairman Brian Rice and Com Cab MD Geof Kaley. The setting was The Savage Club in Whitehall Court (same building as the National Liberal Club).
   Brian Rice turned up in a DaC taxi and intended going to Waterloo Station after the function for the return to his Hampshire home. However. Geof Kaley had his Cherokee Jeep parked nearby and as he lives in the deep south-west as well, offered to give Brian a lift home - which he gratefully accepted.
   Following the very pleasant reception and a few good-byes, the twosome left The Savage Club to find Geof’s car. It was exactly where it had been left but with the addition of a bright yellow clamp!
   Following a few expletives that rarely find their way into Call Sign or Link, Mr Kaley phoned the clampers and paid via a credit card. But the REAL problem was the invariably long wait associated with the unclamping procedure.

Standing by the car and scratching their heads, suddenly a Goldman Sachs executive walked past and, trying desperately not to laugh at the unfortunate predicament of two radio taxi company executives standing by a clamped car, suggested they leave the car and go home by taxi - "… after all" he said, "you Brian Rice (7100 bytes)

must have a few between you!"
   "Good idea" said Geof Kaley, "I’ll phone for one - it’ll be here in a few minutes."
   "I don’t think so" replied the DaC Chairman, "there is no way that I am going to get into a Com Cab taxi. What if someone saw me - I’d become a laughing stock! No, thanks but we’ll call one of ours. It’ll be here in no time."
   The Com Cab MD frowned.
   "Sorry, Brian, but I’m not going to get into a Dial-a-Cab taxi, I’ve got a reputation to uphold!"
   So, if you pass The Savage Club and see two very irritated, smartly dressed men standing by a Cherokee Jeep, please don’t laugh - it could be you one day! Just pass by slowly and wish them both a very happy Christmas…
