mailshot
Mailshot is your chance to tell the subscribers of Dial-a-Cab exactly what you think. Complaints, compliments or just to write about Call Sign.   This is YOUR paper within your magazine....
You can also email your letters to: callsignmag@aol.com

Call sign regularly gets correspondence from other countries but always puts our own drivers first when space is tight. Being the season of cheer, this month I have included some of the ‘foreign’ letters that have been gathering dust!

GREAT MAG
As a regular Internet reader of your great mag, would it be possible to send me an original magazine each issue rather than having to download it as I note that you do not put the complete mag up on-line. I would be happy to pay the appropriate postage. I am a former London taxi driver (though never on radio) and now drive a cab in Philadelphia on a semi-retired basis. I enjoy the sense of keeping in-touch that Call sign provides and I thank you for putting it up there.

Sorry Tony, you will have to keep reading via the Internet. Yours is one of many overseas requests that we get for original copies and I hope that by printing your letter the others will take note. If we were to start sending Call Sign around the world in addition to the mailing list we already have such as those on long-term sickness, some retired drivers and other trade VIP’s (not forgetting drivers), we’d have to employ someone full-time to deal with it! Sorry…Ed

MERRY CHRISTMAS / HAPPY CHANUKAH
I would like to wish everyone on Dial-a-Cab a very happy Christmas or Chanukah and to thank all those lovely drivers who remained in touch. I do still miss Stanley - I miss him very much but I have learned to live with the fact that he is not here any more. I have some wonderful memories of our times together and they will always remain with me. There aren’t many Stanley Hall’s in this world and he was irreplaceable, but thanks to people’s kindness’, I have learned to adapt. So my best wishes go to you all at this time of year and once again, thank you…
Mrs Brenda Hall
Southend

BEEPIN’ TERMINALS
I have just read C.Walters letter (Oct Mailshot) and you failed to answer one of the most important points - the safety issue. When all these messages are coming onto the terminal, it is not only unsafe (very) and annoying (very), but very, very unprofessional. Do you think our clients enjoy the constant beeping of the terminals with the consequent driver’s reaction?
Jon Trevor (W94)

I asked around whether any client had ever complained about the beeping and the answer was no. If a driver insisted on reading messages the instant they appeared and kept colliding with parked cars, then any passenger would feel unsafe. But the idea of the bleep is to tell you that something is there waiting to be read. As professionals, we have to make sure that there is no danger when we read the message. In my view, the important part of Colin Walter’s letter was that it succeeded in getting some ‘unnecessary’ canned messages taken out. Which goes to show that it is always worth writing to Mailshot if you have a good suggestion. Incidentally, Jon, I recently spent one night on Radio Taxis (Mountview) and their beep is more like an alarm clock!…Ed
