how the other half lives | |
What do Dial a Cab drivers' other halves really think of
their partners as taxi drivers and of the way of life it invariably involves? Do they love
it or loathe it? Call Signs Aisling Gavin went undercover to find out more... According to our survey of Dial a Cab drivers, on average most of you spend
just four waking hours per day at home with your family. If you are not in the cab, you
are either sleeping or socialising away from home. # Flushing the toilet either late at night or early in the morning

Many wives / girl friends - particularly in
the older age group - had given their husbands / boyfriends an ultimatum during their
relationship, telling them to either reduce the hours spent in the cab or else... Brenda and Mike Crane have been happily married for 31 years. Both are now aged 51 and Mike has reduced his hours so that he can get home by 3.00 pm. This enables him to spend more time together with Brenda and also the rest of his family. Whilst Brenda was anxious that Mike slow down for his own sake and spend more time with the family, many other wives / girlfriends have different motivations for wanting their men to stay home. Gardening, DIY and a better bedside manner scored highly among the list of extra curricular activities drivers other halves would like to see improved...(Editors note: Sorry Aisling, a better bedside manner? What exactly are you insinuating here??) On a more serious note, Barbara, wife of Russell Poluck, Vice-Chairman of the Taxi Driver of the Year Committee, is one of a growing number of women and men who are anxious about their partner's safety when they are driving in London. Barbara Poluck says: "Particularly at this time of year, when it is getting dark so early, Russell always carries a mobile phone or is contactable on the radio. I do worry about Russell and like to speak to him throughout the day." If you are the partner of a DAC driver, let Call Sign know what you think of your partners job and the lifestyle that accompanies it |
