It started when the
Daily Mirror published the rare sight of a British Monarch travelling inside a London Taxi. This particular Metrocab was the first to run on Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) and is much ‘greener’ that the normal type of cab. It was then presented to HRH, The Duke of Edinburgh to replace his previous Metrocab which was about five years old.Then ‘Blower’, the
Evening Standard’s brilliant cartoonist, felt that the opportunity for a topical drawing had arrived and it went out in the ES of May 8th. But who could he use as the taxi company on the side door? Silly question. Who else…
