Cartoon Capers
Dial-a-Cab recently featured in London's evening paper, the Evening
Standard, once again with a cartoon depicting frustrated tube-travellers
waiting on the platform. Drawn on the platform wall is an advert for
Dial-a-Cab, with a London Underground logo and the following words
underneath, "Is it driving you round the bend? Then try
Dial-a-Cab." Naturally, it then gives our booking-line phone number!

agreeing to take part in some dietary research. Gary, who drives a cab in
addition to working at BH, is trying to win a trip to New York in return
for beating other overweight people in a weight loss competition. The
heading of the article: Flabby Cabbies are Meat and Drink to Scientists
was hardly flattering, but as Gary told Call Sign:
"They can say what they like if they let me win the
trip...!"
