      VPNs do not secure you in any way now of course. Actually it's a bit stupid using a VPN to be honest with you because that's face it all of your traffic goes down the same tunnel down the same pathway and then hey who likes to buy your data? Yes now you're getting it if the government wants your data they have it all in one place they can just ask nord VPN for your data. Let's not forget the fact that there are many other ways of tracking you a VPN does not protect you from anything.

    Hi Tom, I see a lot of cabs with decals/ vinyl advertisements on them. Is it the individual drivers' decision whether to have these on their cabs, or is it a outside decision made by tfl or a 3rd party. What benefits are there for the cabs/ drivers with these on?

    • @ragnkja
      @ragnkja Рік тому +2

      It’s up to the owner of each taxi to decide whether to have adverts on the cab or not, but they don’t necessarily have much control over which adverts they get if they choose to have them.

    7:18 you did not mention the centre Arch of Admiralty Arch is only suppose to be used by the Queen/King to drive from the Mail to Trafalgar Square. Hence the Royal coat of arms above the arch. So the Americans should feel like Royalty going through the middle arch. But I did not know the fact about Nelsons Fleet so your video's are educational.

    I don't know how you drive around in the course of a shift and worry if you have taken a job of another cabbie? I'm assuming it's because you're reasonably well known and fear the backlash? Really at the end of the day is it that big of a deal if you took that fare at 13:53 in this video? Win some lose some.
