    Interesting to be a fly on the wall as it were and see your working day. I have no idea why your video came up as a suggestion on my feed but glad it did. It made a change. Perhaps you could take us on the tour in another video ?.

    Fascinating watch ( as a yorkshireman) Good to see the good and the not so good of your day. I visit my daughter who lives in North London and get the train from Leeds with my bike. I love the sights, sounds and vibe of London. Good luck with the channel 😃👍🏼

    Great video. A bit long. Tom taxi channel got the length right. Maybe try putting a 360 camera on the outside of the cab. Getting a birds eyes view. London eats does it. Just a different point of view than all the other London cabbies channels

    Good lesson here for taxi drivers” it’s nice to have a good day how are you before the journey, Some drivers don’t say a word and it can feel uncomfortable Nice to know the driver is pleased for custom and showing you he isn’t a grumpy old git and is willing to listen if you have a preferred route, with out getting stroppy , cabbies are known for friendly banter . Well done 👍

    Really enjoyed this, honest day and no fibs about making lots of £ every day, I did black cabs myself for a few years up in Glasgow area and as you said good days and bad days, sometimes really good days where it's job after job, other days you wonder why you bother, but the job itself is brilliant, the flexibility, traveling, meeting new people, hearing their tales etc.
    I watch Tom and Marks taxi videos too and they are also great, will definitely be following for more videos 👍👍

    I visit London a few times a year for various things (shows, events, etc...) and I do like a good tour. Unfortunately my mobility has taken a bit of a knock in the last few months, making it difficult to walk far 😩
    Roughly how much are those taxi tours if I decided to have a go on one?

    Enjoyed the video. Very evident you put a lot of effort into the filming and it’s payed off. Theoretically, could you drive one of the original Austin Fx4s as a licensed taxi? Seeing as most are now considered a historic vehicle and ulez exempt

    It seems that each cabbie with a UA-cam channel seems to do a late shift, late morning to late evening. Im curious, do you think it would still be possible to make a decent amount of money working earlies? Say, early morning rush hour until 3 or 4 pm ish?

    • @Lifeofalondoncabbie
      @Lifeofalondoncabbie  7 місяців тому +3

      Hello Jon, to be honest my usual shift is 8-5 and I seem to do well, if i need to put in extra hours i usually work till 7pm, or work the odd weekends, the next video i will be putting out will be a very busy morning shift I did last week , keep tuned 👍

    Hi there, I like your style, which is somewhat different to the other cabbies on You Tube. I think it’s important to show the job from all perspective, and you seem to approach it in your own individual way, which makes it more entertaining for me. There isn’t a lot of point in replicating exactly what someone else is currently doing, which you most definitely don’t.

    I also was going to say your Driving Seat is on wrong side !!! ... Im surprised you ask every passenger 'Hows Your Day' ... after 25 years the novelty wears off !, me ( and my Other Cabbie Mates ) Never speak to the Passenger, unless they speak 1st !! But its not obligatory, just my preference ... Good Video, but my preference would be to make it shorter, or condense it more say 30 mins Max ...
