@TomtheTaxiDriver where did you buy your steering wheel leather cover
Re the leatherworks. Back in the day, urine was used in the tanning of leather. Poor people would take their pot of urine to the tannery and get a few coppers. If you were so poor that you didn’t have a pot, you were snookered. It’s where the saying, ‘didn’t have a pot to piss in’ came from, meaning your finances were at low tide.
Hence the phrase "Piss poor"
No, this is false. The term comes from the sentence "not to have a pot to piss in nor a window to throw it from". You can look it up and do the research since youtube doesn't like URLs.
Wtf
Him talking about his vacation while the number plate in front of him says Fiji 4:39 feels almost deliberate
The FIJ1 diplomatic plate was a cool spot!
@WithReeg it is. Diplomatic plates have 3 formats. 2-3 letters and a 1 (and can include the letter i like northern Irish plates) which is what this was. This was the diplomatic (flag) plate for FIJI, off the top of my head Iceland and Pakistan both use i's too. And then the 2 types are for diplomats and staff which are 3 numbers (representing the country) D for diplomats or an X for staff then 3 random letters. 123 D ABC / 123 X ABC
Really cool plate spot.
Love watching these videos even though I'm from NZ and know very little about London streets haha. Have you considered doing Taxi Bingo? Within one shift, see how much of a bingo card you can fill out with taxi-related things (eg: driving on certain street names, passenger wearing yellow clothing, witnessed a dangerous maneuver, passengers with specific occupations/interesting stories, high tip etc...)
Bingo alone would be boring though, so invite some of the other youtubing cabbies?
@@Stephan-H Heck yeah. A friendly contest between the youtubing cabbies. Assuming it's a digital card, can collab with cabbies around the world.
Loved getting your emails while you were away in Thailand! I’ve been revising for my GCSEs so it’s nice to remember there’s still a planet out there.
Good luck w the exams
Nice to see you back Tom. Any chance you could add the cost of the journey (as well as the mileage) to your shift videos?
Love to see you back in action TOM...
Please keep your videos coming... Thanks👍
Welcome back Tom. I've missed your informative videos these past 3 months. I hope your fully refreshed my friend.
Welcome home Tom - Absolutely love your fascinating shift videos. As a former Metropolitan Police driver I totally agree with you that there's nothing better than getting in your vehicle, listening to some tunes (in my case it was the police sirens) and taking in the sights of London🚔
Enjoyed this. I was in London recently and took a black cab twice, just because of your great work and wanting to help out the trade. Also the skill of the driver to get me from place to place is great after watching your channel for last few years.
I did Selfridges > Camden, and Chelsea > Kensington :D
Great to hear you had a good 2 months off.
You look well rested & renewed. Great to see the content but glad you were able to take some time to recharge!
Yay! So glad to see you back in the cab, these kind of videos are super relaxing to me
That`s amazing you can still remember all that after 2/3 months. After 3 days off work i can`t remember my pc login.
Straight back into cabbie rhythm, doing what you do best, love it! Cheered up my otherwise quiet Sunday 👌.
Great to see you back from your travels Tom, didn't take you long to get back into the swing of things again.
he's back, I need one of these vids every evening mate :D very informative and relaxing

Great to see you uploading videos! I think I subscribed just after you left for your trip, and have watched all your old videos waiting. I hope you'll have some great shifts ahead of you!
Welcome back! Visiting London in August and your videos always get me in the mood to visit that amazing city!
Great to have you back with your brilliant videos taxiing around London. Missed the videos badly but glad you enjoyed your time away.
Hi Tom , love that you are so positive and love the content.🙂
Another great video Tom . Keep up the good work mate ❤
Glad you’re back hope you enjoyed your travels it looked good on Instagram
I wondered why I'd not seen a video from you lately. Glad you're back. 🙂
Great work and nice to have you back, Tom. Always a brilliant watch.
That’s how it’s done! 👌 Great video Tom. Hopefully we’ll get more regular uploads now you’re back from your break 👍
Glad to see you back, hope you enjoyed your time off!
Glad to see you're back, Tom! Good hear you enjoyed your travels :)
looks like me back in the 80s .A new and gr8 job for me and full of enthusiasm.After 38 years you do lose a bit of the butterboy excitment.
Welcome back Tom ,hope you’ve had some good travels.
Love your optimism, love these videos, thoroughly enjoyable, wish you the best of success 😊
Welcome home mate good to see the vids back on UA-cam I’ve missed them
So happy you’re back! I’ve been driving a lot in London and I’ve started to get familiar with the roads and drive around without satnav when I can. It’s really fun to create your own mental map
Certainly good to see you back in your taxi! I always hope you get a great fare and it all goes smoothly and your amazing knowledge of the streets makes it all go well. I also think you must have an eagle eye to see a hand raised in the London dark streets another talent of yours. Great to see you back and catch you on your next journey.
Yes! Glad you're back!
Wow I missed this daily vlog so so much!!! Welcome back!
Good to see you back again. I enjoy your vlogs.
Welcome back! Didn't know you'd moved - was wondering how come Highgate was handy!
Hi Tom, discovered your channel while you were away, excited to see some new content!
Good to see you back. Glad you had a great holiday. I’ve solo travelled, was a bit nervous at first but had a great time and met lots of fun and interesting people.
Amazing vid glad your happy to be back
Missed your videos mate, glad you're back. I hope you enjoyed your holiday!

15:50 I used to work at 120 Holborn, there is a steady stream of people outside Sainsbury's HQ who need cabs - not sure why

Welcome back Tom. Good to have you back!
0:40 I have the opposite problem. Although I came back to work in December last year and had only taken short "days in lieu" leave, Google Maps still haven't updated street view for some of my local streets. There are even instances where the pictures are at least a year out of date.
Great to have you back mate
Great to see you back Tom 😍
Good to see you back 🙌
Good to see you back
Great vid, any idea how much a cab would be from Wembley arena to kings cross at around 11pm
About time you back in the saddle 😉 good to see you back
Good to see you back. Love the lingo like kipper season pay the legal. I also enjoy the titbits like taxio only or can’t totes for business or the man who only sells recipes so can you do a video on more of them and the green shelters abd out unique to taxes taxiing
excellent ,worth waiting for.
Any way to read your previous newsletters? Curious about your travel, costs etc
