💯 mate.
All of them won't charge a family gping to great ormond street either. Top guys.
My old man had a heart attack in Moorgate and black cabby got him up up to Bethnal Green hospital prob saved his life and refused payment as well ever since I always use cabs when in town so important we protect them as more than just taxi part of the fabric of London
Haha 😂 like some normal geezer wouldn’t do that ! Your ducking delusional son
I should think so too.
@@ricksterk7014 haha a crack head would have done the same
@@shsh-he5qg guess it was just a normal geezer that’s kind of the point. Unfortunately not everyone is the same and London can be a cold place for too many it’s easier to look to the floor rather than disrupt their day
A dnt think this happend it would of took fuking ages he would of decomposed before he got there. 😂
My dad was a black cabbie for 47 years, and he retired about 10 years ago. He was the cabbie that Tommy Cooper put a little brown envelope into Dad's shirt pocket and said, "Have a drink on me, cabbie. "..
My old man opened it and it was a tea bag.
He picked up Princess Diana a few times, Brian Moore, Eric Morecombe, kicked Kyle Minogue out because she was so drunk and mouthy with her hubby, picked up Clint Eastwood and John Cleese in the same week.
He asked Clint for an autograph, and Clint said, "I'll shake your hand, don't do autographs."
Timothy Spall, Spike Milligan. These are the ones I can recall.
He found a huge bag of jewellery and brought it home. It was like an Addidas sports bag full... he handed it in, and it turned was it was from a hotel room robbery of Liz Taylor she never even gave him a thank you.
I enjoyed reading that ,hope your dads enjoying retirement 👍
My dad has a touch of that bastard dementia.
He dunno what he had for breakfast but he'll know Heathow to London Wall in a heartbeat
My Dad was best friends with Frank Sinatra and was best man at Oliver Reeds wedding. 🙄
What a lovely memories 🤍
@@NH-bz9jv bollox was he. That was my old man and he didn't have any bastard sons 🤣😂
My dad was a London taxi driver make no mistake the knowledge is one hard nut to crack you have to memorise 25000 streets and know all the points of interest and all the one way systems and no entry’s and one way streets everything. Extremely tough and difficult to do
And you have to ensure that you are taking the fastest route, too. None of the other cabs that are using GPS apps😂 do that. They take you the long way too.
Earning upwards of 80k a year, I think i would have memorised all the roads.
Been to Aaron’s shows and bought the T-Shirt. 🤣 Don’t matter how high this journey takes him, it will not be high enough. Salt of the earth geezer and special individual. ❤️ great interview Liam
decades ago, I drove a Yellow Cab out of Greenwich, South London. These were black cabs painted yellow, but were actually minicabs. The black cab community was up in arms about it. I remember being chased by group of cabs near Little Venice, the same along the Embankment, and a black cab tried to run me into some roadworks along the Old Kent Road. One day, I was parked up in Greenwich, when a black cab pulled up behind and the driver got out and came towards me. He tapped on my window and I pulled it down, expecting some hassle. He had tears in his eyes, saying, 'mate, this was my first cab, I can't believe it's still going, do you mind if I have a sit down in it? It was a 1972 Austin taxi. He was in the driver's seat, reminiscing, and I was leaning on the door window listening, when a car load of police turned up, thinking there was some trouble! 😂
Your mum will be very proud xxx
My Daughter's always use Black Taxis, They support them whole heartedly because Their Dad is a Black Taxi cab driver,took him 3years to do his knowledge on a moped.❤
In the chaos of the Grenfell Tower fire, firefighters' fire engines were unable to leave the scene, and firefighters could not return to their fire stations when going off duty. Black cabbies transported devastated firefighters back to their stations across the capital FOR NO CHARGE.
I have never cried & laughed so much in one sitting.
I can totally relate to what this man went through with the knowledge, im doing it here in Dublin! Not half as bad as London doh😮
Im so sorry about your mam ❤😢
Your mothers strength came out of pure love, trust me the gingers are special i have 2 and i am one myself 😅
Liam, your podcasts are getting better and better 🎉
❤
This cabbie came up on ‘recommended for me’ a few months back. Been watching him ever since. Really enjoy his material. I agree with him on lots of stuff.
Apple through a tennis racket.. stop it.. 🤣🤣🤣… xxx
There's a TAXI war brewing here in Blackpool between the established drivers and the 'other mob'
My dad was a cab driver back in the day, everyone knew my dad, when he'd had enough of driving he went into the office working as a radio operator, he worked for em all and was massively respected. It was a different game then, up and down the prom "a pound a lump to the Tower or the Pleasure Beach". His fellow drivers were salt of the earth, proper honest hard working guys.
His partener Brian refused a fair at a Political Party Conference, a guy was getting in the cab with his dog "your'e not getting in this cab pal it's just been valeted" Imperial Hotel driver thank you "i said you're not getting in here with that dog get the one behind" - "Do you know who i am ? i'll have you're badge" it was only David Blunkett, he got another cab 🤣 and Brian was never gonna lose his badge 🤣🤣
Great conversation guys.
Blackpool Private hire drivers are stupid, I have a Manchester private hire vehicle, took my kids (4 and 2) last week only to be “followed” by a private hire driver, I pulled to the side on the promenade 16:55 and the driver pulled next to me and started to give me a “lecture” over where my stickers were, tried to explain look at my kids and now you can F off, what amazed me more than him being blind and stupid, he worked for Wolverhampton 😂😂😂 wtf is going on life
Lost loved ones are always by our side, watching over and guiding us through the challenging times. Great episode Mr Liam sir ✌🏽
Been watching his videos for a while now.
Top geezer!
Sincere condolences for the loss of your Mum Aaron.
brilliant podcast liam, what a decent honest hard working man he is, up the black cabbies
Mad Respect for Aaron, especially to open up like that about something so close. ❤
This guy is a character, like him very much
Up the Johns best bloke on the internet 😂😂😂😂
The black cabs in London are legendary! I would always get one of these over the Uber's if given the option.
This fella needs his own app I would use this geeza every single time.
Liam, I wish I had your mentality and your energy. I am in such a dark place at the moment. I just can't get myself out of no matter how much i try. When I watch your videos, it makes me forget and laugh just for that little bit, so thank you.
It was hard listening to him talk about his mum, especially because I lost my mum at the end of February. The pain is unbearable ❤💔
Keep believing things will improve and persevere with self development, feed word mind with kind words, exercise as often as you can and avoid anything that gives you a crash / dip…. Don’t give up 💪🏼
@LiamTuffs Nice one for your advance it's appreciated. I will be giving it a go. Hopefully, I'll get through this. I've got a family who needs me
Nice to see someone be honest say how it is and also touch with reality of life.
Had the pleasure of meeting Aaron as a fellow London taxi driver one day at the taxi feder park at Heathrow and seemed a very nice person🙏🏼
Great Interview. Top man. Up the Cabbies ❤
This man is quality 🏴🇬🇧 always use a black cab! Drivers are great & full of great information
Fantastic Aaron, 😢 brought it all back, A woman of such courage, bless her xxx Proud without a doubt. X
😂 your posh voice is hilarious!
Man thought he could give the police money 🤣🤣🤣.
& got angry when they said no
I know. What a Wally. 😂
Black cabbies are always nice I remember I got had 12 quid on me amd I was lost in Liverpool Street and had to get to old kent road asking for ditectionsas i didn't have a lot of money on me and he said jump in mate and I said ut 12 quid okay and he said yes of course as they as your home sfafty is normally more but as long you you get home safety that all that matter couldn't thanks him enough

What an amazing interview that was , I absolutely love it , thanks for for sharing, sending love from Bonnie Scotland ❤️🏴
This plum would remove his bottom ribs if it ment he could nosh himself off but he'd still have trouble getting past the tripe.
Out of all the podcasts I could of watched who would of thought one of the most fascinating would be a black cabbies . Another great podcast
Very kind. ❤
The cab driver in certain northern towns should be on jail or deported not running the country.
But london cabbies have my full respect, that test they do is mental.
I loved this!! I've watch every one you've posted... love them all!!
I rarely press the 'like' button tho which I need to consciously make a effort to do more to support your channel .. but I listen in bed with the lights off all cozy on bed. And listen intently.
What a way to end the day 💥 .x.
The world famous back cabs of London is an institution and the cabbies are unique they should be revered and protected . Much respect to all the black cabbies and what it represents its also a symbol for the working class. Much respect
Really enjoyed this Aaron and Liam you’re Legends. 🙌🏼
What a lovely humble guy Liam. He's a true trooper.
Absolute gentleman 🙏🏼
Up the johns.. ❤ what a brilliant episode.. what a guy Aaron is.. xxx
When i opened up the app, and this was the first video, i felt deep joy. I'm well chuffed for you, mate, and there was absolutely no way this was going to be saved in watch later. 👊🏻
Always use black cabs. Thanks for getting me home safely
Brilliant !!! thanks chaps.
Arron’s a good man!! He’s quintessential English that says it how it is.. you’ve got to love him x
Brilliant podcast. Liam you are smashing it. I am loving your guests and how you interview them. Fantastic!!! ❤
Glad you’re enjoying them & thank you for the comment 🙏🏼
Liam is one of if not the best podcaster out there at the moment. 100% 👌
🙏🏼🙏🏼
Absolute respect from me to the crazy ginger cabbie. He is an absolute legend and I will have a look into going to one of his shows 👍🏻👍🏻
Absolute class interview, I’d love to write you an email about how much that interview touched me personally, many similar life experiences, my old man was a cabbie sadly passed Xmas day 2020 (could tell you some funny Uber stories) think we are from similar areas (Essex, east London) and that was the best podcast I have seen this year. Have massive respect for you and also having stuff like this in the public domain and representing the black cab trade (I gave up) didn’t have it in me, biggest regret I have although I can still call Manor House station to Gibson road. Honestly best thing you’ve done and spoke like a proper person. You deserve every success in the world.
Be lucky…
Great interview Liam really enjoyed this and how you interview.
Ginger beard top man and keep up the goid work
What a genuine lovely fella great story and now to have a stand up night at Lee hurst gaff is unbelievable I wish him
All the very best for the future god bless ✌️🩵👊
Such good questions from Liam, he literally asks just what I am thinking
Has got to be one of the very best interviews I've listened to on podcast ever!
Best tuffs interview so far love it so interesting to talk to a cabbie x
Another great podcast Liam. Really enjoyed this one. Total respect for London cabbies as always
Loved watching this one.. been a fan of Aaron’s for ages. What a gent
Proper chap. Followed him for years. Great to hear his story. Stay funny John! Top man!
Liam at last someone who's the real deal, sound fella, laughed & cried all at once 😅
What a really nice and intelligent guy. Fair play
Another great podcast Liam! Came across Aaron about 6 months ago and I find his stuff hilarious! I've always been told I have a dry sense of humour and his shorts have me rolling! Up the johns!
Lovely interview proud brave man, stay strong 😇😇
What great interview. Top man 👍🏻👍🏻
Well done Aaron great podcast and a credit to the taxi trade. Went to his last comedy night and it was very good will definitely be going to the next one. Fair play to Liam for big in up the trade much appreciated. If I ever pick ya up it’s on me. 👍🏻
this is one of the best podcasts that I have seen top marks liam 💯 and as for the ginger cabbie I hope the next time I get a black cab it's yours Aron top bloke.. PS your mum must of been so proud of you as proud as a 🦚..
Lovely chap. I really enjoyed this Liam good job 👏
The look in Tuffs eye when he says he's got a black card for the chicken place 🤣🤣 pure jealousy 🤭
Up the John's, Brilliant podcast. Liam really enjoying your content. And the Ginger Cabbie is a sound gezza looking forward to the next show fella 🤙
I always say to them if they try to tell me I've gone the wrong way I always say " I know where I'm going that's the reason I'm driving and your in the back "
Sometimes a local will know their local area better. Also if they want you to go a longer way, let them do it 😂
Great episode, the man’s a credit to the trade 👊🏾
This should be advertised everywhere, I never knew this about black cabs ❤❤❤it’s not that people don’t give a feck , it’s the most people don’t know these things
About six years ago had a nightmare trip in black cab cos bad traffic. The cab driver would NOT take a tip from me. He wished us well and told us to get on our way. Top fella. That one act means that I will only ever use a black taxi in London.❤
Can’t tell ya how much I’ve enjoyed this one 👍🏻❤️
Absolute legend of man - continues to go up in my estimations!
Its 1am and this is the best best podcast ive listened to as a "in the background podcast" ive liste ed to whilst trying to get my head down.
I follow both people and think ginger cabbie is great content
Really enjoyed the podcast. Love the stories. Thank you both
Up the John's come on then we'll don liam great interview
I’ll watch this later looking forward to it x
From one ginge to another - top lad. Great interview and engaging as always. Up the Johns!!!
Loved it Aaron proper real talk I’ve experienced all this your a proper Cabbie
Eat an apple through a tennis racquet……brilliant interview compassionate man
Awesome interview!
Only recently I saw a convoy of you guys on remembrance day fp to you all. Tradition is important in this country and sadly we are loosing it.
Didn't realize about the children's hospital free runs tho.
Heart goes out to you guys ❤
Love that real talk.
Cabbie is Brilliant 🤩 👏
Really loved this podcast, funny, emotional, entertaining! X
Don’t get me started with cyclists ! The amount of times me and my Guide Dog Have almost been run over by them, going through red lights as a joke. Or you get the people that just leave them in the middle of the pavement for me to break my neck on. You can’t beat the black cabs in London! I’ve never once been refused access with my Guide Dog in a black cab van when needed a cab out of London, I get refused access because I have a working dog. It’s really disgusting. Anyway, I got so hooked on this video. I stayed up until one in the morning watching it. Love it. Thank you so much for posting such great conversations! Emma and Guide Dog Archie
Crazy Ginger Cabbie...top man👏🙏
My mate Kevin looks like a deadlock Rasta but is a proper Londoner like us. He did the Knowledge in the early Nineties. Top geezer
Enough respect and love for sharing
Go on John.. Good on you mate. And F Tarquin and Tabetha 😂
What a legend this guy is!
"tHEY WANNA CHASE SOMEONE WHO IS CALLING SOMEONE SOMETHING ON tWITTER" 🎯
This guy.. Love him. Shout out to the good cabbies.
Many years ago I was flying out to Mexico with a n ex girlfriend and had to fly out of London so we got the train from SW and booked a posh hotel for the night. We took a cab from the hotel to Gordon Ramseys 1st restaurant in Chelsea as I managed to secure a table for lunch as dinner was fully booked. This was early in Ramseys solo career and only had a handful of documentaries about him. The taxi driver said the price on the meter and I gave him a large tip to which he replied “No your ok guv, you will facking need that in their”.
Apart from Gordon coming out the kitchen and shaking my hand whilst we were waiting in the lounge area for our table to be ready the taxi driver made my day 😎
Another Amazing Podcast Liam, Great Stories by Ginger Cabbie.
Great chat from 2 great blokes
Glad you enjoyed it, some great info shared from Aaron and hats off for being so open 🙏🏼
i book a black cab from surrey in to london here and there when i need too if trains are up the creek,way better bunch, always arrive early for pick up, always polite, always safe. you got admires of the trade that are younger than 30 than that grew up with the older generation your forgetting about, although not all have the financial ability to just jump in black cabs when they want which is why it seems less in my opinion. certain points of this bought me to tears, fairly close to home story, love your interview skills.. as a cyclist/cycle courier i prefer the road than cycle lanes every day of the week if im in town i do 250 miles a week average on a single speed bike i witnessed the first few major cyclist deaths around elephant and up towards st pancreas station of cyclists vs 16 ton bulk trucks,deffo teaches you to stop at a damn red light, i hate commuter's on bikes with more passion than i should borris bikes are a different story god damn
Smashing......what a cracking fella!
When the black cabs were driving people for free and Ubers system put a surge price on, what was stopping those Uber drivers from turning their app off and getting those people to safety for nothing?
As a lone female walking through London in the early hours of the morning, I was being followed by 2 men.
Unbeknownst to me a black cabby was watching and knew I was in danger in the area we were. As the 2 men tried to grab me, the cabby sped up on the pavement, jumped out and pushed the 2 men over chucked me in the cab, then took a bit of a beating then managed to get back in the cab and we sped off..
If it hadn't been for the vigilance of the cabby I dread to think what would have happened to me..
I will always trust and choose a black cab over the tube or bus !!!
Yea but according to some of the wankers on this post it’s just cheaper to get an Uber. Glad you’re safe.
@@CrazyGingerCabbiethese people choose convenience that will turn on them eventually. When Uber takes over it can ban political dissidents from using the service. They’ll also charge a higher amount when they take out the competition
@@LiClan these particular people aren’t interested in education my friend. They rather spout bollox about cabbies not taking card or being flash or not moving with the times. When there was a black cab app 3 years before U-Shite rolled into town.
Yea but yea but yea but. These people are nothing but ‘yea but’ charlatans. The ONLY reason they get u*** is because it WAS hell of a lot cheaper. Now there’s not much in it. So instead they say ‘yea but the convenience of seeing them on my phone’. 🤣 wankers.
As I said ‘yea but’ charlatans.
Rant (another one) done. And brreeaatthhee.
