I am going to post a piece about how London Hackney Cab drivers become licensed etc. and some other, to me, interesting bits of information about them. I don't think it belongs specifically in this topic although, Jeff, the cabbie was a 'black cab' driver. That said both John and Sherlock agreed that 'he wasn't a very good cab driver'. Certainly if he didn't go the quickest route he certainly wasn't!
It might appeal to those of you who want to know more about the cab drivers' history, training, licensing etc. and also those who have an interest in Psychology (proper researched Psychology that is). I'll also put a link in to a very funny blog by a London 'cabbie' which is certainly worth looking at.

Don't make people into heroes John. Heroes don't exist and if they did I wouldn't be one of them.
