My impression that taxi-drivers are the cream of humanity has been strengthened by my acquaintance with them in my own city. Not only are they cheerful, polite, obliging, honest, hardworking and knowledgeable, but they are also extremely well organised.

Without a doubt, English cabbies are much different than their American cousins. Actually, the term "American" to describe a cabbie in America is probably wrong. Whenever I get in a cab I feel I have been transported to either the Middle East or the Carribean."Ya, maaaaan".
