  1. I’ve read a lot online of bicycle accidents in London, it looks as though drivers were more careful back then.

  2. I lived in London in the early 1970’s and remember so many drivers of cabs I took as kind, helpful, ultra polite gentlemen. Loved this video. Just mentioned recently how the doorman @ a NYC hotel had to tell the cab driver he called for me how to get to GRAND CENTRAL STATION !!!

  3. Oh how I wish they trained the Taxi drivers here in Sydney like that. many of our drivers cannot speak english & they take you all over the place trying to get from A to B.
    It took me back to my childhood when life was just grand,just think a Taxi ride for a few Bob!
