Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)

A word of warning for anyone coming to London

Question:

He has a point…..the "gypsy" cabs (especially for a female travelling alone late at night) are not safe. Just was in London mid-November, saw people passing on anything that wasn’t the standard "black London cab."

Are they "unsafe" or just "unsafe in London"? The OP was advertising his service… Can you NOT see the real reason for his post?

Most of the unofficial cabs are OK though standards of cars and drivers vary widely from company to company. Some of the mini cab companies (not called gypsy here, that is a US term) are suspect and employ dubious drivers, and some have been linked to criminal operations. Some employ mostly immigrant drivers whose knowledge of London is poor. There is a licensing system now being implemented which will hopefully clean out the bad ones and achieve reliable standards. Until now they have not been licensed or regulated; they are unmarked and have to be ordered by phone (they are classed as private hire cars). Officially you cannot just get one on the street though sometimes they hang around looking for work at stations etc. They do not have taxi signs you cannot spot one in the street. People in London can usually recommend a reliable company in their area. They are far cheaper than the official "black" cabs (perhaps 2/3 the price on average) and sometimes have better cars – my New Years Eve car was a huge S-class Mercedes; that is very unsual, but I often get a normal Mercedes. I usually use them in prefernce to black cabs, as do all my friends – I just use black cabs for short rides and when I dont want to order a cab by phone. Also there are not so many black cabs outside the central area. There were some women-only companies – i.e. women drivers and they only took orders from women passgengers but I dont know if they are still in business. Roger

No, he has a business he’s trying to get business for.  Again.

Must be the add in his sig… The advice is for any airport, not just for travel in London. However, there was no special reason to single out London in his post except to advertise his company
