I saw it on the news tonight, how London cabbies have to study for 3 years to pass a test to be a London cabbie. 20 odd years ago, while in my twenties, I worked in London, doing the night run stocking shelves with fresh sandwiches in a certain chain store. I drove the truck whilst my 'mate' had the key for al...
