In London the ability not to speak english or have a clue where you are going always helps.

Touting skills are an added bonus.

But that's why your starting the knowledge :wink:

It's not just London, a driver had his radio taken off him last week.
Complaints.
Stinks
Very little english
drives on wrong side of road
must have a post code for every job (but i got tom tom missey)
spent most of the day on voice asking silly questions!

But you can take a translator in the test with you, the translator is a taxi driver and the LO doesnt speak punjabi!
The world's gone stark raving MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD!!

Then your manor deserves what they get. [-X

Gutless councillors, gutless LOs, and at times a very pi** poor service. :sad:

No translator allowed in my area. If you can't read the questions, you can't get a license. :wink:

Are translators allowed for the Knowledge of London?

I'm sure GBC would offer his services :lol:

Only when Alex Salmond gets me repatriated.

I'll claim political asylum, do a bit interpreting for all the Jock detainee's, and go touting at night. :wink:
