Stockport minicab driver in hat row Maurice Ross says he has been told to stop wearing his favourite peaked driving cap – or risk losing his job An angry minicab driver says he has been told to stop wearing his favourite peaked driving cap – or risk losing his job. Maurice Ross, 52, has been a minicab driver for four years and always worn his favourite black flat cap behind the wheel. Although he is a self-employed private hire driver, he works through Metro "Taxis", which provides a black shirt with a company logo on it to be worn on duty. And Maurice says he has been told the only headgear he can wear is a black beanie hat the company has given him, otherwise he can no longer operate under the Metro name. He said: “It is unbelievable, you would have thought there are much more important issues in what makes a good taxi driver than what type of hat someone wears while behind the wheel. “Mine is perfectly smart and appropriate and I always like to have it on, yet I’ve been told I can’t wear it. I don’t understand, I represent the company in the proper way – I’m warm and friendly, that’s what matters. “I’ve worn this hat for years and no customers have ever complained to me.” Maurice, who lives on Tamworth Green, Portwood, has only been working with Metro for just over two weeks and has previously driven a black cab for most of his minicab career. He says he wears black trousers and shoes with the provided shirt so always looks smart while on duty. When contacted, no one from Metro "Taxis" was available for comment. source: http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/ ... ow-6744770 |

Perhaps if he gets a cap with their company logo on it they may prefer that. |

Must be great being self employed and 'working' for all these county mounty firms. Hats, uniforms, hours dictated, radio rents, car rental . . . Stuff that. |

I'd have thought a traditional flat cap was more acceptable than a beanie oop north.
