I fully agree with Mr Bird I think all taxi drivers should have to pass a test for their English. I get it all the time here people complaining about drivers not understanding what they are saying, not knowing where they are going and following the TomTom directions to the letter which invariably adds cost to the fare. I'd just love to know how the hell they passed the Knowledge Test
