Shouldn't that be a full-sucked hoover uprising?

And I, for one, welcome our new fire-breathing black cab overlords.

London?? 

Alert

Are London Black Cabs specially fitted for this?

Did it combust out of sheer surprise when the driver used the indicator for the first time?

...mine's the one with the working brake lights.

Expensive, Elitist, Expensive Transport 

...that should never have been allowed in bus lanes (not that they should have been allowed either, not anyway). Give the bus lanes to the half-reasonable mini-cabs and let the taxis stay stuck in the traffic.

Elitist and expensive.

Did I mention? Expensive too?

Fitting 

Joke

Expensive? Check

Uncomfortable? Double double check

Elitist? Check

Choosy? Check (try hailing one after midnight if you're a bloke with a mate)

Have you seen the ones with the useless 'internet' screens in the back? What a fu*king liberty!

Couldn't happen to a nicer class of vehicle.

/because they're a joke (albeit unfunny).

You're just jealous that you don't have any national symbols in your part of the bog !! London's black cabs are renowned worldwide and London's cabbies have a built-in sat-nav in their brains - see scientific(??) proof in BBC website. Other world renown cities have paid big RMBs for the right to use those cabs in those cities !!

Still, I can't blame you hicks for being jealous but could you, please, take that bit of straw out of your mouth before you go "oo-arrrr" !!
