I am delighted to have recently returned to TfL as a Knowledge of London Examiner. This is a temporary assignment for six weeks (possibly to be extended). The sad thing is that the powers that be have made it clear that my media activities must cease while I am in their employ. This means I can not publish any more magazine articles; whether they are about taxis, the Knowledge, or anything else, however unrelated. I can not be drawn into any discussion of TfL.
To all my loyal followers – all 34 of you – please understand if I don’t respond to comments about cabs, the Knowledge, or TfL. I read all comments from cab drivers and Knowledge Boys. Please don’t think I’m ignoring you.
I have a piece coming out in CallOver Knowledge magazine, that I submitted before I joined TfL. After that, it’ll just be little pieces on this blog. Not that I have much time for writing after getting up at 5am, and getting home at 8.30 – with some weekend work on top.
I’d like it recorded that I am being well treated by the regime, and that our Glorious Leader, Boris, is a top man.
I hope you stay at TFL sir. Thank you for asking such fair questions and being there for us knowledge boys. I had an app with you recently and through my own faulted scored a D, i hope to have another with you in the future and show you how I’ve improved. Thanks again Sir
Thank you for your kind comments. Almost everyone gets a few Ds, it’s how you bounce back that counts. If the Knowledge was easy it wouldn’t be worth doing – and I wouldn’t take much notice of those “The game’s dead” merchants either; they’ve been saying that since the rise of the mini-cab in the 60s! Am I going to stay at TfL? Watch this space…
Hi
I just discovered your blog today and looking forward to catching up with all the past articles.
Thanks Jan. Stay around because there should be some new articles coming, when I find the time. I’ll definitely be writing out some practical guidance on handling the Appearance process.
