The boys just returned home after 15 months on the road. Awesome adventure.

All in the name of the red cross.

Not strictly a "taxi", as in licenced etc, so not really a world record.

"World record in old Black Cab" would be more accurate.

I'd agree, if they weren't paying fares then it wasn't a taxi journey, just a drive about in an old black cab. Still, good on 'em though

Were it a real taxi journey it would have been bloody expensive!

The meter read something like £80,000 when they got home.

How much was the tip?

[GTIR]

I doubt it.
Taxi meters, particularly the Black cab ones, only have six digits so the max amount would be £9999.99.


ETA. They also reset after the power is off.


(God I'm a miserable sod today!)

mega miserable. They have a book with all the journeys and the cost of each trip.

Be great to be in a position where you could just bugger off round the world for over a year!

Sorry. Thought this was about Ken's taxpayer covered holiday plans before standing for election again.
