Default Qualifications necessary to become a station rank taxi driver

The only qualification to work a station is that you pay the rail company
for the pleasure of it.

Sound like one of them customers who wants his cab to waite around for
nothing, carry his bags and sort out his domestics, while he carries on
thinking I'm some sort of skivvy!

Qualifications necessary to become a station rank
taxi driver:

Your attitude to customers should be abrupt at all
times, though talking endless drivel is an acceptable
alternative. Never under any circumstances be
cheerful; moaning about the weather, other drivers
and how bad business is are recommended topics of
conversation.


It is even better if your grasp of spoken English is limited to a couple

of
obscenities (which you shout at other drivers as you cut them up). And
bonus points are awarded for those not knowing the way to ANYWHERE, even
with the help of a torn and greasy A-Z (1955 edition)




Any comments from the taxi fraternity?
