Quiet, demure and introverted are three words that will never be used to describe the intrepid trio in the latest episode of drivers tales. Raucous, Irreverent and occasionally potty mouthed are much closer to the mark. Put the short length of the episode down to the extracts that never made the edit. Busy tonight listener !

Episode 5 of Talking Taxis can best be described as 'drivers looking in the mirror'. What do the public really think of Glasgow Taxi drivers and how do drivers believe they are perceived by the public and are any of theses perceptions justified. What can drivers do to change these opinions and will it have a long term impact on the taxi trade. We hear drivers explore what they get right and what is wide of the mark. Will the trade be prepared to change or has that ship sailed. Busy tonight listener ! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
