Good morning, everyone! Yes, that big orange thing is called “the sun”, in case you’d forgotten what it looked like! 😁 The Met Office says there should be quite a bit of it today, right through until sunset! Temperatures will be colder, however, ranging from 2 to 6 degrees C, accompanied by light and variable N winds.
There has been an accident on Forest Road, at the junction of Whitehouse … Read on

Friendly Cabs has just become the first Isle of Wight taxi company to EVER hit 200 Google reviews and, what’s even more astonishing, every single review is a 5 Star review!
To put that into full context, the oldest and largest taxi company on the island has been in business for 75+ years and has a very large fleet of vehicles and drivers.
Friendly Cabs is one of the smallest … Read on
Good evening, everyone! I thought some followers might like to know what goes into constructing our daily summary posts each morning.

This Friday I’m very much looking forward to chatting to one of the classes at St George’s SEN School about the life and work of a taxi driver. Apparently, one of the students in this class is passionate about one day becoming a taxi driver, so I’ll be giving them some information on what it entails, how to become one and answering lots of their questions! Can’t wait!
Friendly Cabs has now joined the Isle of Wight Chamber of Commerce, allowing us to network with likeminded businesses on the island. Looking forward to a few early morning breakfast meetings to let more people know who we are, what we do and how we do it!
Last year I had the privilege of driving the lovely ladies and gents from Wessex Regional Care.
They visited the Wildheart Animal Sanctuary in Sandown and everyone, including myself, had a wonderful day! One of the ladies promised faithfully to draw me some pictures from the day and email them to me, and true to her word, I just received two fantastic dinosaur pictures this morning!
Margaret, these
No, we don’t! Whilst learning the taxi trade, I worked for two companies, one of which used an island based app. I found the app to be unreliable, both for customers and taxi drivers.
On multiple occasions I would arrive at the booked destination to find the customer had left without cancelling the booking. At other times I heard of drivers accepting a booking but not fulfilling it.

It’s starting to get real! Stage 2 is far more in depth than Stage 1 and will require a ton more headache tablets! I’m getting too old for this but it will, undoubtedly, be worth the pain. Let us leave no-one behind.
