The taxis in london are much worse than the buses, so many of the drivers are vindictive [censored]. Happy to put you into a fence and drive off laughing... Gah. You're right though, definitely the way to get around London. Saves a fortune too.

The hatred list I have is

motorbike courier, there complete gits who would ride over your car if they thought it would get them to there detonation faster.

Buses, they will pull out on you regardless, and they work in packs. It there is the opportunity to crush you in-between two buses, they will take it

city workers on bikes, 80% of them are intent on placing there heads under your wheels

Taxies, If they see you have a sat nav in your car, your already dead.....

and every one else bar me...

Just got home from a wonderful week away in France! Started driving back from Lectoure on Saturday, stayed in Saint Nazaire opposite the WW2 U Boat pens last night

I love this kind of thing it's a massive building!
After all that I get back and find the coupe all safe and sound on the drive and also just confirmed Joe can fit a new clutch on Wednesday - Happy Days!

That's true. I tend to sit in front of bendy buses where possible, there's not much they can do if they're stuck behind me! Thankfully the route I take has stops every 50yrds or so, so once you overtake a bus they never really catch up...
