[TR] New lamps for old - Not Triumph but still automotive

[Frank Fisher]

and when i left the country, at least in Liverpool, cabs where still
required by 
law to carry a bucket of water and a small bail of hay in the
trunk. in case the 
horse needed it.
in reality no one ever did carry them,
but suck sweet law.

So, what is "notorious"
about London Taxis?  Do you have an objection to riding 
in cabs that are
required to be clean, by ordinance, and that are driven by 
drivers who can
get you where you need to be without resorting to GPS?

occasional visits to that city. So, my reference material is a bit dated. A
