Strange Sightings

The new breed of Mercedes Benz taxis are now on the road.
Thankfully, there only a handfull visible.
It is almost shocking to encounter one of these newly passed PCO vehicles.
My first instinct is to run them off the road thinking they are scabs.
Then reality kicks in and I realise that they are the newly passed Mercs. They are a blight on our trade and it is a wonder that the owners do not realise this too and feel ashamed.
I know they do not look like nails but they are certainly death nails to the taxi trade.
How can the average punter now know the difference between a licensed London taxi and a mini cab if everyone is driving the same vehicle? Its a travesty to allow these scab vehicles to be used as black taxis.
I hope that only a few vehicles are sold and they die off naturally.
We really can’t allow these vehicles to destroy our business just to spite Mann and Overton.
I’m all for improving our taxis and reducing costs but this can only be done by competition and consumer demand.
Its vital for our taxis to look like conventional London taxis and stand out from the opposition!
Imposing mercs on us will only have a negative affect on our trade and encourage the opposition.
