W:Do you enjoy your work? Do you enjoy meeting people? M:Yes. Sometimes. I've got to be honest. Sometimes.
W:So, some people you like and some you don't?
M:Yeah, it's like a lot of things, meeting the general public. You get good days, and you get bad days= But I do enjoy the job. I like the freedom of the job, being self-employed.
W:Do you ever get difficult passengers? M: Yes, sometimes.
W:What sort of things do they getup to?
M:I would say sometimes a lot of difficult passengers are people who don't go in cabs a lot and they're unfamiliar with procedures, especially if you work nights. People drinking or the extras that would be included on the tariff after a certain time of night.
W:You mean they argue with you over money?
M:Yes, that can happen. Or the way.., the good thing is, people can argue about the way that you go on a ceaaln route because they always    know better. But nine times out of ten the route that they take you on is far longer so, you know, they're the eventual losers.
W:So if you do have a difficult passenger you want to get rid of, what do you do?
M:I'd stop the cab and tell them to get out. W:Does that often happen?
U:Mmm, it's happened 'to me three times. And they've got out. So I, I myself haven't had a lot of problems with difficult people, you know.
W:When you pick up tourists as passengers, what kind of places do they like to go to?
M : I suppose the most famous landmark is Buckingham Palace, the Tower of London, maybe Harrods;but certainly Buckingham Palace.
