Ive posted on various occasions, the amazing work being carried out, at night, by the small bunch of militant activists involved in taking back the ranks and work being lost to touts.
They call themselves the Mayfair Mob, although they don't confine their fight to he small area around Mayfair. This mysterious group operate right across London from Shoreditch, through the City of London, Soho, Mayfair, Chelsea, Kensington and all the way to Shepherds Bush (the home of British football).
With help from the Mob's brilliant ranks and highways agent, they've had new ranks appointed and implemented, plus old ranks extended and repainted.
But best of all, they've been highly effective in taking back work, lost to touts and bent door staff. We've actually seen a reduction in dodgy firms working the doors of clubs.
Just who are these knights of the night?
The Mayfair Mob are a collection of independent drivers from all orgs and unions. Their Philosophy is, "it's not the colour of the lanyard that matters, it's he badge on the end the counts'. A clean cab, no brooming and take all card payments.
Most nights, and always on specific hits, the mob are supported by the AdVan, sponsored by the LTDA.
Over the passed few months, there has been concern over the message displayed on the posters. Although most drivers understood, the message was completely lost on the majority of night revellers. A definite missed opportunity.
It's a unbelievable what we as a trade have to put up with. Clipboard men now stalk custom outside on the pavement and a new phenomenon...the mobile booking office.
But yesterday, the LTDA launched a fantastic new poster (also to be conveyed on flyers and receipt pads, available from the driver of the AdVan and Taxi House) with a hard hitting message that shows the public just how unsafe unrecorded minicab journeys can be.
This crystal clear message, will not be lost on the public.
