Anyone tell me if once over 65,you need a medical every year,to be a Licenced London taxi driver?.

A big THANK YOU to the taxi driver who picked me up by Buckingham Palace and took me to St Thomas Hospital on Saturday night (05-06-10).

I had a nasty fall on my bike and since there were no ambulances available, my boyfriend hailed down a cab. When arrriving at the A&E the driver very generously refused payment for the journey.

Situations like this make you feel pretty small and vulnerable in a big city like London and knowing that there are such kindhearted people out there, puts a great smile on my face.

So whoever you are, one again a big THANK YOU!!
