Sadly the statistic about sexual assaults in London by minicab drivers seems to be depressingly true extract from here The new statistics reveal that there have been 150 recorded rapes and sexual assaults by minicab drivers this year, compared to 66 four years ago. Police believe that the true figure is probably up to 10 times greater due to the ‘serious under reporting’ of such assaults. This was 2001

Interesting statistic, if its true, Last year 214 women were sexually assaulted by unlicensed taxi drivers in the capital(London). A new service is been promoted to allow you to phone the cab direct by this outfit ZingoTaxi although at £1.60 a call its sounds a tad expensive. Full story here. The number to call is 08700 700 700 and apparently it is set up by the makers of the London Cabs an interesting example of vertical integration! I think I need to check those assault figures though!

Crikey just read Zingo is a 50 strong team who are burning their way through £8million pounds. Thats a lot of calls at £1.60 a pop!

Now Easyjet get in the neck from a passenger who has set up a Easyjet sucks website here and also a blog here. Interestingly the problem seems to have occured on one of the old Go routes. As previously expounded on my blogs I am sure that Go will be the death of Easyjet.
