How ironic that in this weeks Dawlish Gazette, " A Dawlish taxi proprietor has raised safety concerns about vehicles in Teignbridge" " John Partridge who runs Dawlish Taxis, said it had forced some taxi drivers into a position where they left advisory forthcoming repairs until the last minute". Hasn't that been the case concerning most of his vehicles anyway, sometimes being lucky to have any work carried out at all or until the vehicles had broken down/lost parts etc in their tracks? Is it a case of 'the pot calling the kettle black' or has he had a wave of safety inspiration brought on, more likely than not, by the various new taxi companies operating much more newer, modern vehicles than the fleet of worn out old bangers carrying the 888111 number on their doors?
