London taxi drivers have a reputation as being amongst the most opinionated and talkative in the world, and their grueling training and testing program ‘The Knowledge’ is equally well known. Now, it appears, the black cab driver has a new claim to fame: the place where more technology kit is lost than anywhere else on the planet.
Of course, it is not just technology that gets left behind in the UK capital. The Pointsec Global Taxi Survey also revealed that one gallant chap left his drunken girlfriend behind as a tip, and items ranging from £100,000 worth of diamonds in a bag through to false teeth (!) and wooden legs have also been left behind (how you wouldn’t notice you had left your false leg behind is, I must admit, beyond me.) But it was in the area of business equipment that this survey had its focus, and which proved to be highly interesting, unless you are a business traveler in a black cab that is.
