A few weeks ago I visited Kingston from my home in the West Highlands of Scotland. I left my diary with the address of my destination at home.
I had a vague idea of the address, so on arrival I set out to find it but got hopelessly lost.
I had been travelling for 10 hours so I hailed a passing taxi cab. The driver could not have been more helpful. He tried to find the address with his A to Z and, when that failed, took me back to the station, refusing any money.
With so many bad things
said about taxi and cab drivers and the (so-called) unhelpful southerners, I was amazed at this man's generosity.
I eventually found the address I was looking for and had a most pleasant stay in your area.
I wish I had taken the cab number so I could write and thank the driver personally, but hopefully he will see this letter.
Thanks again Kingston, you should be proud of your cabbies.
