Bridge #2 London Bridge 

🚗✨ Rolling through London’s streets and couldn’t pass up the chance to chat about the famous London Bridge! 🌉

Now, here's a fun fact to dazzle your passengers: the current London Bridge was built in 1973, but did you know its predecessor was sold and shipped off to the USA? That’s right, the 1831 version of London Bridge is now chilling in Lake Havasu City, Arizona. Talk about a bridge with a passport! 🛫🌎

Rumor has it, the buyer thought he was getting Tower Bridge instead. Oops! 😂 But hey, who wouldn’t want a piece of London history, right?

So, next time you cruise over London Bridge, remember it’s not just a river crossing – it’s a globe-trotting legend! 🚖🔔

Why Do Pubs Have So Many Flowers? 🌸🍻

Ever wonder why pubs are blooming with flowers? The answer is rooted in history, centuries deep! 🌿

Back in the day, people loved a good drink (some things never change, right? 😉), but not everyone was literate enough to read signs. So, how did you know where to grab a pint? Simple! Pub owners would deck out their establishments with juniper branches. Spot a building with juniper? You knew there was booze inside! 🍸

Fast forward to today—while we’re all a bit more literate now, the tradition of decorating pubs lives on. The juniper has been swapped out for all sorts of lovely flowers, but the message remains the same: If you see a building bursting with blooms, there’s a good chance you can grab a drink inside! 🌺🍺

Cheers to history and a good drink! 🥂

Bridge #1: Tower Bridge 🌉

I’m excited to kick off a new series where I introduce you to the bridges of London, starting with one of the most iconic: Tower Bridge!

Taking a detour from chauffeuring through London’s bustling streets to give a shoutout to this stunning landmark.

Did you know this beauty isn’t just for looks? Built between 1886 and 1894, Tower Bridge is a working drawbridge that opens about 1,000 times a year. That's right—this Victorian marvel lifts to let tall ships pass through and is still going strong!

Legend has it, if you look closely at the bridge’s towers, you might just see a Victorian-era engineer waving back at you. Or maybe it’s just a pigeon with an attitude—who knows? 😂

Next time you’re cruising across it, take a moment to appreciate this architectural gem... and maybe honk twice for history! 🚖🔔

Happy moments of my customers are the magic points in my day-to-day work. Recently, I received a special request to meet a customer at the airport with flowers, and I organized it with joy. 🌸✈️

In the span of one week, I had two occasions when customers with spare time asked me to take them around London for a small tour. I'm not a professional guide, but I showed them Buckingham Palace, the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey, Downing Street, and Trafalgar Square. 🏰🏛️

I told them stories about why London was created, why we have two taps in the sink, and why pubs are decorated with flowers. They learned about the Blackwall Tunnel, the history before Admiral Nelson's statue, and which church inspired wedding cakes. They were thrilled with my stories! 😊
Always happy to share info about our amazing city. Do you think it's worth being a chauffeur with touristic knowledge of London? 🚗✨

С   разницей в неделю в моей машине оказались 2 пары туристов, которые располагали временем и попросили меня немного познакомить их с городом. Я показал им стандартный набор достопримечательностей - Букингемский дворец, здание парламента, забор резиденции премьер министра, Трафальгарскую площадь, Тауэрский мост. Кроме того я поведал кто и зачем основал Лондон, почему здесь 2 крана в раковинах, пабы увешаны цветами и старый туннель под Темзой изогнут как змея. Рассказал историю Тауэра и как один из мостов через Темзу переехал на другой континент , показал церковь, подарившую свою форму свадебным тортам по всему миру. Пассажиры были довольны, ведь я всегда рад рассказать что-то интересное, а как вам кажется должен ли шофёр обладать знаниями гида и быть интересным для туристов?

Shoutout to Fawkham tyres for not just keeping my wheels rolling smoothly, but also for doubling as a kids' museum and playground! Where else can you get a history lesson while your tires get changed?

Central London offers a myriad of intriguing sights. From the iconic, shimmering Elizabeth Tower to the unique architectural marvel of the 'melted building,' and the thought-provoking depiction of a Kalashnikov on the flag of Mozambique, there's always something fascinating to discover.

London, like any lively city, has its beauty, soul, and sense of humor. Recently, I spotted a few proofs of how London can be funny in its jokes:

The wind can be so strong that it bends street lamps.

When I was a child and read books, I thought parrots in trees were a sign of a tropical forest. London can showcase this as well.

Fortnum and Mason's shop tries to explain to the wider society that the thinking of men and women differs.

December always brings the rush of New Year celebrations and our traditional family photo session. Kids grow up fast, and it's always delightful to cherish heart-touching moments when I'm not wearing the tie and work suit. Being together with my amazing kids and gorgeous wife is a joy. As I look at myself, I realize how much work needs to be done to take up less space in next year's photos.

Yesterday, my job took me to the area of Coventry Airport when I accidentally found the Midland Air Museum. Thank you for the interesting stories from Roger, who knows the history of every aircraft in the exhibition. It was a breathtaking experience sitting inside a nuclear bomb carrier aircraft, thankfully never used for its intended purpose. If you're not far from Coventry, I would recommend visiting such an interesting museum.

Today, I strolled around the Sevenoaks area to distribute my leaflets to the mailboxes of local residents. Along the way, I spotted a few hilarious house decorations. Which one tickled your funny bone the most? (Please note, strong language has been used!)

After many years as a taxi driver, I've categorized my airport customers into three distinct groups:

The "Dancing Testosterone" Folks: These individuals are so caught up in their fast-paced lives that they arrive at the airport just a few minutes before check-in closes. Their flights always teeter on the edge of "to be or not to be."

The "Balanced" Travelers: These people plan their airport journey meticulously, arriving well in advance to avoid any airport or road-related stress or delays. They typically show up even before the check-in counter opens.

The "Wisdom Age" Explorers: This group, mostly composed of pensioners, is the epitome of calm and preparation. They book a hotel near the airport the night before their flight and, on the following day, arrive at the terminal without a hint of stress.

But today, amidst the bustling streets of London, I encountered a passenger who seemed to be the most prepared person on the planet, transporting a Christmas tree on a beautiful, sunny day in September. It was a delightful and unexpected twist in my long career as a taxi driver!

Today, 16 years ago, we embarked on a journey of eternal love and commitment, exchanging vows that forever united our souls as husband and wife. Reflecting upon that moment, I am overwhelmed with gratitude for your youthful spirit, boundless optimism, and daring courage that led you to embrace my proposal and join me on this wondrous path of life. Our marriage, akin to a treasured ancient vase, has grown more delicate over time, and in its fragility lies a profound and priceless beauty. Like a fine wine, our bond has matured, gaining depth and richness with each passing year. In the tapestry of our everyday existence, I am endlessly enchanted by your grace, your enchanting allure, and the wellspring of wisdom that you bring into our shared world. With a heart brimming with love, I celebrate this anniversary, cherishing the remarkable journey we've undertaken together. Here's to us, to our enduring love, and to the countless chapters that lie ahead. Happy anniversary, my beloved!

16лет назад мы ответила Да на главнейший вопрос и стали мужем и женой. Я безумно счастлив, что ты была столь молода, оптимистична и легкомысленна ответив согласием на моё предложение идти вместе по дороге жизни. Замужество как античная ваза с годами становится более хрупкой и от этого бесценной. Оно как вино с годами становится насыщенней и вкуснее. Я безумно счастлив, что кажый день могу наслаждаться твоей красотой, чувстом юмора и мудростью. С каждым годом я люблю тебя всё больше и больше, с годовщиной!!!

Unfortunately, the reason for my visit wasn't bright. However, it's always nice to visit a garage that looks like a museum and is ready to help with a puncture. Thank you, Falkham Tyres, for your assistance.

Our lives are full of different unpredictable coincidences. When we witness two events unexpectedly far from each other, we are always amazed when life constructs a small bridge between them, creating a complete picture from odd puzzle pieces.

Later in the morning, everyone who should be at their workplace is already there, and the job of a taxi driver becomes quiet. I received a job from a peaceful and prestigious part of historical Victoria: a tall flat house made of red brick with large windows. I met my customer—an elderly English lady. She was elegantly dressed, had a well-maintained figure, and her grey haircut accentuated the magical beauty of her age. She requested a trip to Wimbledon. I am not an expert in every woman's secret, especially when it comes to their age, but I believe the lady was in her 70s. As we started conversing, she asked the standard questions about where I am from and how long I have been living in the UK. I don't put enough effort, and my Russian accent always accompanies me (I don't even want to think about how strange I may sound to native English speakers). Afterward, she told me about the purpose of her trip. We were headed to the oncology clinic. The lady was undergoing cancer treatment for the third time. I was amazed by her moral strength and her confidence that everything would be okay. I had mixed emotions due to the situation, but for her, it was just a part of life. I dropped her off outside the clinic, we bid farewell, and she gave me some coins as a tip. When she disappeared behind the door, I examined the coins she had given me and was astonished. Among the coins, I spotted the 50 pence coin commemorating "The Battle of Britain." I still keep this coin as a symbol of unwavering determination, reminding me that everyone has their own battles to be won. I hope she emerged victorious for the third time as well.
