Wet
Kings Cross at 2:03am, Monday. This pretty much sums up the shift, wet and dreary.
Welcome to Adrian Neylan's blog of Sydney taxi stories.

I've always thought that when it rains cabbies are busier. Pepole are morelikely to grab a cab than walk to the appointment etc? Is this not the case?

Just depends, AG, for taxi work there's good rain and bad rain.
If it's the weekend and rains through the arvo, people will decide to stay in, if possible. If it rains after they've gone out then, yes, it's good for us. However it also means they will head home early rather than party on.
On a weekday, rain is generally good for us as people must go to work, etc. But once again, they'll also go home ASAP, meaning little work later on for cabs.

wish you could send some of that rain down this way we always seem to miss out of late here on the far south coast.Thats a view i know well having worked at the fire station 20 metres behind u on your right for many years in the 90's.

Well, I don't get, what you are trying to make us see...

toronto limo your not that dumb are you,that is sydneys busiest night time intersection and on this night look at it hardly anyone in sight,so it was a wet boring quiet nite as thus not much money for adrian,just enough for a few coffee's at the cafe 200metres on his right.

What would be our life without Coca-Cola... :-)
About 30 years ago the Pepsi and Coca-Cola started to infiltrate into Soviet Union and it was so rare and exclusive thing that taxi drivers decorated their dashboards by that colour metallic caps from 0.33 bottles.
The size of the cap was almost exactly the same as the size of some handles and buttons on GAZ-24 Volga - the one and only taxi model in USSR.

Great picture tough to do at night..

Thanks, Chelsea. For this I set the camera on automatic 'burst' sequence giving me six shots to choose from. Set and forget, too easy.
