No reply from TfL
On 1st June I surrendered my cab licence, posting it to Transport for London in Sheffield via Royal Mail’s tracking service, who later confirmed that the documents had been received. Now here we are a full 12 weeks later, and not even an acknowledgement, let alone a letter similar to the one my friend received thanking him for his service, and a cheque for the balance of the unused licence fee. But that was before Khan’s London. Would anyone at TfL like to give me an indication as to whether I’m still a London cabbie, or have I been added to the dozen or so who weekly also give up driving in London behind the wheel of a black cab?

London in Quotations: Percy Bysshe Shelley
London, that great sea, whose ebb and flow / At once is deaf and loud, and on the shore / Vomits its wrecks, and still howls on for more. / Yet in its depths what treasures!
Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822)
