The February issue of Call Sign told
how Dial-a-Cab driver Sid Nathan (K88)
became involved in a disagreement with LBC Radio
phone-in presenter Clive Bull during his late-night
program. Sid had received a PCN from Camden Council after dropping a passenger late at night outside a supermarket so that he could buy some milk. Sid’s Taxi was waiting within the area marked out for a bus stop, but away from the stop itself. So upset was he, that he phoned Clive Bull and live on air after mentioning Dial-a-Cab and Call Sign a dozen or so times, Sid told the London audience that it was disgusting that he should get a ticket for dropping his passenger where he wanted to be dropped. "What if he was in a wheelchair," Sid asked Clive waiting for the returning sympathy, "or how would you like it if you asked me to stop and I drove on 100 metres because of parking restrictions? Licensed Taxi drivers can stop anywhere." Clive’s sympathy was non-existent! "You can’t stop at a bus stop unless you are a bus," he told Sid, "so it serves you right!" After arguing the point, Clive Bull eventually managed to cut Sid off while in full flow when he needed to stop for one second to draw breath! But Sid’s battle wasn’t over. He still had the ticket for £100 – or half if paid quickly."Why should I pay," Sid told |
SID’S VICTORY OVER CAMDEN IN BUS STOP ROW! |

 Sid Nathan
Call Sign after the show. "I was doing my job?
Clive Bull is a putz, Camden Council are putzes –
they are all putzes if they don’t understand why I
stopped in the bus stop! I am going to write a
letter about it to Camden Council and explain why I
stopped there. I am going to fight this all the
way!" |
close to the truth… "The woman told me that she was going to look into the matter with her colleagues and they would study the CCTV and then talk to the committee and they might call a board meeting over tea and dinner at the Hilton Hotel and maybe take legal advice and that she would let me know the outcome!" Call Sign took two breaths – one for us and one for Sid… "Then a second letter arrived; this one said they had looked at the CCTV footage and saw me stop, someone got out and came back four-and-a-half minutes later carrying something after which I drove off." Another brief breath and Sid continued: "I told them already that it was a bottle of milk! What a waste of time – they have nothing better to do than to look at a film of someone carrying a bottle of milk?" "Anyway," he told us, "they said that I was a naughty boy for stopping in the bus stop and that the bus couldn’t have stopped there if it had come along. There was only me there! But they said that I shouldn’t do it again and that they would let me off. I wonder if the Hilton dinner was kosher…?" Well done Sid. Camden Council are obviously shrewder than we gave them credit for! |
