DIAL-A-CAB ARE OUR HEROES!

   Pam Nenks is disabled due to a serious heart condition, but still does charity work for Guide Dogs for the Blind. During WW2, Pam was with the Auxiliary Territorial Services serving as a Radar Operator and was credited with gaining much information that helped the Allies in their battle against the Nazis.
   In addition to being totally lost without her car, it was also of sentimental value having belonged to her sister and having the initials on the number plate of their father. 
   Pam told Call Sign: "I feel that I have done my bit for the country, but that obviously means nothing to whoever took my car because they would undoubtedly have seen the empty collection tins on the back seat. No doubt they are now using them to pretend they are collecting for the charity itself. I would like to thank Tom Whitbread for his help and also Vince Ward who spotted my car. I am just so pleased that I have the car back thanks to you wonderful cabbies at Dial-a-Cab."
   And if that story doesn’t make you feel happy heading into the New Year, then not much will!

"My friend, Pam Nenks, had her car stolen by a heartless thief even though her blue badge disabled sticker was clearly visible on the windscreen. We had tried all manner of things to help us find the car because she is totally dependent on it. We reported it to the police, phoned LBC Radio and told the newspapers. The Hampstead and Highgate Express even ran a front-page story on the theft. I then suddenly wondered whether Dial-a-Cab could help?
   I know how wonderful London cabbies are – there’s nobody else like them throughout the world! They have an infinite knowledge of the biggest city in the world; have to cope with the worst traffic and some of the worst pollution on the planet –not to mention some of  the

passengers they may have to pick up - yet still they find time to perform genuine acts of kindness and charity, such as taking disadvantaged children out for a day to the seaside for example.
   So when I phoned Dial-a-Cab to ask for their help to find my friend’s car, I spoke to Mr Tom Whitbread and everyone then joined forces to help. I was treated with the kindness, compassion and openhearted response that only our London cabbies can provide!
   The call went out to DaC drivers to keep a look out and within just a few minutes, one of your wonderful drivers – Mr Vince Ward (V87) – called DaC to say that he had found the car! I received a telephone call from your Board member, Mr Tom Whitbread, telling me about the successful conclusion. We were just over the moon, not really being able to believe it!
