Needless to say, I am very pleased by this judgement!
I'm gonna limp to the pub and drink 'til the rest of me is as numb as my arse.

Just seen there's a prog on BBC2 shortly, 7.00pm, called Babies In The Office. Described as a "Reality documentary following an experiment by minicab firm Addison Lee to help its employees manage their work/life balance by putting their babies right next to their desk."

I smell the cloying stench of a PR exercise.

Sam Leith, of the Evening Standard, referred to the company as "Addison Lee, the well-known taxi-themed publicity stunt company...".  ;D

Babies in the cabs?

The judgment.

I didn't spot an order about costs, but by my reading TFL won on every point.

'Intra-Community trade' affected by banning mini-cabs from bus lanes? OFFS!

Yesterday, 100% of the Addison Lee drivers I saw on the Olympic routes were driving in the Olympic Traffic Only lanes. They are still in force until tomorrow.

Addison Lee drivers are pretty bad in London town. Often try to race ahead of me only to take a sharp right turn straightaway!
