Taxi: John from Underhill Road


lightweight

Recommended Posts

He used to take such a lot of pride in his stretch of Underhill - we miss seeing the flowers he used to plant around the trees, and he used to be very generous at helping some of the older residents keeping their hedges trimmed etc. He was always outside washing his cab, which was spotless.


We always think of him around Xmas, he used to decorate his house with lights and a Santa, my kids (even though they were still preschoolers when he died) still remember going to see it.


Definitely a much missed local character.

    • A long overdue review for Niko who we have used a number of times over the years, sometimes to properly finish a job that other plumbers have not done properly. He thinks of everything! I only ever use another plumber if it's urgent and Niko is away. A really kind and thoughtful man and totally trustworthy 
    • At the time of posting previously, we had no idea of the dates we would be having the children. The maths place - you pay for a course of lessons . The coding session would be good but you need to book well in advance. Also grandson has been doing coding since 6 years old. He now has a 'mentoring role' at his primary school as his knowledge of this subject is years above his chronological age. Dates are still up in the air as their father is trying to juggle leave from a new job in the north of the country. 
    • why not have a pasty shop - we could have Cornish pasties, Jamaican patties, empanadas from all the different regions.... I like all three.  I'm still going to support the Chacarero family business, as I don't support chains, just as I don't buy anything from Gail's, Nero, Starbucks etc.
    • Thought it had been a fish and chip shop at one time?
