Another winter week + another storm incoming = another name for said storm.
Storm Dudley’s due any time soon, then it’ll be Storm Eunice, as the A-Z naming pattern continues.
Pondering if they might be running out of names, I wondered if they might be interested in using taxi terms for future storms…if so here’s a Glasgow Taxis A-Z they can take inspiration from:
Storm App – what do you mean you’ve not downloaded it? Do it now!
Storm Busy – yes, that old chestnut. “Busy tonight, driver?”
Storm Council – can’t live with them, can’t live without them! PS. They set our prices …
Storm Driver – that’s me!
Storm Electric – and this is where we are heading, vehicle wise
Storm Fare – could equally be Storm Fixed price, cos that’s what we offer
Storm Glasgow – the city we all know and love
Storm Hackney – a proper, good old-fashioned, bona fide taxi term
Storm Intelligent – how to describe a Glasgow Taxi driver part 1 (ha ha)
Storm Jags – many taxi drivers claim to support Partick Thistle, for a quiet life
Storm Knowledge – every Glasgow Taxi driver has got this
Storm Lavvy – and every Glasgow Taxi driver needs this at some points during a shift!
Storm Motorway – sometimes our best M8, sometimes our worst
Storm Nightshift – god bless all those who serve tirelessly through the wee small hours
Storm Otago – a great Glasgow street name and gave me something to use for the letter O!
Storm Passenger – this is why we do it. People Make Glasgow Taxis
Storm Quick – time of day, traffic, instinct … all factors in a driver deciding the quickest route
Storm Rank – a word with many meanings in Glasgow! But I’ll sit with the one we know best …
Storm Six – the number of seats the majority of our cabs now have
Storm Troon – every Glasgow Taxi driver’s second favourite Scottish location
Storm University – blessed to have three great Unis (and many great colleges) in Glasgow
Storm Valet – a regular investment for us all
Storm Windscreen – our view of the world
Storm Xylophone – we get everything left in the back of a cab
Storm Youthful – how to describe a Glasgow Taxi driver part 2 (ha ha ha ha)
Storm Zzzzz – what we do at the end of a shift, and what you may be doing now!
And that’s a wrap! Storm SS for Stay Safe!
