"A Taxi Driver Writes
Every week a well-known cab driver is asked to write about an issue of
topical importance. This week: Al Einstein (Cab no. Emc2) on the link
between the Hippocampus and the Knowledge.
See that piece in the paper guv about how cabbies have got bigger
brains than anyone else? Not surprising, guv, is it when you consider all
them street names we 'ave to learn - millions and millions of 'em, little
mewses, one-way streets, little rat-runs, I know 'em all. Westbourne Grove
did you say, guv? I'll just pull in here an' look it up. I 'ad that Carol
Vorderman in the back of the cab once. Very clever girl."
