Congrats if you sit in the west stand
Or rather now the “Charles Stanley stand”.
Yes we have an “official wealth management partner”.

Not a moment too soon, I’ll give them my piggy bank and ask for
recommendations.
Honestly with that and Lamborghini we really are living the
dream.
I’m lobbying to get KFC and a taxi company next - you know,
something actually useful.

As a London Cabbie myself, I would be satisfied enough just to
see the Harlequins RFC aligning/supporting itself with the
London Taxi Trade.
Sarries, a couple of seasons ago, had Uber supporting them.
Sarries and Uber parted company after Taxi members and their
families made representations.

WEll thats a whole bag of snakes! You could argue that Uber is
just natural market forces at play. Give the customer what they
want etc...mebbes the independent London cabbies have to adapt
and up their game.
I have total respect for a proper London Cabbie and "The
Knowledge" but if I am standing in the pouring rain with no
Black Cabs in sight I am sorry but I am going to use this new
fangled thing they call a "mobile phone" to solve my problem.

Hmm
Totally understand about the bag of snakes and this is after all
a rugby forum.
There are taxi apps eg MyTaxi.
Anyway, will be at Worcester on Saturday and staying overnight
at the Premier Inn. Hopefully meet up, have a beer and celebrate
the win. COYQ!!

The stage coach drivers and postilions were up in arms when the
internal combustion engine came in.
I wonder which has the greater chance of lasting long term?
Bloke riding round London on a moped for a couple of years doing
The Knowledge, or a bloke using a sat nav?

No offence meant at all my friend but I have on many occasions
tried to get a black cab back to Hounslow where I used to live
after a night in London to no avail as they have said they will
not go there.
The same was true of trying to get a black cab to Hounslow from
the Airport.
Now when I am in London I use Uber or a cab company who never
say no.
I know the argument is that I should take the number and report
the driver but I cannot be bothered. After a few drinks all I
want to do is get home.

It’s Maserati not Lamborghini. Harlequin Football Club Not
Harlequins Rugby Football Club. Pedantry over now. It’s good to
see that the Maserati tie up has been so successful that
everyone can remember the name.

Haha - oh yeah. Blinding.
Just like our other sponsors - erm, the financial thing, and
yeah something else.
DHL and Adidas - are Greene King still one?
I’m dodging tje cab argument other than to say you’d have to pay
me to shell out treble for a black cab.
Oh but the new annoying Uber thing is they do have access to
your destination so can turn down your fare if they don’t fancy
it.
