Ric.roar - "Strange thing is - no matter where I go most of the taxi drivers I see are asian
I wonder if this is true and, if so, why ..."
i think it is true, and an educated guess suggsts that a lot of Asian businesses will emloy family members, which in the case of extnded families, can be a large number of people.
Therefore, if an Asian proprieter buys a taxi business, he or she can probably staff it entirely with relatives, or friends - hence the large propensity for Asian drivers in most major towns and cities.
I stress this is entirely an educated guess, I am of course open to contrary evidence.

You appear to be accusing them of nepotism? Or do white taxi firms operate in a similar manner?
Are there statiristics for what job types take people off jobseekers i.e. hiw many successfully get into taxi driving, other than being related to an owner?

They like jobs that are paid in cash. Taxi drivers, takeaways, market traders.

You appear to be accusing them of being tax-shy? I thought you were a left-of-centre, sympathetic type, until I saw that.
