Bandofla caught up with Ahmet Suleyman - a proud Black Cab Driver of 27 years based in central London.

Our Black Cab Drivers are part of the London fabric; just like a London Bus or a red telephone box, you will see one every day.

Ahmet shares some of his favourite memories and gives his thoughts generally on life as a cabbie.

He is also an incredibly loyal Arsenal fan who has been going to games for 57 years - racked up to about 1800 matches. Naturally, we touch on some lovely Arsenal stories - his lovely father uncle Orhan recently passed away and this episode is in large part dedicated to his father who lived in Ergazi, North Cyprus.

We also mop up on some politic's and the continuing lies of this Government and the fact that we can't get any petrol and energy prices are rocketing - oh yeah, and to top it off the poorest are having £20 a week cut from their benefits.
