41 ---- More London taxidrivers!

CNN has found the real source of information. Here is another video where London taxidrivers are interviewed (May 15th, 2009). This time they give their opinion about all the money that the British MPs (Members of Parliament) have spent during this time of financial crisis.
Take a look:

But again, don't panic. It's very difficult to understand them. Look at London and the taxis.
There are again four taxidrivers: Ian, James, Hugh and Alan.
How many years have they been driving a taxi in London? What part of London are they from? Do you think that they are happy to learn that their politicians spend so much money?
The accent isn't easy, so don't be discouraged. Listen a few times to get a little information and to listen to the music of the language...and to see London again!
