They have been studiously listening to their 'English for cab driver' tapes for months. They know how to say 'don't leave anything on the back seat' and 'we don't accept tips'. Now in the final step of preparation, Beijing's army of cab drivers has been issued with a smart uniform of yellow shirt, blue trousers and blue and yellow striped tie. At last, they can also proclaim - 'we are ready' - to face the swarms of foreign tourists arriving in Beijing for the Olympic Games. But why the tie? Its 35C out there - give them a break. At least they don't have to wear peaked chauffeur caps.
