Dear Elaine Seviour
Dear Elaine Seviour, I find your comment that I am clearly ill and am blaming innocent parties quite astonishing. I did visit A&E and they have a report on my NHS records that I was poisoned by carbon monoxide poisoning the said evening of the 11th August 2026. I could not have made this up as I did travel with my friend in Clive Salter’s taxi that evening from Heathrow to the Taunton area. The journey from there to Heathrow was very good but was a different car and driver. I was, as also my friend who had booked the taxi return trip, almost instantly aware of diesel fumes in the cab on the return journey for over 3 hours. I have recovered luckily but would not have wasted my time to visit the Musgrove Hospital if I had no reason to do so. This visit very early in the morning did show that I had been exposed to carbon monoxide poisoning. I was only concerned for the driver who had been exposed for over 6 hours and therefore any other customers after this, as it is illegal to use a hired vehicle that has such a fault. Of course the firm’s vehicles are MOT’d as required, but a fault like this can happen anytime during the year between MOTs. It was the reaction that I received from Clive the owner that made me give this review as he denied that there was any fault whatsoever. This is not a responsible reaction with such a business that serves the public. It doesn’t matter what type of car it was… it was dark at the pick up and journey!! I was not after compensation only to warn the public and check that the driver was ok.
