Katesgrove Councillor Gul Khan sensationally refused to be photographed by a fan whilst driving his trademark black cab in Kendrick Road. Despite claiming to be one of Reading's best known taxi drivers Khan became annoyed when a passer-by attempted to take his picture at the wheel of his taxi.

"How dare you try to take a photograph of me. We all know that the only person in the Borough allowed to take pictures of councillors without asking permission is John Hartley. Anyway, I've been keeping a low profile since being elected, so I don't want my picture plastered all over the place. The shame, the embarrassment, being seen in the company of David Sutton. There's just so much a man can take.

"And now I keep getting flak about the one-way IDR. Well I love it, it'll add £3 to every taxi journey from the train station. Car drivers? String 'em up I say. It's the only language they understand. I had that John Reid in the back of my cab once. Diamond geezer. "
