The difference in what you have done Janethis that you havent passed the text off as original or your own, you have given credit to the author, the 2 sites that have copied my client original text are passing it off as their own...!
What can we do about it?

Google does indeed care about copyright infringement. As a starting point, see
Digital Millennium Copyright Act .
That having been said, the gulf between knowing that your client is the true author of the content in question and proving such can be great indeed, the bridging of which may entail considerable expense.
Short of enlisting an attorney, and assuming that you can demonstrate that your client was the 1st to publish said content on the web, you might try contacting the
hosts of the infringing parties' sites, asking that they remove such content.
Thank you for confirming that alansairport
taxis.co.uk & alansairport
cars.co.uk are both owned by your client, as was deduced.
Please keep us informed as to your progress. I am particularly interested to know how it came to be that Network Solutions' DNS Name Servers, for the "offending" Domain Names, came to bear the IP Address of your client's site.
