I must share a very funny and somewhat lengthy story concerning a taxi driver. .... but it's worth staying with it!!
A number of long years ago, my hubby's football team went out for Christmas drinks
, copious amounts of berverage was consumed and the boys went their seperate ways at the end of the night. One of the lads - much worst for drink got in a taxi, lived about 10 miles out of town with the fare being about £12 he only had a £50 note ( remember them? I've only had one of them in my entire life!! )
Monies were exchanged and for some reason, the lad remembered the taxi drivers id number, nearly feel out of the taxi and tripped in through the front door and went merrily to bed.
The next morning
some of the lads, met and discussed the night before and everyones antics!
Laddie, checked his pockets ( he wore the same jeans ) .... He realised he only had change of £20 ... He checked and double checked and someone suggested he contact the taxi firm and just see if the driver had made a mistake and to get the rest of the 'correct' change back .... Ha!
yeah, right.
Laddie strongly contasted the 'claim' of the driver - remembering his number - and of course no monies was forth coming and it was Laddies' word against drivers.
( Laddie = lovely, lovely lad = charity worker and all round good egg )
Weeks and months go by ..
At the bottom of town, there is a Taxi Rank where all of the taxi' que up and duely await for their fares.
Laddie goes shopping in town, with the Mrs ... Laddie spots 'THE driver about 5 cabs from the front
...
He waits ....He moves in .... Alone, Laddie goes to the first cab and says to that driver " I only have £5 on my, I have to get to Ivybridge but if you take me, I can make the different to you by giving U a BJ when you drop me off"!! Well, he was hastily and in no uncertain terms was ordered from the vehicle.
He makes the same offer to the other - by now 3 drivers, and is duely ordered from all vehicles with much distaste - eventually he gets to his target
