Another cracker;

Passenger: "Do you keep all the money you get from all the passenger you take?"

My response to this type of sh!!te.

Did the same guy also tell you he has to work 16 hours, 7 days a week to take that, and that he also has to pay out nearly £500 in cab, office and fuel costs.

My response is to usually have a meeting once a month and listen to that cr*p, sitting down listening and letting them believe what they say is true. Mr Mittee seems to be omnipresent.

Picture the scene .....

You've been in the airport corral waiting to get onto the taxi rank for two, three, four hours. There are loads of drivers at the airport because several airport around the country are closed because of inclement weather; snow, fog, high winds, whatever. Birmingham Airport is open & there are loads of diversions landing.

Eventually you leave the corral & get on the taxi rank; now you are fourth turn. A diversion has landed & passengers are clearing out of Arrivals. The first three cabs work in quick succession & they're off to Surrey, Liverpool & Leeds. Now it's your turn & you're thinking I hope I get a distance job to York or Bristol or wherever. You're first turn & along come your passengers, a middle aged couple with luggage.

Then the lady passenger shouts in a squeaky, elated voice, .....

"Ain't we lucky!!! We should have landed at Gatwick, (or wherever) & we've landed in Birmingham just down the road from where we live in Sheldon. We're only three miles from home; ain't we lucky!!"

And you're thinking; Why don't you just fffffffffffffffffffffff.......................

And in the early 1980's when he had just won the ultimate knowledge quiz, didn't we all have passengers saying to us, (we certainly did, even in Birmingham);

Passenger; Hey drive, do you know the taxi driver that won Mastermind, ..... you know the one ..... what was his name?

Driver; Fred Housego!

Passenger; Yeh that's him ..... do you know him?

Driver; Yeh, I taught him The Knowledge when he first came on the cabs!!

Passenger; Did you really?
