seems people are people wherever they are right enough. I found and returned (to a right snooty coo) a mobile. You'd have thought I'd dropped it in siht the way she took it from me, not a word of thanks, never mind a gratuity for coming off the road to take it to her. And to rub salt in the wounds, my daughter who works at O2, tells me it's a brand new range, retailing at £700. :shock: The next one goes straight to the cop shop, they can get the grief, I don't need it, anymore than miss prissy pants needs her phone.. . :evil:

I may be wrong but i get the impression that those with the money intend to hang onto it, the jobs ive had from the biggest houses with the most merc saloons on the drive tip the least, the only "sir" ive carried obviously forgot his wallet, yet the elderly, and (for want of a better word) "common" passenger usually slips a few quid....

That's the way of it I'm afraid, cheap ppl are wealthy ppl and vice versa, you just reminded me of some old Welsh woman who lived in a £300k house 20 years ago whose son seemed to have a new Merc every 6 months but always struggled to find the £1.20p discounted £1.30p fare back then and always reminded me of how expensive we were and that the bus was only 40p.


To the other two replies


I aim for a fiver to return, haven't enforced it yet although I believe the bylaws state items returned lost are charged at distance to return or £5.

And as for the up it's backside woman you had Grumpy, don't you just find the country filling up with ppl like her? British ppl I may add not foreigner's, no doub't she watches a lot of Britain's got talent etc and thinks shes a judge, revel in the fact the idle spoilt lazy cow will become Fern Britton before long and have a messed up head because she can't shift all those WKD blues.

A light blue grey one?

What colour is that then
Skippy?

Is this one of the new Metrocab colours?


The same colour as the one in your avatar :wink:



It's Storm Grey, minus the Blue bit.
