My mate did a beaut the other night, got picked up by a PH who wanted £8 for a £4 ride, told him he was a cabby and his uncle owns the company, it then went just give me £4 and my mate said.....tell ya wot, you just tried to bump me for £4 so yer getting nothing now on yer way and I will be seeing my uncle about you, not really his uncle but the effect was magnificent to say the least.

When they ask me how much it is...................I nearly always say! give me 50 quid and I will bring the change back tomorrow...it is the puzzled/frowned look as they get in!!! and then the penny drops.............and smiles.

Or....................how much is it drive?................Me...It is that cheap I am practically giving you money back!! are you getting in,or what?..............they get in.
