A punter asked me “don’t you trust me?” When asked for the £75 fare up front.
Errrrrrrr......
No deal, I walked away. See, Theresa May, it’s easy.

 Should read "may be" not "maybe" |

wannabeeahack wrote: Should read "may be" not "maybe" Maybe, but reading maybe as meaning 'perhaps' kind of makes sense too. So it works either way, to a degree at least, but in terms of clear English it's a bit clunky. |

Southport PH wrote: Anyone asked for the money up front for a journey of less than 5 miles? Probably, but quite an unusual event, so can't recall specific examples offhand. Unusual here even on longer *journeys*, but if I do ask it tends to be part of the fare negotiation: "I'll take you to x for £y if you give me the money up front." But Wanna's notice at least reminds me that I'll have to stop spelling 'journeys' as 'journies'
