Is it the time of year

this week seems to have brought out all the odd balls of society, could be the cold weather

I have had the worst week yet with nutters, half wits, drunks, you name it I have had them

some have now started to ask again "have you been busy" which raises the blood pressure, and even "wot time you finish", thought all this was history, I put on an act at time pretending I'm a bit deaf, can't hear properly, shouldn't be driving a taxi then mate was one reply, pardon I said didn't get that, got one using this method, he caught me out when he said round it up to a tenner mate, I heard him sharpish,got the 20 note gave him back a tenner, thought you was deaf mate he said but you heard right when I said take a tenner

got one bloke in trying to torment me to start a fight, wot at my age, another who insisted I was going the long way round [thats when I got him almost home] whats up with these people

finally tonight, some dressed up bird gets in the cab, slurrs an address, oh don't go yet waiting for my sister, there was a bloke carrying this other bird heading for my cab, I shot out the door sharply, Oi your not getting in here, the bloke said but we are solicitors, I said I don't give a stuff, I ain't carrying her she can't stand up

so I takes this lone person in a very quite atmosphere in the cab, you could slice the air with a knife, you could here a pin drop, so turned up radio talksport and took her home
she gave me a gob full at the end for not taking her sister but gave me a 30p tip

another bloke wanted dropping him off at a Chinese takeaway, he paid up the fare, then he said can you wait for us as your doing nothing else, we only live a couple of hundred yards up the road, be about 10 minutes, I shook my head and said goodnight, pratt

Isn't it any time now that the runners start performing

can't win em all

When people start small talk with me I'm usually just grateful that they're talking to me.

I would like to be a fly on the wall if el tell of the gmb ever became a driver , Just imagine being a punter with him driving, it would be world war 3 by about half a mile down the road

It always amazes me when they treat you like a father confessor.
Some of the personal things i get told make my hair stand on end.

Just at your hair

Even more from China now

got 3 Chinese engineers going to hotel, as we set off I forgot to put me 20p extras on, so I did this further down the road
One of the Chinese pointed at the meter and said something in Chinese to his mates, re meter charge, something like 2 pounds already it seemed like

So I quickly had words to the only one who spoke broken English, so in my best chinese I asked

why e point at meter and talk

answer , he think velly expensive

so I told em, goverment rates, you no like, you no go

they said, ah so, velly solly, you dwive

Perhaps this was a typing error but are you sure it didn't sound like R SOLE twying to ovacharge us

Loads a love from BERTIE !!

I usually get indian software engineers wanting me to move fyrniture about on a busy saturday morning trouble is it is very hard to get the concept of too busy across to them.

earlier this year i got caught out when i agreed to move a couple of items ( about a third of a mile down the road) an hour and a half later and 4 trips backwards and forwards we had completed an entire house move !!

Had an African lady (possibly Nigerian) approach me on a rank about 3 months ago and ask if taxi drivers mind carrying bits of furniture, I replied there's usually not a problem as long as it would fit.

What is it I asked, well it's a bed and a few other small bits.

Double bed or single I say, double I think she says.

Well it might not fit then I say and the only way to find out would be for you to try or at least measure it.

Ok she says, can you come to my house and try, I say sure jump in.

No she says I'll meet you there in 10 mins.

I say so you expect me to pull off a rank and come to your house on the off chance of it fitting but without charging you.

Well yes she says, I don't want to pay for a taxi if it's no good.

Politely I replied in so many words, then on yer bike then.

What a f##king liberty!!!!

She tried about 6 more drivers on the rank until she got the message.
