Nofolk Town To Offer Drinkers Free Taxis Home 6/10/2009 Drunken youngsters are being offered free taxis home to avoid late night crime. The police will pay up to £6 to ferry a reveller home on Friday and Saturday nights when some pubs shut at 1am. The three-month trial is costing a Norfolk town £350. Margaret Holmes, mayor of Watton, said: "We feel this is a good thing - especially if it protects young women who are sometimes left drunk." Sgt Lance Ogbourne said: "People walking home are at their most vulnerable and also most likely to be involved in anti-social behaviour." Source; Mirror.co.uk |

Seriously, though, what happens if the Police call a taxi to take a drunk home and it turns out he or she lives more than a £6 ride away? Maybe even a lot more? What happens if said drunk chunders all over the cab? |

I don't think they can force you to take a drunk home if you don't want to. Having the experience I had last weekend with a job I did that the police had called in I'd certainly give it a miss

I have it on good authority , tonight, although I may have been inebriated and missed the translation, that our police are to stamp on the b*llocks of anyone f*cking with a cab driver

toots.... as long as they handcuff them all together, and place a bin bag over the heads you'll be OK......they could even use your handcuffs. |

They could indeed but I'd have to dust the cobwebs off them first
