Someone at the Courier obviously having fun with the headline here, which I copied for the thread title.

But I removed the word 'taxi' and 'replaced' it with Arbroath, because readers on here know what kind of rank it is, and Arbroath also has the letter 'r' near the start 8-[

As an attack on a driver this doesn't sound the most serious, but it's certainly a bit different :?


Wednesday court round-up — Taxi rank romance rekindling rammy


Taxi for lovelorn accused

https://www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/news/co ... ing-rammy/

An Arbroath woman attacked her former partner in his taxi after he refused to get back together with him.

Louise Looft admitted assaulting cab driver Kevin Robb on August 24 while he was parked at the town’s Lordburn rank.

Looft, of Noran Avenue, and Robb had ended their relationship the day before and the 35-year-old had spotted him, parked at a rank, after she had been drinking.

At Forfar Sheriff Court, Fiscal Depute Bill Kermode said Looft had walked past after having a few drinks and jumped into his vehicle.

He said: “The accused entered the taxi and tried to rekindle their relationship.”

Mr Robb told her their relationship was over so Looft slapped him on the face.

He made his was out of the taxi through the passenger side door and asked her to leave.

As he contacted police, Looft grabbed Mr Robb by the arms and she was still grasping him when officers arrived.

Sheriff Jillian Martin-Brown deferred sentencing until October 19 for reports.

That is one of the problems of being a cab driver.

Folks, including nutty ex's, know where they can find you. :-s
