Pretty unremarkable this, apart from the fact that it was late Sunday morning. And in view of the area I wouldn't be surprised if you-know-what was a factor
But, of course, one aspect of this is off-the-scale by normal standards
Only another 27 years in the trade for me till I get to that age
Hopefully I'll either be out long before that, or dead of natural causes. Which would save me killing myself to avoid driving a taxi well into my 80s
