I used a taxi today for a half mile trip to son's place - £4.50
I expected it to be price hiked on christmas day, so wasn't surprised.
I normally give a good tip, but I only rounded it up to a fiver, because it arrived
one whole hour after I had asked for it.
Despite having pleurisy at the mo, I had started to dig my car out of the snowdrift, thinking that it would never come.
The other 10 for dinner were waiting patiently for my breathless arrival before starting.
On the return trip I had regained my composure after several glasses of wine, but was thwarted again by a foul poison emitting deodorant tree hanging within one foot of my face. I was rendered gasping and breathless yet again.
The dinner and good company were worth the suffering of the taxi though
