I was thinking about something which took place under drinks etc. last weekend. I took a taxi with two other people back home after this party, next day around 12 noon, and the taxi firm agreed 10 quid for the trip. First person got out gave the driver fiver. I am not inquisitive really, but I was sitting in front. The second person was moi, und....errrr....supposed to be the last one in the back gave a fiver to the man, there by, relieving me of the whole episode of giving any money to the cabbie. Not me. Just, I fished out, all the coins in me pocket and counted explicitly five pound in coins and gave it to him. Ahh the mistake...Didn't realise untill two and half days while I was watching this MacDonalt TV, the horrible mistake.
I was watching was this episode of "On The Buses" where Butler goes in to dreams and goes back in time still on the buses. The characters....O fuck never mind that.
So I was in a similar situation long time back in London (Late 1970's). Got into a cab four of us and all, dead pissed etc. We were all working in the same place for 40 quid take home money per week, and the cabbie says 4 quid. We pooled in, each counting up to the share of a pound and then we gave the driver another quid. Silly really the connection. I think the white coats are imminent, or is it em.....
I am a selfish person.
