Taxi



A very amusing job for The Daily Telegraph on Thursday. It was a story about how a taxi driver mistook Stamford Bridge up in Yorkshire for Stamford Bridge football ground in London. His passengers included one of Earl Spencer's daughters-together with her friend she had planned to watch the Chelsea v Arsenal game, but because of the blunder they missed it. Now you would have thought that they would have realised that the car was headed north, not southwards-but Earl Spencer's daughter is from South Africa and her friend was from the USA. So that would be like asking a Brit if Durban is South of Joburg or to the north,(It's south of Johannesburg just in case you were wondering).

Together with the Sun's photographer I got quite excited when the Passat driver pictured did some very strange maneuvers to get away from our lenses. Sad to say he was just winding us up and the driver responsible only works at the weekend and drives an e-class mercedes,(it's not the driver in the other photo here).

Reminiscent of the rock band's tour bus driver who took the band to 'the wrong Frankfurt'
