    Yes, it is becoming a common problem in London, innocent people are driving home only for groups of drunken people to jump in the back of their car and demand to be driven around.

    Generally, most people are so sure that you will have a weapon on you that the safest thing for them to do is just comply.

      That's how I eventually got to my hotel - flagged down a random car, since none of the taxis stopped. getting into an off duty taxi didn't help my journey, either....

        TF: "No, really I mean it....she has to get back to her hotel"
        SP: "Um....yes....ok...no problem"


        I promptly got in a taxi and ****ed off I was so glad CM surfaced the next day. Means she did get to the hotel...flip knows how.

            I think, perhaps, that there was more than one person I was issuing instructions to take care of CM to.

            Certainly, I remember there being more than one person I was talking to (although they all looked identical, but blurred now I come to think of it)

              It takes years of living in London to work out where the most fertile places for Black cabs late at night are. For the West End, there is a spot in Mayfair, around Shepherd Market, off Piccadilly where you can usually find some. (This is also where you go to get the high-class call girls FYI)

              But usually you can't be bothered to do the walk so you'll take anyone that will stop.

              Erm, Sockpuppet and I are hardly two peas in a pod?

              I remembered having that conversation with you but now I am beginning to doubt myself.





              Eh hem. We are getting a little bit off topic now.

                    I knew it was you! I reckon SP is making it all up about being there at all.

                      Quite possibly

                      I was in her room twice, too.... Only because she needed help getting dressed, you understand.
