General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

My best mate was with me. I rang two of my three sons, both said they couldn't come.
My mate rang one of his three sons, he also said he couldn't come.
He rang his mate, who is the taxi owner.
He said he was "ready for bed, lad"! but he'd come - for £60!
So £60 it was. £30 apeice !

A couple of years ago, I got to Manchester, on my own, after midnight. No way of getting back, unless I got a taxi.
I phoned my wife. She set off and got to the M56, on the M6, and the exit was blocked.
Then, 2 hours later, she rang me to say she was lost ......... in Macclesfield!
