Loads of people in line, most of them drunk, waiting for a taxi.
A cab pulls up and all of a sudden an old lady, about 65, comes from nowhere and gets in!
Few people started shouting.
Quite funny I thought!

Fuelled, no doubt, by the decline in spelling standards.

I had the same last week. Just got out of the club, waiting in the queue, when this old dear skips everyone, and makes a grab for the next taxi.

Next thing all hell breaks out....ghee I love living in Scumdee

Grammar and spelling isn't the same think.

Funny that, we had the exact same thing happen to our station queue, I mean you don't see many little old ladies around at 2.30-3am in the morning. Although little she didn't look the frail type and she looked to be muscling in on groups trying to get into cabs eek

I only noticed her the once, as I pulled onto the rank behind three or four cabs - the groups from the disorderly looking queue were climbing into cabs and she was trying to get in with them. As punters were getting in my cab one of the other drivers was trying to stop her getting into his cab which was already full. I asked those that got in my cab about the old girl and they said she wanted a cab back in to central London so I can only assume she fell asleep on the train and ended up in Basingstoke. I feel bad now that I didn't check on her - bks!! I'll ask after her at work tonight that could have been my poor old mum frown

I almost did that once. Stumbling around Guilford looking for a taxi. I later found out you can only get them from the ranking. So, I headed straight for a cab when I got there. Upon getting in, some bloke who was also in the queue wearing jeans and a t shirt told me there was a queue. Turns out he was the guy running the 'queue' of people scattered around the area. Obvious when you know but you would have thought he would be wearing a hat or something!

I had not been on the piss all night - honest.

You know what? - I wouldn't mind, let's be honest, she's somebody's nan and she's an old lady I wouldn't want her waiting around at that time of the morning if she was my nan.

Wouldn't you have recognised her if it was. Or were you simply too drunk?
