A Joke.
With Christmas almost upon us I would like to share a personal experience with you.
A couple of days ago I was having drinks with friends and following some red wine at lunch followed by a brandy I decided to take a taxi home.
I went through a police check but as it was a taxi they let it through and I arrived home without incident .
This was a bit of surprise because I have never driven a taxi before, I don’t know where I got it from and now it is in my garage I don’t know what to do with it . Any Ideas ?

Re: A Joke.
John, just think yourself lucky it was not a bus, where would you store that?
But you could make a killing giving the local village residents rides around the town in it.
