Outragous taxi fares
In my younger days, I was frequently outraged at the obscene mark up in taxi fares should my friends and I wish to travel from Liverpool city centre to the heart of plastic scousism- The Wirral.

(The mark up of 15 quid seemed to be due to the taxi man having to pay the £1.30 toll when traveling through the Mersey tunnel.)

After an especially boozy Saturday night out my friends and I devised a fiendish plan to avenge the taxi men's greedy ways.

around 0230 we made our way to the 1st black cab in the taxi rank and asked- "how much to take us through the tunnel mate?"

the predictable "20 quid mate" was taxi man #1's response.

In an attempt to bargain with him we collectively offered him "a fiver and we'll let you suck each of us off" naturally he declined.

we proceeded to make this offer and receive various refusals all along the taxi rank until we got to taxi man # 8.

Me - "how much to cross the water mate?"

Taxi man # 8 - "20 quid lads"

Me- "alright mate, Birkenhead please."

Me and my mates bundled into the back of the taxi, grinning and waving enthusiastically to the previously propositioned taxi men as taxi man # 8 drove past.

I have no idea if our plan worked, but lets face it, who would ever have believed that he hadn't.
