Taxi!!!!
Whilst on a biz trip to Geneva (very posh, thank you) my colleagues and I noticed that the taxis hovering around the very very posh hotels were large swanky Mercs (I think that they were S Class, but not really being a car buff I could be wrong.) Back home, and some days later after a very refreshing evening in the smoke we needed a taxi, and in our very refreshed state we noticed a large posh Merc coming into view - cue three drunks trying to hail the poshest cab in London town. All would have been forgotten if it wasn't for the red faced fury of the driver, who presumably having spent umpty thousand ponds on his motor wasn't best pleased. We however were very pleased with the reaction, and now try to use this technique at every opportunity, and have extended our repertoire to Bentleys and the like. The word "taxi" is hardly an insult, but the reactions we get would seem to suggest otherwise. I can reccommend it to anyone. It's hardly agitprop, but every time I hear the phrases like "..the haves, and the have yachts" I feel a little bit happier thinking that I've done my bit in raising the average blood pressure of the rich bastards. Go on - you know you want to....
