Question of the Week suggestionsEach week we ask a question. The idea is to generate material that's:
* interesting to read, i.e. we won't get bored of reading the answers after about 10 of them
* not been asked on this site before
* fun to answer
What would you like to ask? (We've left this question open - so feel free to drop in ideas anytime.)

A couple of weeks back...I jumped into a cab to go to Paddington Station
Cabbie: 'Are you boating, mate?'
I thought, 'that's a pretty odd question, but I suppose I am dressed quite preppy, it's a nice day, and I could be getting a train out to Oxford, Maidenhead, or somewhere...'
Me: 'No - wish I was though, wouldn't mind on a day like this'
Cabbie 'I can't be bothered myself.'
Me: 'Oh, I love it me, out on the river, bit of Pimms. Used to love spending an afternoon out on a punt.'
(Pause)
'I'm actually heading to a meeting. Going to be spending all afternoon in a dingy office. Maybe I should suggest we go and rent some boats instead, eh?'
Cabbie (now looking at me in the mirror like I'm an idiot): 'I said - are you voting, mate?'
Me: 'Oh, is there an election on?'
He didn't speak to me anymore after that.
