Taxi Drivers
What is it with taxi drivers?
Why do they want to engage in banal conversation? Do they think they will get a bigger tip?
The cab driver from home to Heathrow hardly let us in the cab before he had regaled us of tales of traffic jams on the M25 and around the Elephant and Castle. He even butted in with his own stories in the middle of a "private" conversation.
In Singapore, we got "Ah, England. Tony Blair!" Whatever happened to foreigners on recognising you were English saying: "Manchester United. Bobby Charlton"?
