A teenager reportedly ended up with a cabinet instead of a taxi because she asked directory inquiries for a "cab, innit". According to The Sun, the Londoner, 19, wanted a taxi to take her to Bristol
When the operator told her she couldn't find anyone by that name, the teen replied: "It ain't a person, it's a cab, innit."
The operator then found the nearest cabinet shop, Displaysense, and put the girl through.
She then spoke to a bemused saleswoman and eventually demanded: "Look love, how hard is it? All I want is your cheapest cab, innit. I need it for10am . How much is it?"
The sales adviser said it would be £180 and the girl gave her address and paid with a credit card. The next morning, an office cabinet was delivered to herSouth London home.
The firm, of Bishop'sStretford , Hers, has now apologised and refunded her cash after the mix-up two weeks ago.
Marketing manager Steve Whittle said: "We thought it was a joke at first but the girl was absolutely livid. We have suggested that maybe she should speak a bit clearer on the phone."

Seriously....... that actually happened!
AND
how come on other blogger/blogspot sites I can link back to my new blog but not on this one?
HMMMMMMMMMMMPH!
Roy: Don't know on that one, Roy you will have to ask someone a bit more technically up on it than me.
That's why I prefer Tranzitt cab services during travelling, in this you just need to enter the address and then only the amount will displayed which you need to pay. I recently use this taxi from heathrow to gatwick
