Well the bank holiday weekend turned out to be a really crazy one for me. It started off with the job from hell on Friday lunchtime. Picking up two couples from Barrow Island
After much drunken shouting and swearing he was finally persuaded by his less inebriated pal to ditch the beer. Unfortunately the wild eyed over the top lager drinker got in the front with me and then the fun started. " To the sex shop in town and then on to Dalton Dalton
A vile chemical stench which they later told me was Amyl nitrite nearly knocked me out as I reeled back, head spinning. Luckily his pals realised that even though this was supposedly a legal drug, shoving it up your taxi driver’s nose at forty miles an hour might not be safe. They calmed Mr Over the top down and I grudgingly carried on to Dalton

Amyli nitrate is illegal over here. Thank god.
Quite often bob, it's used to make muscles relax so you can push large things into tight places if you get my drift. Good job you were sitting down.
That was the stupidest thing he could ever have done owing to the fact it causes some users to temporarily loses all physical control plus driving under the influence of it is likely to lead to loss of licence, i'd have booted him outta car mate... if not more
I'm so pleased that you got out of that one in one piece. What idiots!
Wil: They say that it's soon to be banned as a known carcinogen.
Keith: I certainly do get your drift and it still makes me wince.
Ratty:Heck I could have made a mess of my drivers seat then eh!
Peggy: Idiots is about right, crazy as well.
I was recently threatened with redundancy but escaped and it will probably reappear. I was attracted to your profession by the stories you tell. When you look at the same faces in an office year after year the chance to get out and about is quite alluring. However this episode kind of burst the bubble.
Perhaps they should fit taxis with ejector seats, the kind of thing in Sean Connery's Aston Martin in 'Goldfinger' !!
As for the Amyl Nitrite I thought that that was a prescription drug for Angina - pretty dangerous putting that under an unsuspecting driver's nose.
tom:Yep an ejector seat would be a good accessory. But I must stress that folk like this are far and few between, and are a rarity during daylight hours. I would rather face the odd nutter now and again than face a life stuck in an office or factory or office. But again that's me, I guess it's not everyones cup of tea.
