LOL. Well i guess I was lucky in my choice of drivers. Ours was willing to have a laugh and a chat about our bungled attempt at a getaway (after he got his money a few days later of course).

Haha, but what if he was a big body-builder?

actually its more likely he would trigger an alrm to call other taxis to the scene, rather than try anything himself. but anyway, bodybuilders aren't invincible by a long shot😉

I have this rather amusing mental image of david getting his taxi driver into a headlock while dozens of other taxi drivers start piling out of their cars and leaping on his back (like that agent smith scene in the second matrix).

Perhaps i'm just tired, but i just can't work out your reference to his legs, nor what type of long shots he can't handle. I think I'm developing a headache...

Why doesn't crime pay though...? Gangsters make mass amounts of money all the time. Where is the justice in that?

They have a risk of getting caught by the FBI and go to jail for twenty years...who's willing to risk that!

Crime pays.
Just make sure you hide how much it pays though, as Al Capone would tell you...

Reminds me when I was young daft and skint.. Used to "hop" a taxi on a regular basis due to the fact I was 100 metres ace in the days when I had hair 😕
Funny thing that you can`t run as quick after a pint or ten... Was caught thumped and had chain taken as the drivers fare 😳
Looking back, I deserved all I got..... I tend to pay for taxi`s nowadays.
