Taxi tedium

Just for a change (!) it was raining cats and dogs this morning

(what is worse than raining cats and dogs?...hailing taxis (geddit).

He has still not got round to buying an umbrella so ordered a taxi. What is it about mini-cab companies in this country (or is it a global phenomena) that they will always accept a booking even though they know they cannot fulfill it?

As one can imagine with it turning up 25 minutes late and after 3 phone calls he had steam coming out of his ears.
Matters were not improved as the journey to work went very smoothly as that rather cast the lie to the claim that the delay was due to heavy traffic.

Oh and in possession news he has lost his toothbrush.
