Ah, that makes more sense.

Don't get me wrong, it was an entertaining story overall. I just thought that was funny detail.

I agree, it is weird. The Riv is a pretty large and well-known venue too.

Yeah, that's what I thought. I popped in, told him to go to the Riviera and then tuned out. I thought my job was done.

I was once out in town for a night out when my Australian cousin decided she had enough and wanted to go home so I saw her into a taxi and she left. The next morning she told me that the driver took her around the world to get home. She knows the place well enough to know that but not well enough to be able to direct him. He clearly heard the accent and figured she wouldn't have a clue.

He tried to charge her £35. Last taxi I got for the same journey was £15. She actually told him to fuck off and said he could have £10. He took it.

He's probably just trying to rack up 15 quick posts to spam a link with.
