THE TAXI CARD

One day a man had to have his taxi card ready because he was going to go by computer cab to the centre.
The taxi driver took the card out and when “swipe the card came up” the card started to play a tune. It seemed weird because there are no electrical parts but the driver found it was magnetic and it picked up radio signals from his walkman.
This was the first time he heard the taxi card play a song. Even whilst the radio was broadcasting inside the card he gave it back to the passenger Joe Soap.
Mr. Joe Soap was a resident at Goodfood Lodge in Clop Lane Goodmayes.
By the time Joe Soap got to Peppermint Road day centre the taxi driver then asked for the man’s fare.
The fare for the computer cab ride was £25 and that was only for a couple of miles. Not only that, the passenger Mr. Joe Soap, was also told that he must show a biscuit to the taxi driver in addition to the taxi card and he also must wear a tie for the driver Mr. Henry Muck suggested that he must dress up smart otherwise he would end up having to ride a horse taxi to the centre, that is a horse hired out for taxi use, and that he must wear a seat belt, and what a seat belt the taxi had for it was a chain with a padlock that locks round the passenger’s waist. Not only a seat belt but he must also chain his feet to the floor especially when the cab is moving.
The manager at Peppermint Road Day centre said’
“It’s absolutely barbaric the shackling of one’s feet to the taxi floor and a seat belt in the form of a chain, it shows what a tyrant Henry Muck, the taxi driver, is.
