    I love these wind up posters :j

    I can just imagine them sitting at home on their computers while their elderly mothers make them some dinner and run a bath for them

    Great thread! Almost as good as the snowglobe guy.

    I'm not sure he was a troll?

    He was the guy whose stepdaughter(?) smashed a snowglobe in poundland and he blamed poundland for having snowglobes within reach.

    I used to work for Shell- but have resigned in disgust at the way this poster has been treated.

    Shell does not make petrol from crude oil but from crushing shells, and BP does get theirs from milking bees. So now you all know.
    (Texaco's is the decaying remnants of Texans so all environmentally friendly)

    Oh, you should contact the OP, I'm sure they will be able to sort out a new job for you in the taxi, conservatory or bin cleaning trade! ;)

    I wasn't aware that taxi drivers were limited to eleven cheque paying customers per day ! Is this a new law ? My friend Boris the cabbie knows all about the Picking Up Punters With No Cash On Them Law (1754) Section 5.8 and says the OP is talking rubbish.

    They aren't limited to eleven, they HAVE to take eleven cheques before they can stop for the day. Ten is no good and neither is twelve, the law is very clear. And it's not a new law, William the Conkernut brought it in after the Battle of Wasters in 9.66.
    It's someone else's fault.

    There needs to be a sign that clearly states the payment options otherwise it will be illegal. The driver also needs to offer halal foods to his/her customers.

    My local chinese takeaway has a sign up saying strictly cash only. Is that legal?
