Charmer Or Chancer?

Arrived at Kettering Station from Liverpool and a friend and I got into the last taxi. The fare to home is always £12. I noticed a really agitated business man behind us trying to phone a taxi and asking our driver if he could radio for one....no was the answer.
I asked him where he was going. To the hospital for an important meeting and he was late. I told him it was not on our route but if he wanted to share with us we would make a detour to help him out.
He was really grateful...told us half a life story and when we stopped at the hospital he opened the door, jumped out and shouted...Thank you ladies.
The fare to home then came to £15.60.
Would you have offered to contribute as we had gone out of our way? I would...and he wasn't overly dishy to compensate either. x

Tight git! I cant believe h got away without paying a single penny. I wonder how many times he has done that before.

[marval]

He should have at least offered

Was a bit mean when we had got him out of a tight spot...I think I would have slipped a fiver to the driver towards the fare....out of graitude...x

Hi gness...He may have been a medical consultant. Perhaps Sqad will agree, they are chaps who believe that you should pay for just saying hello to them.

Don't think so Al...or he'd have charged us for the pleasure of his company..
