I had cause to visit Disneyland Taxis yesterday in the centre of sunny North Shields.

Whilst there I was lucky enough to partake of a cup of coffee from their legendary coffee machine (Est.1958) This coffee has magic medicinal qualities and is guaranteed to fight off ‘Salmonella,Ecoli and Influenza’

Whilst pouring endless amounts of loose change into this machine I happened to bump into ‘Dopey’       “Dopey” I said “how ya keepin,would you like a coffee?”  after a long pause and a blank stare,Dopey replied: “Sniff! er no thanks, coke’s more my thing” “OK,Suit yourself” I say.

“Dopey! what’s this new ad you have in the Donald Tribune?”     pause, blank stare….”Oh Yeah! it sez we start at 90p an they are Mickey Mouse Fairs! He! He! He!”  ” Fairs” I say ” Like the Spanish City?”     “Yeah, He! He! an we only charge £14.50 for a 30 mile round trip to the Airport from the coast”  “My goodness” I say   ”those are indeed Mickey Mouse Fares aren’t they?  Were they established in 1958 aswell?”      Blank stare!   “Are your driver rents Mickey mouse ?”  Blank stare!  ” what about the bit that say’s save at least £1.40 off every journey compared to them nasty ,evil black taxis on the rank?”    “Er! Oh yeah well that’s just a play on words innit!”     “What, so that’s not strictly true then?”   Blank stare…squirm….mutter…mutter   “Dopey, Dopey are you all right, shall I get Snow white?”    at that point Dopey waddled off muttering Hi Ho or something, jumped in his Doblo and ranked up with the rest of the nasty evil  black Taxis on North Shields Rank!!
