l'll talk to him.

- Charlie, is that you?

- Oh, blimey.

- Are you there, Charlie?

- (French accent) This is Radio Luxembourg.

And now for a spot of the old dance music.

You can stop that nonsense. l know it's you.

Charlie, have you forgotten what today is?

Today?

No, sweetheart,

of course l haven't forgotten what today is.

l mean, how could l forget what today is?

Oh, blimey, it's our anniversary.

Exactly. Heaven knows, l don't ask much,

but l would have thought this was one day in

a year when you didn't have to go out cabbing.

Cabbing? What makes you think

l'm cabbing, love?

l just slipped out to get you a present.

Really, Charlie?

You don't think l'd be plying for hire

on a day like this, do you?

Driver, please don't talk while you're driving.

lt makes me nervous.

- Who was that?

- Who was what, love?

Who's that woman you've got with you?

Oh, just some old...f*ggot

l'm taking to the station, that's all.

l thought you said you weren't cabbing.

lt happened to be on the way.

There's no point in turning down a few bob.

Charlie, l don't know what's happened to you.

You never used to be like this.

Do you remember what you said to me

on our wedding night?

Of course l remember.

l said...

Move over and give us a bit of room, mate!

What? What did you say?

l wasn't talking to you, sweetheart.

l'm talking to some other lunatic...driver.

Well, just to refresh your memory,

you said you'd never let anything

come between us and our happiness.

- l know that, love, but l can't...

- Kindly concentrate on your driving.

- Oh, belt up!

- Charlie!

- l'm talking to the old f*ggot.

- l beg your pardon?!

l happen to be talking to my wife.

Well, l'm glad you realise that!

Look here, Peg,

l'm trying to do three things at a time.

l'll be home in five minutes

with something very nice for you.

Really, Charlie?

What is it?

That would be telling, wouldn't it?

Something to wear. Something very special.

- What is it, Charlie?

- Driver, l really don't feel safe.

Never you mind. Just slip out of your old clothes,

get into something slinky

and l'll be back there with something very nice.

Help! Police! Stop the cab!

- Let me out of here! Help!

- She's gone mad.

- Has she gone raving mad or something?

- Police!

- Police! Mad woman!

- Police!

All right, Allbright, time you were off.

- What are you hanging around here for?

- l've got a complaint.

Don't worry. Keep taking the tablets.

You can laugh if you like,

but l was thinking of calling a protest meeting.

- About what?

- All these ex-service people you keep training.

lt's placing our jobs in jopardy.

Yeah, that's the only word for it. ''Jopardy''.
