Even like the JANITORS talked like they were Presidents of these United States. Even the TAXI DRIVERS did. I risk challengement by stating thus. Not that I am judgey of REAL LIFE TAXI DRIVERS because actually if they did all declaim in carefully wrought speeches it might be better than being unable to talk in clear English. <--- I am not being racist here, I just struggle with accents. Once I tried to a give a Sikhular taxi gentleman 80p, because he seemed to be saying EIGHTY! It turned out, much later, that he was saying EIGHTEEN. He wanted that quantity of pounds sterling. I was thrusting a badly judged amount towards him.
