People with the name David Taylor.
My mate Drew once ate this many walnut Whips in one night.
He's insane now. Drives a Volvo.
This doesn't surprise me. Two of my best mates in Chorley have the same name as me.
Around 1981, all three of us went to London to stay with a mate who had moved there. Arriving at Euston Station around half past midnight, on the delayed 20:30 train from Preston (some things in Britain just never change) we climbed onto a taxi and asked the driver to take us to Crystal Palace. The taxi driver lept out of the cab and returned with a Policeman. The copper then informed us that the driver was concerned that as the fare was £16.00 (a lot of money in 1981) we might do a runner without paying. An argument ensued, during which the copper asked us our names. When we all replied "Dave Taylor", he then accused us of taking the p*ss.
The outcome? We were taken to a local Police Station, from where we were eventually put into a Police van and given a free lift to our mate's house, with a full apology from a very embarrassed Sergeant.
