The story of how these lads conned a taxi driver out of €195 is the best we’ve heard in ages

Where did they find the mannequin?

We know getting a taxi home at the end of the night can be a pain in the ass for a few reasons. The rain, the difficulty of getting one to stop, the frustrating attempts to Hailo one, and the fact that you've no money to actually pay for one. "Three" guys getting a taxi from Brighton train station to London were in the latter pickle recently, no money. But they got away without paying the taxi driver the €195 fare by pulling off one of the most elaborate and creative pranks we've ever heard of. The story was in the Daily Star, read it here. A mannequin? What the hell were they doing with a mannequin? A brilliant story all the same.
