I think it's a badly programmed bot. It often uses colours like "red" to refer to people as well. Also, has some problem, where it can't make, sentences, without adding, a comma, at least, every 3 words. It randomly changes to writing in other languages, too.
It can't be that badly programmed; it can direct you clear across London with fewer than three digressions.
By Jove, I think they’re getting it, although with hindsight, I do notice a surfeit of commas, desolé.

It's hopeless if you want to go anywhere south of the river.
Did Frank drive a cab then?

Très drôle Doofus,
My wife, my Nicky, or sometimes just Red, she, nor I, would never countenance voting for Labour, was it that difficult to see that was what she meant when she replied to the Labour canvasser?
In not quite sure you have the jist of this thread.

He just wants to talk about t***s, America, "Red/my Nicky" and come across all sophisticated because he can cobble together a bit of French. That's it. In every post he makes I think he sees it as a challenge to shoehorn in some banal mention all 4 if he can.

Oh believe me I do, and it’s gist not jist, but admittedly I strayed from the true path a bit with my post about my wife castigating the Labour canvasser.
2.5 years on here, and I still find multiple quoting a mystery, (compared to other forums), but I have to congratulate all those who piled in with their libellous assertions about my alleged shortcomings when I drove a taxi.
I’m well aware that I bring it on my own head, but keep it coming, I can stand it.
Just an aside, hand on heart, that “south of the river” canard didn’t apply to me, Camden or Camberwell, Dalston or Dulwich, it didn’t faze me, as long as they could pay, I took them anywhere.

Gist means “essence” or “the main point.” In a legal context, gist is the grounds of a legal action. Jist is a common misspelling of gist.

I’ll accept that as true, but I prefer to see a word correctly spelled if I know how it’s spelled.
e.g., if I had to write Irish whiskey, I’d make sure that I put an e in there, to differentiate between Scotch whisky and Irish whiskey.

Lemming, you're my new hero and possibly speak for many of us. You did, however, omit the American stuff. Y'all, subway, dime and so on.

One or two threads periodically descend into Frank7-bashing and it's pretty unedifying. If you don't like his posts just ignore them. The snide comments are especially rich when they come from those that routinely post utter ste but are very quick to point fingers at others.

Is the thread going to be renamed "Classic from the Frank7" frown

It does get a little tiresome having to skip over half the thread though.

They're all much the same anyway, some random often barely associated anecdote about Frank's time in America or as a taxi driver. Much like being sat in a taxi with him one assumes, along with it seems, a rant about how bad Labour are.

Next up, "Cash only mate. Now, I'm not racist, but..." and other classic taxi driver tropes?

Christmas eve, 9pm 1980, London public transport was shutting down for Xmas, so stuck @ Charing Cross. Taxi driver refused to take me to South Norwood.

Was that Frank?

I'd say that was his good deed for the day.
