Going the extra mile (or 2,500)

How about this for a tale of extraordinary customer service.

New York taxi driver Douglas Guldeniz drove an elderly couple all the way from their home in Queens, NYC, to their retirement home in Arizona, 2500 miles away, in the city's longest ever taxi journey.

Guldeniz earned himself the New York Taxi and Limousine Comission's 'Going The Extra Mile' award (and the £1,500 fare!) for his efforts.

"If my passengers, they want to dance, then I want to dance for them," He said.

Not too sure about the dancing part... but what a great guy!

Brown Porridge.

Gordon's not had a good week:

He's down in the polls, been voted Briatain's most boring man and now is being accused of having communication skills equivalent to haggis!?
Lord Desai even said "with Mr Brown as leader it would be very difficult for Labour to win the next election."
What next for Gordon?
