The cab set off, and soon Ken began talking. “We’re on Kilburn High Road and it’s a straight run through St. John’s Wood.”
“Oh, that’s quite a posh area isn’t it?” Martin asked.
“Yeah, lousy tippers though.”
Colin wasn’t sure if that wasn’t Ken’s way of haggling for a decent tip at the end.
“Now we’ve got Lord’s cricket ground coming up here on our right.”
“Site of many a famous Aussie victory,” Matt added smugly.
“I’m more of a football fan,” Colin said, hoping not to get into a discussion on the state of the England cricket team.
“Who do you support, gov?” Ken asked.
“Leeds United.”
Ken made a derogatory comment under his breath. “The Gunners, now there’s a team,” he added, referring to Arsenal Football Club.
“Yeah, right,” Colin said.
