point of sale ..... point of sale .. BIG TIP GIVEN IN THE SMALL TOWN OF LONG EATON!
The sun was following me around like a groupie at a Motley Crue concert. I put my hand up to block it out as I took in the splen- dour of the 900 year-old Parish Church of St. Lau- rence.
I had to squint to fight off its bright gaze as I investigated the roads outside the Palladian Long Eaton Hall. Then I grabbed a pair of sunglasses for my pleasant snoop through the network of waterways by Trent Lock. Wherever I turned, the sun was there – but sadly no taxis.
Solving my latest case was trickier than I thought it would be.

However, it wasn’t an unpleasant one. Find- ing my next sticker around this pictur- esque small town was a nice change to the big bustling cities I usually visit.
So I continued my investigation at the train station and that’s when I stopped in my tracks. Big blue eyes and trench coat, long blonde hair – my stick- er for sure! The timely owner was Caroline Curran and she was ecstatic about landing a grand from yours truly.
“I’m speechless! I’ve been waiting for the day to arrive. I have my bike, taxi, home and accident insur- ance with Swinton and
have got also got cashback. I think they are great!” Yet again, another investigation solved and another happy cabbie a £1000 rich- er… next month it could be you! Just remember no sticker, no tipper, so order yours before my next visit – or risk missing out on a wad of cash!
