Cab blab!

The interview turned out a spoof
When the BBC made a huge goof
Instead of Kewney on air
They put a cabbie in his chair
And now cab fares are going through the roof!


Times Online 13/05/06: BBC falls for 'expert' cabbie's banter. The corporation’s News 24 channel later apologised to its viewers and admitted that its interviewee was not Guy Kewney, the respected editor of Newswireless.net, but a local taxi driver. Read about it here. You could also watch the amusing video clip of the interview here


Ok, here's an update:

Well he isn’t a cabbie, it seems,
Had come seeking the job of his dreams.
His first name being 'Guy',
It perhaps explains why,
He was aired live by the BBC’s teams!
