Sorry, but...

"Sorry I’m late, but it’s done me no favours either. I’ve been 30 minutes in traffic when I should have been making money, I can only put £4 on the clock for a call out, see."

This is what cab drivers in London say when they turn up a half hour late. It's verbal gymnastics of the highest calibre. A quick Cockney-fuck-you with the "I'm sorry, but" then straight into the complaint, a backfilp, now the blame's on you, a perfect dismount and suddenly you're the one that feels bad.

This fucking place man. I'm sorry, but...
