last night

After hailing a taxi on Euston Road in the middle of the night, I said to the taxi driver while standing on the curb: “Excuse me! Can you take someone to hospital, please? It’s urgent!”

Taxi driver to me: “Not if there’s any blood I won’t!”

“There’s not any blood. Will you take him or not?”

“Yeah, get in.”
