MAYOR REVEALS AMBITIOUS PLAN TO REDUCE TAXI COSTS TO GERMANY

Dr Pangloss today revealed his vision of how people will avoid exorbitant taxi fares in the future when they want to travel to Germany. 'The new road will bypass Dibley,' he explained, 'and then provide a high-speed link straight to Germany. It will be a souped-up version of a German autobahn and speeds of three thousand miles per hour will be possible. Instead of flying to Germany it will be much cheaper to take a taxi, and we will have so many German tourists we won't know what to do with them. Added to that, it will create more jobs here, and we will also be able to go over there and steal German jobs. It's a win-win situation.' When we pointed out that was more than three times the speed of sound the Mayor replied: 'Look, consultants have assured me it is possible, and that's good enough for me.'

Dear Editor, I think you have misquoted the Mayor's plans for revolutionising all transport in the area. We shall all be expected to travel by land train at three miles per hour. To publicise this wizard wheeze, you were moved to feature two pictures of Pangloss on the same page - an embarrassment of riches indeed!
