This one had me howling! Hilarious.
Last week a London Court ruled on a court case involving Apple Computer and the record label owned by the Beatles. How exciting.
At any rate, BBC called one Guy Kewney, the editor of Newswireless.net, to their studios to be interviewed about the court case. When a production flunky ran to the lobby to retrieve Mr. Kewney for the interview he managed to grab a clueless cab driver instead. The poor cabbie, who could barely speak English, was slammed onto the set and suddenly he was being interviewed about a case he knew nothing about!
You gotta give him credit. He was game... in spite of the look of absolute panic when he realized what was happening.
Here's the story.

There's a link in the story where you can watch the interview. Nobody knows who the cabbie is. They're looking for him, and if they find him he'll be an instant Brit celebrity. Thanks to Matt Drudge for finding the story, and Neal Boortz for posting it.
