 : Overweight people causing consternation for Berlin cabbies


Overweight people causing consternation for Berlin cabbies

A rather plump couple - the man weighing 674lb (aged 28) and the girl 367lb (aged 22) - embark on a cab ride in Berlin. The caption accompanying this picture explains that the weighty pair took some hours before they could bribe a driver plucky enough to convey them to the station
