This is straight out of a 'Derek and Clive' skit. https://derekandclive.uk/come-again/back-of-the-cab/ Derek: Yeah, well I had the same experience. I, er, opened the cab door for somebody who hailed me on the corner… Clive: Who was that? “Hailed” you? Derek: Richard Wagner. Clive: Richard Wagner? Derek: Yeah. Clive: But he’s been dead two hundred years.
