Dan Simon, who works as a rickshaw driver, said he got lost on his first job when he was transporting two men who wanted to go to Liverpool Street Station. Simon said he had "an allover ache that started at the bottom of my feet and worked its way all the way up to the bottom of neck. I was pouring with sweat and I ended up pulling the rickshaw over to the side of the street." It was raining, and the two men told Simon he was going the wrong way. He finally got them to their destination. "Then I went and ate like I've never eaten before in my life," he said.
