Mini Cabs From HellWe've all taken a dodgy cab in our time. One guy asked me to give him a back-rub in exchange for letting me off the fare. I was like, "here's the cash mate." Another chappy claimed to be Paddy Patel - a child actor from UK TV series Tuckers Luck - he drove like a speed freak and regaled me with stories that "playing a black Irish boy. England wasn't ready for it." So go on - tell us your worst and we'll tell the world.
[edit: for those confused by the term mini-cab, London has two sorts of taxis: highly regulated, licensed and salt-of-the-earth black cabs that you see in films and a whole bunch of unlicensed, uninsured, random cars driven by nutters who aren't supposed to pick up from the street (you have to phone for them). They are universally rubbish]

After a prettyheavy night of drinking, drugs and other excesses 3 of us hail a 'minicab' from Old Street (near the Banksy SO19 bridge) and ask the quite clearly stoned of his tits rasta cabbie how much for a cab to Rainham, all the way down the A13.
Cue Rasta driving at around 110mph down an A13 that they were still developing!
Being in the front seat naturally i was shitting myself, but he very kindly put on his reggae mixtape and in a strange parallel with another b3tan gave us a couple of spliffs worth of his weed.
Top bloke in all!
