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]

On our way back from a night out in Manchester...there were four of us in the back of one of those black cabs that you can pick up anywhere, seemingly (but not when you want one)...
anyway, i was on the rear facing seat with my (drunk) mate opposite. He barfed. loads. with his hands over his mouth. and the driver was a twat and he wouldnt pull over, so it went bloody everywhere. he charged us 50 quid, the bastard.
