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]

We booked a minicab transfer from our hotel in rhodeswhen it turned up there was already 3 people in it, so the Cypriot forced our bags into the boot and laced them together with his tow rope to stop them falling our, he then preceded to do 110mph in 20 year old E class Mercedes through dirt tracks. On reflection I truly felt as if I'd partaken in a chase scene from the dukes of hazzards that day.
