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]

drivers worst nightmareI had been to a rave in the middle of nowhere (Lydd airport) with my brother and the next morning we walked into lydd to get a cab back to ashford (about 1/2 an hour away) to catch the train home. about 2 minutes after getting into the cab some wally pulled out in front of the cab forcing him to hit the brakes hard. it was just them my brother 'decided' to have an epileptic fit. I knew there wasn't much we could do other than wait for it to pass so I made him drive all the way to the station with my brother twitching and drooling in the back. then to top it all I only just had enough money for the fare so he got a 50p tip
