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]

Not London and in a black cabI was coming home from a club in Preston with a mate and the cab stopped at a red light.There was a nice young lady standing in front of a shop,who looked like she was waiting for a taxi herself.The cabbie winds down the window and shouts "Are you working,love?".Said lady walks towards the car,but the lights change and he drives away.Then comes the worst bit.Heturns to us and says "She would have blown you in the back seat for a tenner.and I could have watched."
