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 very pleasant.The only funny cab story I know is when my mate couldn't pay so thought it was a great idea to do a runner. He didn't get very far before he was caught by the cabbie and a couple of his mates who he'd radioed. They then stabbed him 6 times with a screwdriver, leaving him in a bloody pile and pretty fvcked up.
The taxi fare was £4.50...
oh yeah, and a girl in my class in school didn't have fare one time so sucked off her taxi driver. She was 15.
Lovely place, Cardiff, innit.
