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]

Cabsonce when i was on holiday we decided to get a cab to are hotel, because walking there was a nightmare! The roads were tiny and it was suicide to walk up them at night. Anyway the inocent looking taxi pulled up, we got in the man turns his dance music on FULL BLAST! And put his foot down! We went belting it all the way up this dodgy road at about 70 miles an hour! swerving corners, dodging people oncoming and parked cars! With loud heavy dance music pounding through our ears! Lets just say it was a rush!
*mum climbs out car* "i wonder what that track was? I quite liked it!" Forget that mother! worry more about the near death experience!
