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]

I'd send em back mateA few years ago I did a cruise sailing from Dover. The taxi driver who took me from my hotel to the ship was very scary. He had some very right wing views on illegal immigrants, far too many tattoos and a general air of someone who might suddenly decide to stab you because the voices told him to. (Admittedly the last two are fairly normal for residents of Dover - it is twinned with Royston Vasey.)
