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]

Tunisia1990 - Tunisia with girlfriend and another couple. Local taxi going into town. Its 100 degrees in the shade and the driver has the heater on full blast to try and keep the engine cool.
I am in the front seat with my 3 friends in the back and we are sweating pigs. Very slowly, the taxi driver moves his hand onto my knee and gives it a gentle squeeze whilst at the same time giving me a lovely almost toothless grin.
Its amazing how the fear of jumping from a moving vehicle dissapears quickly as a strange sweaty hand starts to move up your shorts.
No wonder I am in therapy ;-)
