thinks2much said:By far the dodgiest cabbies I have had so far where in Rome, at the airport, they kept on trying to tell me my airport pick-up had been cancelled and would only charge me 90 euros to get me there (waaay more than it should cost)
The cab drivers in the UK are a laugh though, most of them just want to talk about Australia, which means you end up spending most of the ride telling them how dangerous all of our animals are…particularly the koalas
Have to agree with Rome cabbies. Had flight cancelled late one night and as a result had free cab ride to local sheraton wheree we were put up overnight (sweet!) and said caddie proceeded to strap the shit out of his ride. No idea how fast we were going but he ran the revs to the max through every gear until we were flying through motorway traffic likr Need 4 Speed. We arrived safely enough and in my token italian I congtatulated him on being the next Micheal Schumacher. It must have struck a cord as he couldn't stop laughing and even carried our bags to our room.
Special mention must go to the 50% of brissie cabbies who would come inside for bucket bongs after dropping us home most nights out when living in a sharehouse in St Lucia.
