Lost Property PageOne of the most funniest things was when a lady rang me up and told me she had lost a pair of ladies underwear in the back of one of our taxies. How do you ask a driver over the air, with all other drivers listening in and of course the passengers, that a lady has just used your cab, and has lost her knickers in the back seat of your cab, that caused more laughs and witty answers than any other moment i have known. The lady on the phone ended up in fits of laughter, it was all innocent however, she had been to Creasey's and bought some new underwear and had left them in the cab, being me i had left that bit out over the air for quite some time.
Many years ago, i dropped a lady passenger off at St.Martins, she paid her fare, got out the cab and off she strolled. I was just about to drive off when i noticed on the floor in the back of the cab, was a shopping back. Being nosey, i put my hand in to open it and see what was inside, hellfire, there was a searing pain in my middle finger, and hanging on the end of it was this demented Spider Crab hell bent on getting some revenge.
