CABBIE: I know who I’m talking to. You’re David Mellor — so what?
MELLOR: I don’t want a lot of backchat. Just drive me there, and don’t think even with the limited supervision that you guys have today... I can’t take a lot of fuss from you.
Don’t you talk to me like this, I’m a Queen’s Counsel for all these years, and don’t ruin our day, just drive a sensible way. I don’t want to know how much you know about London because you don’t know as much about London as I do.
Take me the way I wanna go, OK, because that’s part of what you’re supposed to do.
CABBIE: I don’t have to get talked to like that.
MELLOR: I’d think carefully if I were you.
CABBIE: You don’t intimidate me.
MELLOR: I’m not trying to intimidate you.
CABBIE: You are.
MELLOR: I’m just sick of having to be in the same cab as you.
CABBIE: Listen, you got in here and then you start telling me which way to go, and I said, look, it’s Friday night, it’s ten to six, you may have lived in London 40 years or however long but I’ve been driving a cab for ten years.
MELLOR: You’ve been driving a cab for ten years, I’ve been in the Cabinet, I’m an award-winning broadcaster, I’m a Queen’s Counsel.
You think that your experiences are anything compared to mine?
Just shut up for Christ’s sake, drive whichever way you wanna go and keep a civil tongue in your head.
And don’t give me a lot of s**t.
CABBIE: You wanna calm down.
Mellor notes the cabbie’s number.
MELLOR: Of course you could apologise. I don’t suppose a guy like you does apologise, do you?
Because you think you’re a big s**t, having driven a cab for ten years.
You don’t need to worry about someone who’s been in the Cabinet, who’s an award-winning broadcaster, who’s a Queen’s Counsel.
Treat me like s**t, ruin my wife’s day. She’s been to the Palace and been awarded a major award.
You f*** up our day. Does that give you pleasure?
CABBIE: To be honest with you, Mr Mellor...
MELLOR: I don’t want to hear about you being honest, and if you think you’re going to be sarky with me, get a better education.
So if you’re not going to say you’re sorry, shut the f*** up. And you, cab number ****, listen to Ken and I tomorrow, you’re going to get a f***ing bucketful.
I have so many cabbies, when I get in a cab they listen to my show, and are proud to do so, I’m going to tell them what you’ve done.
Uber (controversial taxi-booking app taking black cab business) is going to be my thing now.
CABBIE: To be honest...
MELLOR: I don’t want to hear from you, shut the f*** up.
CABBIE: If you’ve had a bad experience I’ll apologise, but to be honest, I think...
MELLOR: I don’t want to hear this, do you understand? Shut up!
You either say you’re really sorry, you’re a little guy who will learn when you grow older, or you shut the f*** up and you don’t ruin my day any more. Your choice.
But tomorrow, cab number **** you’re getting it on LBC, before about 300,000 or 400,000 people.
CABBIE: I have apologised.
MELLOR: I don’t want to hear any more from you. You’ve f***ed up our day.
How dare you. Smart-arsed little b******.
Inaudible for a few moments.
MELLOR: How dare you? I can deal with you, but now she’s upset.
All you had to do was drive us back in a sensible way instead of being smart-arsed.
What’s that to be proud of? Anyway, cab driver **** you tune in tomorrow from ten.
And a lot of your old friends listen to my programme and know I’m a big supporter of black cabs.
Do you think they’re going to say ‘wonderful, clever little guy’?
Because they’re not. I’m going to tell them I’m supporting Uber from now on, and that’s all because of you.
And enjoy tomorrow because I will. Take a right here.
CABBIE: OK... right again?
MELLOR: Yeah. See what you’ve done to her, she’s telling me I’ve ruined her day.
YOU f***ing ruined her day. She’s been at Buckingham Palace, she’s seen Prince Charles, received a major award, and you, smart-arsed little git, have ruined her day. Are you proud of yourself?
You’ve been a taxi driver for ten years and such a great guy and I have to pay £30 for the limited privilege of being in your f***ing cab.
Do you get any of this, my little friend? Or do you need me to tell you tomorrow, on the radio, what a sweaty, stupid little s**t you are?
CABBIE: Sorry.
MELLOR: Stop here, by the red light. Then you can f*** off, and understand that you just ruined our day. Stop here.
Cab driver **** you’re going to go down in history as having turned London’s biggest black cab supporter into an Uber supporter.
And I’m going to say that on LBC tomorrow. You’ve got anyone you respect in the cab trade?
Because you won’t take it from me. You’ve done it for ten years, what about the people who have done it for 30 years?
You’ve done them no f***ing favours. Got anything to say?
CABBIE: I think you’ve got the wrong end of the stick, sir.
MELLOR: You are a sarky b****** and you’re going to get it. How much is it?
CABBIE: £29
MELLOR: What’s your name? I can’t call you number ****. Do you want to give me your name when I refer to you tomorrow?
CABBIE: (Giving false name) Brian.
MELLOR: Brian what?
CABBIE: R*****.
MELLOR: Right, Brian R*****. Listen in tomorrow and learn something.
I’ve learned that younger cab drivers should not be driving black cabs — you should be in some f***ing minicab.
CABBIE: Thank you.
