David Mellor Loses it with Cabbie

It would appear that Andrew Mitchell isn't the only Tory who (allegedly) thinks he knows better about stuff:

David Mellor recorded in furious row with taxi driver

That's fascinating Mr Mellor however I don't think any of them required you to pass 'the Knowledge' test did they or at the very least be driving round London on an almost daily basis for the last decade.

Re: David Mellor Loses it with Cabbie

A secret recording in a cab? Why would anybody think to put a recording device in a cab? If it was for security/driver safety wouldn't it be a video?

Sounds a bit dodgy to me...

Thoughts, anyone?

Re: David Mellor Loses it with Cabbie

My thinking as well. Given how many people discuss business in taxis, it might be a nice little earner for them on the side...

Re: David Mellor Loses it with Cabbie

As far as I can tell the cabbie used his mobile to make the recording after Mellor kicked off.
Some cabs certainly do have CCTV fitted, no idea on the sound aspect of such systems though.
