Taxi tale of tail from Spain

Every London cabbie has a story, and John Jupp’s is a little different from most. Not long ago a regular client asked if he allowed dogs in his taxi. John answered yes, and so began one of the longest and strangest fares of his career.

Newslite reports his lady client wanted the cabbie to pick up her dog. The only unusual thing about the request was that the Labrador was in the Spanish capital, Madrid.

John took a ferry to Santander in Northern Spain, and then drove to Madrid. After picking up the pampered pooch it was a 16 hour journey back to London.

John and his client haven’t discussed how much the round trip cost, but let’s hope he got a good tip at the end of it.
