Does F.I.A.T stand for fun in a taxi?

For the first time since I bought it someone tried to flag down the old london taxi I trundle round in.I don't know who was the most suprised,me,or my potential fare when he spotted the dogs in the back.Before buying the taxi I was warned that people would be for ever trying to clamber in the back at every traffic light or hold up but this was the first time it had happened.




As the dogs were just returning from a swimming session the guy would have got a wet backside.With its plasic floor covering,the taxi is easy to hose down after one of their swimming sessions,especially when they've been on the beach,I wouldn't try that with one of those horrible a modern people carriers.
