Earlier this week a veteran taxi driver told me he was a great fan of Elvis Presley. He reminded me of another singing taxi driver a few years ago who said he was a former folk singer, before suddenly bursting forth into song with Danny Boy. On one journey at the height of the unrest, a taxi driver put on a cassette tape and I braced myself for another lecture on democracy. That taxi driver was a true local hero. PS: If your taxi driver starts singing Nessun Dorma, it might be a good idea to get out.
