You can't say anything to them.

I got dragged in front of the licensing officer last year, I told a woman to keep the fare and buy some soap and deodorant and to clean herself up. They've got feelings according to the LO.

This is one of the reasons I went onto nights. I got fed up of hygeinically challenged passengers. At least those going out in the evening for a beer are decent enough to have a wash first :D

I had one the other week who had just come away from the Cricket test series. They had been in the Corporate section so basically not your average punter, six get into my cab (a seven seater) with plenty of room in the back. Soooo where does he sit? yep in the front and I swear that I could smell his underpants, I was driving with my head half out of the window, I was gagging.
