I carry the Anti bacterial gel same as they use in hospital's and use it a couple of times a day and before i eat something if i am eating in the cab.

I had a fare probably about 5/6 months ago got his money out and for some strange unknown reason put a pound coin in his mouth and started sucking it and then gave it to me! very odd thing to do. :doubt:
