metrocab

The other approved model of London "Black cab", constructed of GRP in Tamworth. Favoured by some taxi drivers due to price. Boxy design (looks like a cross between an old volvo and a bus) means nowhere near as famous as the London Taxi. See also plastic pig.

Im not hailing that metrocab

Weak lager beer, such as Carling, Fosters etc. Tastes like piss and drunk by the bucketload by scallies (but its only 3.5%).

Stop drinking that disco piss you scally wanker and get a proper beverage.
