I am a British-Arab though I do not look the Arab part. Last week I hailed a cab with my brother, on the way to our destination a car with three Pakistanis overtook our taxi driver in Berkeley square. The cabbie started swearing like it was the end of days 'you f*cking this and that!!!' then he turned to my brother and I and said in a strong cockney accent 'Faaakin 'ell, these faakin Arabs arr everywhere' We talked to the driver who was very open and polite to us, then my phone rang, I picked up my phone and in the loudest Arabic acccent I started talking to a friend in the UAE 'Salam oo Alaykom habibi-how is Dubai (blah blah blah)' He was shocked and the next 10 minutes in the taxi we spent was in hysterics in the back and silence in the front
