[T Minus Four]

A taxi driver has decapitated himself in his black cab...

What possible difference did it make what color the cab was? Reporter paid by the word?

It isn’t a reference to the actual color the cab was painted. It’s a type of hackney
that’s referred to as a “black cab” even if the actual color isn’t black.

You’re way too paranoid.

Before someone loads you up with too much information, it’s a particular cab company. Kind of like Yellow Cab in the U.S. Or Black President.

(And no... that’s not a racist remark)
