The Mezzanine

Wow, seriously? I honestly don't think I could do it - it's so ingrained in me to sit in the back. In fact, I can remember as a kid being worried when four of us in my family took a taxi home, which meant one person had to sit in the front... because until then, I had assumed that no one was ALLOWED to sit up the front with the driver. Curious. I'm going to have to poll my Sydney and Melbourne friends and compare notes. For the record, though, I *have* sat in the back seat of a Melbourne taxi before and the driver remained friendly. He may have thought me rude but didn't say it. ;)
