The owner of AnD taxis, Clair Cook, had to make sure the object was removed after a complaint by a 15-year-old boy who thought the cross looked 'phallic' and was offended by it.
Cook thinks the complaint is 'ridiculous' and said the driver of the car was a devout Roman Catholic who wishes to remain anonymous. He bought the cross on holiday in Greece six years ago and could not believe that anyone could think of it as anything else but a cross. He has taken it of his deskboard though to avoid losing his licence.

My take on this:
I agree with the cab driver on this one. How can someone see this cross as something 'phallic'? I think the boy who was 'offended' by this cross needs to look up the word 'phallic' in his dictionary or google it to see some images because I think he is quite unaware of what the word means. I also feel that the cab driver should be allowed to put it back on his deskboard if he feels like it.
