You've spent the day slaving away in the garden, washing the car, at work, or doing something else suitably gruelling, and then comes the dreaded "Dad, can I have a lift round to the shops please?" It's guaranteed to come just as you've settled down in your favourite chair to watch your favourite TV show. You want to tell them they've got two legs and could walk, but what sort of parent would that make you? The way things are going it'll soon be a genuine reason to ring Childline as well!

Set the meter running at the start of the journey, and upon arrival at their destination the kids will be given a receipt with an appropriate forfeit such as 'make dad a cup of tea', or 'tidy your room'. The Dads Cab Taxi Meter looks just like the real thing, and attaches easily to the dashboard. When not being used to measure mileage it also doubles as an alarm clock.

While it won't stop you feeling like a taxi service, it will add a bit of fun to your journeys, and if you should manage to get the odd cup of tea made for you as a thank-you all the better.

Features:

• Authentic looking Cab meter
• Functions as an alarm clock
• Comes with signs for 'Dads', 'Mums', and 'Family' Cab
