These are anything but Happy Days for ‘The Fonz’ after being stung for a novelty ride through London.
TV star Henry Winkler, who played Arthur Fonzarelli in the hit U.S. sitcom, tweeted to his 1.1 million followers about the incident after receiving a huge bill for a rickshaw ride.
The 78-year-old fumed: “DO NOT take one of these bicycle taxis without absolutely negotiating the price first. This person in London rode us around in circles then finally to our destination 7 blocks away…for $170 US! My fault, I paid, but passenger beware!”
Winkler posted a picture taken from the back of the cab and said he “lost my mind” when presented with the bill. According to thesun.co.uk/, Winkler is in the UK to promote his autobiography, Being Henry.
Rogue rickshaw drivers in London face being licensed after complaints about outrageous fares. One man was allegedly charged $950 for a 10-minute trip.
