LONDON -- English taxi driver Barry Bagshaw has had his fair share of celebrities in the back of his cab, but none caused as much astonishment as the fare who turned out to be his long lost son, according to a press report Friday. For 34 years he thought that he would never again see the boy he last met during the break-up of his first marriage. Now the two are making up for lost time, said the report in ***The Times***. Bagshaw, 61, picked up a fare from a motel in Brighton and after chatting for a few minutes realized that the man was his son, Colin, 39, who lives in Leeds in northern England and was on the last day of a three-week stay in southern England while looking for work. Colin Bagshaw had thought his father was dead.
