A journalist working for ITV has been in contact with me regarding illegal taxis in the UK.

He is based in Manchester and wants film of the illegal activities.

Anyone with info please PM me and I'll pass on his number.

regards

All he need do is go out any night of the week and stick his hand out, he will have first hand evidence, filmed or otherwise. Did you ask him if he had contacted the Manchester TOA?

If he's willing to travel to London, why not put him in contact with one of the trade bodies, I'm sure Grant Davies of the LCDC will be more than willing to take him on a whistlestop tour of central London.

If he's paying the metered rate, I'l take him. :wink:

Manchester would be ideal....evidence of patent and latent demand too.

I could take him around here....but he'd see none of that because we enforce the law up here....unlike the rest of you tow-rags :lol:

maybe he should try plating/badging up as a PH driver, and heading through a nightspot/hotspot at 2am sunday mornings and try forcing folk out the vehicle

he can hire my bangbus for a grand for the week
