Well I can't recall ever reacting to anyone in the way that you do.

Why?

You just seem to dislike anyone contradicting you.


More irony :lol:

You seem incapable of any sort of argument at all, never mind a forceful one.

Yet you constantly seem to be loosing it. All the exclamation marks are a bit of a giveaway. :D

I am sure that as you get older ... you'll realise that arguing just for the sake of arguing isn't worth arguing about.... :shock: :)

Well I'd ask you to provide an example, but no point, because I know you won't be able to provide one.

I argue on the basis of facts and opinion, end of. Not for the sake of it.

Your point should in fact be aimed at those making gratuitous insults, but of course it isn't, because your point isn't about what you claim it to be, it's about disagreements about principle, as it always has been with the likes of yourself and other like minded people.

Simply attempts to divert attention from the substance and to discredit people in other ways. Nothing more, nothing less.

I haven't taken salt for nearly 20 years now, but I do like to sprinkle a lot of pepper.

It spices things up!!

Raising the requirement standards would be a benefit to everyone apart from the cowboys, I say bring in a national requirement of minimum English and maths skills for every private hire and taxi driver.

You look nicely set up there mate, very pro looking, I do hope you aren't mega cheap though, anyone can win if they undercut the other guy, downside is you attract the cheap seats and they aren't a desirable punter imo, anyway the point you put is a good one, only falls down though when someone takes a back hander to allow those through that they shouldn't, my town has a total of nearly 4000 licenced badges, I'm pretty certain no more than 500 are proficient at the job.

I'd also like to point out I believe this company is owned/part owned by Indians ? makes a big difference rather than it be Bangladeshi,Pakistani,Bengali, an Indian always thinks more like a British guy, so good luck for the future, but remember to keep it fair for the drivers as well or you will end up with a fleet of drivers that as you mention aren't suitable cos they are all that will work for you eventually.
