You most certainly can be flagged in another area. I have been many times.

That's as maybe but you can't stop and pick them up now can you [-X

I didn't write that I picked them up.

Yes, as long as your council doesn't have a 'return to nearest rank' clause in your licensing conditions,

Wouldn't that only apply in that councils district ?

How would the council know which area you were predominately working in without following you 24/7 ?

tcabbie- I am currently on a radio in mk the rantal in 120pw and because its a private-hire firm there fares are low and sometimes i can be waiting at the station for nearly 2hours hoping for a good fares and the firm radio through a fares which is only like £4.
I don't know why but i never get jobs while waiting on rank but soon as i gtt 3rd, 2nd or 1st my radio starts sending jobs
And + 120pw is too much
I tried working without radio but still its not worth so thinking over area work during week on radio and work milton keynes ranks on weekends as its busy only weekends.

I'm not a hackney driver.

But it often amuses me when many hackney drivers bemoan PH picking up illegally when they will gladly do so out of area.

Funniest one was a big pop concert weekend just outside of the border and there was dozens ranking up. Same with the new football ground pick up/rank spaces.

But in all fairness the have a relatively good excuse, i.e. they haven't got a f***ing clue about anything. ](*,)

And their so-called reps are the thickiest (is that a word?) of the lot. ](*,)

But to answer your question, no I don't.

Basically he's saying you lot have three hundred cabs, you guys are an example of why deregulation or what ever else they want to call it doesn't work.

You have achieved market saturation, more supply than demand, Didnt think Milton Keynes central could take that many cabs.
