Quote: The trade tells people it’s a profession, yet it seems to do everything it can to suggest it isn’t, more worryingly it doesn’t actually look like a profession but more a ragtag and bobtail outfit full of people who can’t do anything else. I quite like this bit Quote: I don’t know if some within the hackney carriage trade are stupid, no, I’ll rephrase that, I know some within the hackney carriage trade are stupid. Be they those cherry-pickers who charge £30 to go through a tunnel under the Mersey, or those other hackney drivers who seem to think they should be excluded from RTFC work. Either way, the public do remember being ripped off and they do remember a crap service. We
are not so much giving customers to private hire as driving them away. What surprises me is that still the HC trade wonder why it’s quiet I like this bit as well

There is probably not one Toots (save but the airlines) as they are all now basically run like a business and the man at the top has got to have his wedge. If you contact them to say that there is potentially 1/2000 members who could do with and need representation, they will instead of going out to the ranks to get it, tell you to go to them! It is by no small design that they have lost over the years 18/19 million members when they are too lazy to get off of their backsides to get it back. Unfortunately the drivers who could be self sufficient in themselves lack the trust and backbone to sort it out, oh and of course the greedy sods who would rather work ridiculous hours than have a Custers last stand that could give them a good life. |
