Well supose they have a right to protest if there earnings are droping at such a rate, hope the council listen and fix the problem, my god never seen as many [edited by admin] taxi drivers in my life, up here they are relatively rare

Naughty naughty. [-X

The word you used is a racist term.

I'm quite sure you will confirm you didn't mean it.

I don't think their earnings have dropped that low but you never know.

As for there being no Pakistani drivers up your way, once you get one you'll get loads within a very short space of time.

Well I am the other white bloke that you can see on shot, and I do about a job an hour, 8-10 hours usually equals around £50-£60 gross, but most of the ASIAN Taxi drivers don't do as many hours as me. Taxi driving in Brum is more of a hobby now than a job, but I love doing it.

The reason New Street is so important to us is that it is the only rank you can rely on to get your job within the hour. :shock:

I am impressed that you can tell the nationality of a man by looking at him. I Can't tell whether someone is Indian, Pakistani, Bengali, Iraqi, Turkish, Egyptian or anything else, just by seeing him on the telly.

Would have loved to seen the extra man being interviewed.

But nice to see so many drivers actually taking a stand.
