Taxi Driver Online

just found out that not only does the advertising tv system supplied by cab'ti'vate edinburgh not recieve a charge for this advertising by the council while all other adverts do(liveries tip up seats supersides etc)
but! all adverts approved by the advertising standards agency can be applied on taxis or anywhere else,however edinburgh council always vet the adverts going on taxis again.
however they dont vet any of the adverts going through cabtivates systems.
something stinks here
someone must be getting brown envolopes

Good Gosh, send in the untouchables


Are You Strong Enough to Handle Critics?

Theodore Roosevelt




It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes short again and again because there is no effort without error and shortcomings, who knows the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at his best knows in the end the high achievement of triumph and who at worst, if he fails while daring greatly, knows his place shall never be with those timid and cold souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

the point is why the prefferencial treatment

why do people always quote, is it becouse they find the original thought so hard ???

quite good, obviously cleverer than you look

Mack, Diesel why don't you try and answer the post?

Explain to all why Mr Greenhalgh should expect preferential treatment?

I like the quote Mack it sounds just about right and I see you know my friends, Victory and Defeat.

Trust me on this one Mack, as long as I draw breath that [edited by admin] Council will know both as well.

Here is the answer which I will give to President Roosevelt... We shall not fail or falter; we shall not weaken or tire. Neither the sudden shock of battle nor the long-drawn trials of vigilance and exertion will wear us down. Give us the tools and we will finish the job.
Sir Winston Churchill, Radio speech, 1941
British politician (1874 - 1965)

Okay I will endeavour to do just that, my theory as to why Mr Greenhalgh did not receive preferential treatment by the act of the Council not checking the advertisments broadcast on the Cabtivate system is just that, they are broadcast! therefore it follows that the advertisments will have been submitted to the BACC or The Advertising Standards Agency or some other body for checking, it has always been like that in this Country, Everything filled in thrice and signed by a Vicar or High Court Judge (did anyone actually know one of these people ) so what are you suggesting, that the Council should check the Television sets on display in shop windows for the standard of the advertising?


Anyway thats my theory, but as it features one of your Nemesis you will dispute it anyway.

no what im suggesting if you read my post correctly is this

the advertising standards agency approve advert for use in the uk correct.
the c.e.c vet all adverts going on taxi's in einburgh correctgod knows why but they do!
the c.e.c charge a fee for adverts on taxi's correct

everyone gets charged these fee's everyone gets thier adverts vetted correct

except mr greengrass whose business seems to bypass all of the above?

oh and another thing ,you are correct these adverts are a type of broadcast
however they are, i believe uploaded to a hard drive in the taxi and stored and played from that hard drive.
and i am sure if requested by c.e.c mr greengrass would be able to supply these to c.e.c before them going live (after all they are probably stored ready for broadcast from cabtivates offices????)

I'll come in with my twopenneth.

As with Edinburgh Council approving you Taxi liverys, the PCO mirror that down here.

All adverts are run past then first and they approve or reject them.

They might charge a fee for this? but i'm not certain.

The CabVision system (not the same company as above) is approved for fitting as a system, the adverts however are not checked, the PCO relying on the appropriate media company supplying suitable viewing material (which is usualy BBC or Sky with ad's)

Plate holder or driver Mack which is it?

An aspiring or should that be, aspirant driver

Now that you've retired Skull, are you going to open a chip shop? Gawd knows your overheads will be minimal if you serve up the chips on your shoulders - they'll keep you going for months if not years!!!
YOU are the only one who goes on and on about plate values - owners in Edinburgh just get on with the job. The only time it might concern them is when they want to retire, but until then, very few even think about it.
Why does everything boil down to "driver or owner?" I know that the views held by people within the taxi trade in Edinburgh do not depend on whether they are "drivers or owners" so why not realise that YOU are wrong and change the record.

I beg to differ, plate values are an issue many people go on and on about.

Bit like house prices, those with premiums like to talk them up, whilst those without wish they didn't exist in the first place.

Also high plate prices are evidence of SUD, and all good survey firms take plate values into consideration whilst surveying.

Which is why Jacobs missed it.
