There has been lots of talk on the moribund and totally dead lists Of how PH is so professional and London Taxi drivers leave a lot to be desired.

Here are some examples of professional here today gone tomorrow PH attitudes

What would a London driver say to a passenger who asked to be taken home whilst, at first, having forgotten to give the address:

Answer: London driver; certainly where do you live.

Answer: PH Minicab driver, where the F*** do you live who do think I am Uri Geller?

Sometimes a passenger will ask, is this my taxi.

Answer: London driver, Is your name Mr. so and so. Yes sir this is your cab.

Answer: PH Minicab driver: I say, no it's mine that's why I'm driving it.

Some London cabs have a polite;Thank You For Not Smoking;

PH Minicabs want a notice that says: No Looking, No Touching, No Breathing, No Thick B*****ds.

Some ask politely. Can we smoke mate?

Answer: London driver: It is preferably a no smoking cab but I will leave it up to you.

Answer: PH Minicab driver: no, punter why? Me because it says no smoking that's why. Daft B*****DS

Claude,

Whilst I see the point you are making, the difference is NOT between a hackney driver and a private hire driver.

It is between someone who cares about their job and an a***hole.

I would be prepared to bet that there are as many good PH drivers as there are poor / arrogant hackney drivers.

Those examples may well be true, and there is no excuse for such rudeness.

However Claude, if you believe that such behavior only ever happens in the licensed PH trade, I'm afraid you are wrong.

But it makes for good conversation on the ranks. :D

Maurice is just trying to wind certain people up.

He knows that no one will take simplistic generalisations like that seriously.

>>"It is between someone who cares about their job and an a***hole."<<

Precisely Dave, spot On. That's the point I was making

You see it's a matter of record Dave. No wonder such sentiments were hidden in the guise of members only forum. Lucky that there are people like me that can bring such things to light. They will wipe this PH own goal soon. That's the way they do things.

Hilarious is it?

I think it highlights how the wishy washy licensing that some of you are a part of leads to an unprofessional approach to the job. You are here today gone tomorrow playing at being cab drivers. You have no proper knowledge or training of any sort and that leads to a couldn’t care a less as far as the job is concerned.

Take Nidge for instance he dumps some women passengers out of his car into the dead of night and is called to account by the licensing officer. What does he do? He tells the officer he can have the license it is in the car. He does not care about the job or the passengers. He is on record as saying "he can have it with pleasure, F**K the job."

Now that is the issue here. It is the flotsam and jetsam who have no real stake or commitment to cab driving as a profession. They get the family Mondeo out and think this is enough to make them cab drivers.

Yes Maurice, but when they want to license the London minicab drivers, and hopefully generate some commitment, some London taxi drivers mump and moan about it as if it was the end of the world!

So what happens if he didn't stop and these 4 women sexually attacked him or worse still forced him to crash the car.

Stop this "what a wussy" attitude if a female driver had her fanny grabbed you'd be after hanging the bloke, and some on here argue about discrimination.

F-in cockney's I've $hit em.

As this is not a football list I hope I am not misconstruing these chants as a threat. After all remember Will we pay you a visit post?

"F-in cockney's I've $hit em." and "he's only a poor little Hammer, his clothes are all tattered and torn, he came for a fight so we set him alight and now he don't come any more"

Now I can see a bit more clearly why there is anti London sentiment coming from your little group. You lot are imbued with some of the unsavory Knuckle head football notions that every one is your enemy.

Your have some one chanting:

He's only a poor little scouser,
His clothes are all tattered and torn.
He gave me some stick,
So I hit him with a brick
And now he don't sing anymore...

Soon.

Now that is apt, metaphorical speaking. As you are easy meat and can be confounded at every turn. Your little group started all this anti London stick you get turned back on yourself at every point and you can’t take it. You scream like stuck pigs.

I will be giving up on you soon as I think I have proved the main players are little xenophobes. It was an easy task.

Ha ha ha ( I am truly laughing here) Poor little mite. Such an event would have scarred him for life. He might have needed counseling for the rest of his life. He might even get an eating disorder and turn bulimic or something due to flashbacks

I think we better keep this one quiet. After all if the bouncing trade were ever to get wind of it he would be drummed out of the Federation For Master Bouncers.

BTW did you ever see that film with Steve Martin in it about family life. He crashed his car when he was so shocked due the fact he was about to be given a blow job whilst he was driving. The copper asked “How did this accident happen” to which Steve Martin replied “Are you going to tell darling or am I”

Cor blimey guv this the best laugh I have had on this forum. No wonder Nidge has gone all quiet.

I just thought I would give a little post script to these posts.

For months, on the list previously mentioned, the anti London brigade combed through the London list and other publications and News papers to twist and turn sentiments and happenings in order to help their own distorted ambition to belittle London cab drivers and London inhabitant as a whole.

Witness the lying despicable posts implying London drivers rip off the wheelchair bound and such like.

When the tables are turned and their tactics are used against them they get very upset and can't hack it. And don’t forget the post I made happens to be true and the events are quotable. Just a thought for you to ponder.

The London Driver is the best
but very arogant to the rest
whenever they have to post
they get the flack from the most

they get the flack from North East
they treat london driver like a beast
Im not anti London comes the cry.
why half my family are there to ply.

From Mansfied they go for the gut
I will pick your vehicle dont say but,
I will drive mondeo good and true
but ive decided its lti for you,

So London drivers bites back,
forever tired under attack,
we do our job better than them,
if you dont believe me ask red ken,

keep out of my patch,
you cant decide who is my match,
youve got choice all the time
cant I have anything to call just mine?

back to suburbia the attackers do crawl,
After Maurice has had his maul
set up your own forum comes a shout
and Maurice asks what are you on about?
