Just thought I'd ask before I go into the whole female "you don't listen" "you never understand" "touchy" "feely" kinda thing - as it seems that any post that I make is totally ignored by the majority on here (there are exceptions but not wishing to give them an unfair testosterone boost I won't mention them!)

I've never been paranoid and since I was always a tomboy I never really got in to the whole girlie vs macho thing - until now!

I have to say that looking in there does seem to be this horrid stench of "its a man's game" on here at the moment. I'm NOT a pink lady nicking your trade; purely a mother in need of a needs to an ends and took to cabbying as it fitted in around school hours and now the kids can lok after themselves - its my LIFE!

Using the PMT excuse as a last resort - if the attitudes of the majority on here are anything to go by then is it any wonder that the likes of PinkLadys and LadyCabs exists? You are doing yourselves no credit guys - we're here, we're gonna stay - so accept it!

I work 90 plus hours a week, I have MEN working FOR ME in MY CABS (all Hack); I fully support not allowing mini-cabs etc to take over and abuse outdated laws; i accept that laws need updating. Our whole industry needs a complete overhaul (hey - I could have said wax and facial but I didn't!) But wake up and smell the roses guys - without the WOMEN in OUR industry CHANGE WON'T HAPPEN; believe me we are the ones that you want on side who can argue far better than any man - just trying getting half the bed and quilt and see where that gets you. We are the ones with the balls to stand up and be heard and heard we will be!

Something you don't often get from a women but I APLOGISE for this outburst but the genuine people on here will know that I have only posted this because I care and because I am f*($d off with people behaving in such a manner as that the next person that say when getting in my cab "oh! your a woman!" is going to get my tits flashed at them and told "Yep, but the whole sex change hasn't been completed yet!"

Grrrrrrrr! Grrrrr!!!!!! GGGGGrrRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!

Why arn't you complaining about the language on this site ! I find it appalling that so often people resort to the language of the gutter, I would never intentionally use profane language in the prescence of a lady, female, girl etc. Putting astericks is no excuse its insulting to woman and degrading to all men. Women make a very valid contribution to the trade and you have my respect and my apologies for the bad language used by our collegues.

Get on Tigger well said indeed, if half the people on here got on with their own business instead of interfering with everyone elses they too would earn so much more money. Nice posting :D

Its about self respect and respecting fellow human beings. If we act like rabble we get treated like rabble.

Since Tigger is a woman and has used profane language in her post then presumably you're being ironic?

Nice one, but judging by the response to your post then the sublety of your irony is perhaps lost on some?

However, it does perhaps explain a lot of what you post :D

By the way, I'm sure the word censor in the forum software picked up a banned word from you a few days ago, so what was it? [-(

It's not the smell of your oestrogen that worries me!!! it's the drivel you talk sometimes, PMT, dizzy blonde, woman in a mans world, in one case a rape story although they have never caught him, although you said you have CCTV fitted?

Sorry, political correctness is a thing of the past for me, does the Bella or the womans weekly not have a forum you could use.

I bet your really a male.

Profane language isnt just swearing!
Most of the tosh that comes out of your mouth is profane to me!!
And DONT EVER apologise on my behalf, if an apology is needed then i'm quite capable of doing it myself.

Tigger, i didnt realise you were female, i dont have anything against lady drivers, we have 4 or 5 on our system and we all get along great. In fact it's the women who tell all the best dirty jokes!

Yes a word was changed, perhaps you can explain why ?
I typed F-I-L-T-H, police and it was censored why is that considered offensive. See you changed it again !
I am not aware of any post containing anything offensive.
The fact women swear as well neither excuses or endorses such language on a public forum. It is unprofessional.

But dont you lot get sick of listening to these whinging women, lets face it if you were to stick your hand down the likes of tiggers knickers it would probably feel like a horse trying to get a sugar lump out of your hand, it's all rubbish really.

Profane enough for you? :lol:

Thankfully I don't deal with that side of things, but it may have been something to do with references to the police.

By the way, once the word in question is specified in the software then every time it's mentioned in future it's changed - it's not done on an individual basis.

By the way, I find some of what you post offensive, but you've got freedom of expression on your side. :?

A lot of my posts on here remain unread/unanswered the thing is this is a busy forum and many of the members are interested in certain aspects of the trade so if your posts are being ignored it is probably more to do with being of little interest to readers rather than ignoring you because of your sex

Taxi driving is not a mans world at all there are a lot of women drivers in the trade and i would think that almost everyone on here is well aware of that so keep posting and remember if you want attention post something controvertial or overtly political that usually gets a few of them going !
