When I bought a Hackney Plate for £15,000, 11 years ago, my friend who was, and still is on private hire laughed at me and said "you don't own it you know, and they might de regulate, your'e better off like me on private hire"
I went to work when ever I wanted or in most cases needed to, he had to work shifts laid down by the company, if I did not want to go out I did not have to tell anyone, he had to report in, and then face disciplinaries if he does not work when told he has to, over the years he has paid more than £46,000 in radio rent and has nothing, so if they do de regulate next week I have earned as much as him and still spent £31,000 less and if they don't de regulate he will still be spending his radio rent and I can sell the plate for twice the cost, and he still maintains he did the right thing, I coloured my hair last week because they thought I was a dumb blonde, I don't think so.
I am just writing to say goodbye, I have sold the plate which was not mine for three and a half times what I paid for it plus it has given me a living for 11 years off to fill shelves at Asda...................
