Don't get me going on this cowboy outfit again,

10 years ago GNER threatened to clear them out of the Stn and get rid of Stn Taxis, only for Stn Taxis to pull out the trump cards, we got 99 year lease on the office, so that was stopped in its tracks

I hear Mr Richard Branson, if he gets the franchise, is going to put up a pay as you go barrier for all, the other may go PH. I also hear that a big noise in the York taxi trade has sold his part in PH and is making big guns for Stn Taxis, you know who I mean, think taxi meters

also I thought it was illeagal to play about with drivers credit money to which they do

anyway it will all be sorted, 38 shareholders will have to cough up around 400 quid each just for the case above, this is the only firm with shareholdes to which I know who get no returns for their shares, but have to put their hands in their pockets every few months for bad management. wonder how many get rid of their shares in the next few weeks or stand their ground and say they arn't paying

The man with his fingers in the till is still doing it but working from home, he's entitled to work 16 hours per week whilst on benifits, anyway I thought he was a millionare, he will just sell the Rolls to pay the fine and proceeds back, or find more lettings for his Spanish villa

they can'tget rid of their shares as no one will buy them, and you may recall when someone tried to give one away it took him almost two weeks to find a mug who has since confessed that he wished he had never seen it.

There are plenty of mugs out there

I refer to what I heard today, that Taxi Plate management company owned by a certain person who sits at home buying and selling contracts for hackney plate hire and plate sales, "Only Fools and Horses" comes to mind, [keyword] has started up and got a decent porfolio of mugs wanting plates, and taxi plates on hire contract, you never know, it won't take him long to catch on with York Stn taxi shares, there's always a mug who can be conned out there.

£220 for basic plate rental per week, no stn permit, no vehicle, shortly going up another 20 quid a week as soon as the new meter rates kick in, I don't know his commission rates but it must be ok, cos it gives him a good living.

plenty of mugs [taxi drivers] are being conned and will never cease to end

Del boy also has a partner, who rents out his own two plates for £230 a week and between them they are plating private hire vehicles and renting them to the ethnic minorities between them they will bring the job down, you have been right for years the job is f***ed
