ps, do you own a pair of binoculars and a anorak.By coincidence I heard the news on radio today and it surprised me how many different types of monopoly boards there actually are? Perhaps someone should come up with Taxi monopoly and you never know Trevor you might even get a space on the board? lol Perhaps TDO subscribers can think of their own board design and who they think would fit in appropriately?

Well I think they have got the Liverpool bit right, and maybe Blackpool should be Whitechapel. Waterworks should be the likes of the T&G defending quotas. 
Free Parking should be 'free access for all'. Taking a 'chance' should be the preserve of the limo and hummer mobs, or maybe even their punters. 
The 'dog' should be the TX range, and the 'top hat' should go to all the lads on TDO. The 'boat' should signify the lawyers who earn (through doing very little) nice holidays out of the taxi/PH trade. And clearly if we had to send all the bad guys in the licensed and un-licensed trade to jail, one has to wonder how many there would be left 'just visiting'.

Not happy in the Old Kent Road. 
Rogue taxi drivers I SPEAK for the many taxi drivers of Liverpool, private hire drivers and taxi drivers, who go out to work the city every day and find that we are constantly overwhelmed with private hire cars from the Sefton area. They are not badge plated or insured for the Liverpool area, yet we are overrun. Basically, they are taking the bread out of our families’ mouths. Why is Sefton council allowed to keep issuing private hire taxi plates, when Sefton is already saturated to the point that they are working in Liverpool? It’s about time that us Liverpool plated taxi drivers stuck together and got rid of the Sefton private hires. Tom Murphy, Liverpool taxi driver for 30 years |

When there was a 1000 to 1200 private hire cars in Sefton a great many of them were doubles shifted giving a good cover both day and night, but now with 2200 the majority are single shifted vehicles mostly working days and a few hours at the weekend, so obviously the area of daytime work has had to expand, the new breed of the driver is installed with the concept of working for a minimum wage, it will spread.

Tom Murphy, Liverpool taxi driver for 30 years Reply from someone casting doubt on the above.
WHAT a load of rubbish from a taxi driver of 30 years (ECHO Letters, Sept 26). Sefton private hire cabs are not insured to work in the Liverpool area, he stated. He must know that is untrue. Every time a Liverpool resident phones up for a Sefton private hire cab they vote for what kind of service they want. Are we to believe that no Liverpool residents are working on Sefton plated cabs? What exactly is he suggesting when he says Liverpool drivers should stick together and rid Liverpool of Sefton private hires? The people have a choice and they are using it.

I suppose this is a rant about competition? Quote: They are not badge plated or insured for the Liverpool area, yet we are overrun. Basically, they are taking the bread out of our families’ mouths. I'm afraid sir, they are licensed and badged but not by Liverpool, certainly insured. Quote: Why is Sefton council allowed to keep issuing private hire taxi plates, when Sefton is already saturated to the point that they are working in Liverpool? Considering you have been in the trade 30 years I'm surprised you don't already know the answer to that question? Quote: It’s about time that us Liverpool plated taxi drivers stuck together and got rid of the Sefton private hires. I suppose you have a plan of action and a remedy in mind? Quote: Tom Murphy, Liverpool taxi driver for 30 years
Considering you have been a cabbie for that long Mr Murphy I'm really surprised that you are not conversant with the law? How many more like you in Liverpool? Regards JD |

That is not 2 phrases that are often seen together. Conversant with the law and people from Liverpool.
