An interesting side issue to this thread, Rainycityripoff the site that first broke this story, tell me that there has been a surge of referral's to their site by east European search engines.

I do not want to sound paranoid, but is somebody looking for a scam here. If anyone with contact to Alex could perhaps look at his stats for this blog, has he had referral's from east Europe as well.

I suspect TDO get zillions of spam, but as all e-mails go through the host thankfully they vet them all, and bin 99.99% of them.

As for the increase in traffic, the last time Alex mentioned it he said TDO gets several million hits a month, so I doubt some dodgy Eastern Europeans would effect it that much.

I have a copy of the report. It is nothing to worry about, after all the speculation, nothing will be done again. A complete waste of paper.

You must have an EMBARGOED EMBARGOED report then; double EMBRAGOED.

Because the one I have just read is saying something totally different.

So, just lets say, the report recommended or proposed legislation allowing adjoining councils to join up licensing, the lads in Manchester would welcome their neighbouring taxi drivers with open arms? :?

And if that was already happening, like it is in certain areas, could it be suggested the select committee are actually retarded?

The proposal for a Greater Manchester plate had already been mentioned last year. The new TfGMA are already working on it. For the new report to SUGGEST it means they probably are retarded.
