Who said I was happy with everything that is going on?

And people do haggle more and more in Brum when hiring a cab, so what's new?

There are too many negative in your thoughts; life isn't a bed of roses, but it ain't that bad.

Too many negatives in my thoughts ... after 40 years of being in the taxi trade I wonder how that happened.... but just to show you I can be positive...... Remember when everything goes pear-shaped..... I won't be in it..... now that is a positive... :P :P :P

And over the last 40 years, the cab trade hasn't paid your mortgage, hasn't fed you and your family, hasn't given you a reasonable living, etc., etc., etc.

If you've been a cabby for 40 years how can you advocate de-regulation, even as a PH driver you must know more mouths = less wages?

At the end of the day most politicians have their own agenda and take little or no account of reasoned argument thats why I stopped representing the trade locally so when push comes to shove and the new law is drafted it will be the interests of the financial supporters of the government whose influence will be greatest wether or not those are from the trade or from other transport areas who would like to see the trades ability to compete diminished is yet to be seen

My personal view is wait and see the draft legislation I doubt the law commission will have much influence on it but I bet the likes of Stagecoach, arriva addison lee delta smmt etc. will

There are a lot of people sitting in the shadows that will have a large influence on the outcome, the really sad thing is that those that have the least influence are the ones that will be most effected.
