Taxi Driver Online

I have had his stuff emailed to me in Excel format that many times over the years that I have lost count.

I have scrutinised his info on many ocassions and apart from his interpretation of which London tariff should be treated as the night tariff [London has tariff two from 8.00pm to 10.00pm and tariff three from 10.00pm to 6.00am] I have never found fault with his stats.

This thread isn't discussing what Mr Roland does in relation to fares, it's about him getting it so wrong in relation to the % of councils that restrict, and the % of councils that don't.

The fact that he has got it so wrong, is the most unbelievable part of all of this.

The problem is that good people are going to quote those stats to the LC in their submissions, and the LC are going to assume those submitting haven't got a f***ing clue what they are on about.

To what end?, there are threads and threads on here with me and that old s*d arguing.....but I never once doubted his figures, he often took offence even when questioned, because he used to phone each council licensing department for updates.

in fact he knew if an area was considering deregulation before any of us.

He even went to lengths of giving warnings to certain folks that their surveys were nearly out of date

Ah botox, let it be a nasty surprise later.

Maybe in your neck of the woods but it's been alive and kicking in a lot other places for a while now and the enslaved pay for the privilege



I already suggested it at Coventry to Mr RP and he seemed genuinely interested in the suggestion but you never know with these people

That wasn't aimed at you btw, I know it looks like it was a reply to you but it wasn't, I wrote about something that I then decided I didn't want out in the open yet, so if and when it is necessary it'll come as a nasty surprise to those that caused it and it will hurt them considerably in the pocket, and as they obviously haven't considered it, it highlights just what a load of half informed people they really are,

I thought it classic when hearing the lady speak, words from someone who earns buckets presiding over something she has no knowledge of and in a I'm right as usual tone, well lets see how she likes it when Eastern European mafias are fronting cab after cab to supply drugs etc, something else she and her friends have given no consideration to, but how could she, she isn't on a rank driving is she, she's an expert at cab driving simply because she knows how to open the door and ride in one now and again, how dangerous,

If the LC do what I think they are going to, this is what a taxi will become,

Where you go, eh, what, yeah yeah

Excuse me driver are you aware this road is 30mph as you see 55mph on the dash

Oh shut up, Engleesh I know what I do

£8

It was £3 yesterday

£8 £8 gimme

THE END.

Mr Delta didn't seem to think so though, in view of his remarks against the Liverpool HC trade.

And I didn't notice Mr Roland proferring his views against the DEREGULATED PH trade, nor indeed the LC's proposals to deregulate it further.

Or maybe I missed that bit

I know, I was just in a sarky mood.
