Protecting the Trade for individuals, guy's like me who are just out to make an honest living, I only have 1 licence, making the Trade un-attractive to infiltraitors and profiteers who are the REAL enslavers of our trade
Youve got one what about the guys who have none by buying your licence you climbed the lader above them, playing the game as its called, and by the rules you say.
can you tell me what rules
The rules of the Trade that where in place long before i became a cabbie!!!
I recommend you learn the rules by asking what is the norm within our Trade in Edinburgh
I didn't mind paying for the right to use an old boy's plate, i only paid £17,000 but hey the old boy after 35 years of investing in new taxi's i'm quite sure no one grudges the old boy the 17k i paid, this was 9 years ago.
I'm thinking you are new to the Taxi trade
After 35 years in the trade the old boy should have earned enough from that licence to have a retirement so why should he be able to sell the licence, it should just go back to the council that issued it and given to the person at the top of the list who has waited the longest for it. I don't agree with de-restriction, but, I don't agree with the buying and selling of licences either
