When, exactly did you meet me? :mrgreen: And I prefer young at heart!
And Toots was a woman when she came to play with my long pink thingy.

Wasn't referring to you grandad, since you describe yourself as 'old' rather than middle-aged :D

But is there anyone on here apart from myself that Toots hasn't met?

Just shows what an avatar can do, and proves the point I was making earlier :lol:

Does it matter! Toots is Toots, regardless, input as valid as every other member, but maybe with another take on some of the problems we all come across.

There are lots of people on here I haven't met yet and I like to think that most see past the avatar. I was thinking of pinching wee eddies avatar, cropping it, rotating it and using that :wink: that aside it enables me to understand more about the different situations people are in and being female 'nosy' is my nature :lol: It's a shame that those about to interfere with laws and licensing haven't mingled with the ordinary members of the trade such as myself and all of you in a similar way over a cup of coffee

I certainly can't see any sign of any man bits in Toots's avatar - which, for the benefit of newbies, is a picture of Toots herself - indeed quite the contrary.

But perhaps the reason many people think she's a man is because when they come into an environment dominated by balding middle-aged men with big bellies then when they see a sexually provacative image of a female with her legs apart then they assume it must have been placed there by a male, not by the female in the image :roll:

But I suppose it takes all sorts :D

as opposed to what
middle aged woman with pot bellies :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
she does seem to get around,maybe she's a member of www.meetchubbiesonline.com :lol:

htf says it all.

Restricting taxis does contribute to the dilution of women's safety. End of. two females have been raped in Edinburgh because they got into an unlicensed vehicle rather than a taxi they couldn't get.

So, why would any woman place vested interest before women's safety?

I don't know any that would. So Toots can't be a female.

Or have women metamorphosed into selfish alpha male characters?

:badgrin:

Girls will continue to get raped whether there is one taxi or a million taxis on the road, however, if you educate woman and young girls about safety for themselves the risk is reduced. If you believe that restriction of taxis dilutes the safetyof women how many taxis do you think a place like Edinburgh needs to make it a safe place? How are you going to stop, young girls in particular, from walking past taxis to try and find a ph saloon, because they think they are cheaper and ending up in an unlicensed vehicle? Out of curiosity how many women do you know well enough to know how they think?

You mean as valid as any other driver who treats the trade as her third/fourth source of income?

But does the job because she can work when she wants and then accuses full-time drivers of 'cherry picking' their hours because they work when they want to facilitate things like, um, feeding their families?

Not too valid at all in my book, but then I suppose I look at the substance rather than the avatar :D

Valid point DB, but, my opinions regarding cherry picking were formed whilst working full time in the trade and were not regarding hours but the fares they took. Most of my opinions are formed from past experience

Jasbar your postings concerning Toots PROVES you see females as un-superior to you, i know Toots Name and it's Female, i also think Toots Avatar shows an independant and comfortable minded lady who likes to take on the men of her trade when debating the issue of our trade, Toots adds to the many debates and offers well thought opinions, You don't, you only ever harp on about the same thing any other input is insults, Toots offers this forum much more than you so as ANN would say 8)









You are the weakest link now feck off with your belief you are superior :wink:

So it wasn't really you who said:

"Anyway WBC now have the issues of over ranking at night outside the clubs and pubs of the Wirral. Over ranking in daytime at the shopping areas. With few or very taxis available Sun, Mon, Tues or Wed evening and night cos it just isn't worth the effort to come out. They've bred a trade of cherry pickers who will work daytime Mon to Wednesday and day and night on a Thursday to Saturday where drivers work excessively long hours."

And you still haven't squared the contradiction between your claim that the public can't get a taxi on Sun/Mon/Tues/Wed while the drivers are coming out at other times to do jack. :lol:
