Do one you sap, you get off on my responses, you sat up waiting for me to come back from the pub, all you've done is light my touch paper to ensure ppl like yourself are seen for what you really are, you gob off at your council, time for real cabbies to stand up and tell it how it is.

BTW, if I lose I will simply sell up and claim benefit for the remainder of my working life, how does that sit in your throat government agitator?


You think yourself so smart, you ain't, I am, people listen to me, if I wanted to bring havoc I could, I'm like Hitler when I speak, but I don't unlike him murder people, time to step it up, show me what you got or keep stoom mate, I see you as a manic depressive who feels the world is against him because it doesn't dance his tune, you are the nark in the great train robbery, the one who bites his nose to spite his face.

In all honesty I think you need therapy, you are anti society in general, much like a benefit hoe who doesn't get their cheque on time so it's everyone elses fault, you think you are playing me, but the reality of it is you are encouraging me to form something that puts you back in line, it used to be an association, but now I'm thinking bigger, I can get 400k from the whole UK cabby population PA to fight off the likes of you, and while 'm doing it I won't have to drive myself, WIN WIN WIN.

You underestimate me, many folks come to me for advice, some just to ask how to get by, I am a Pied Piper, many have followed me, when I hung up my PH badge many followed me over, I have my critic's, but the one thing ppl know me for is fairness and honesty, even the LO's, can you claim that, because from what I read you are seen as a PITA by all, a scrounger looking for a free meal.

TRUTH HURTS MATE, AND I AM THE TRUTH!



Ph driver, Taxi driver, IT expert, part time computer hacker, Taxi driver advice bureau, the leader of a new taxi organisation (400K) and the Pied Piper, have I left anything out? You are certainly a multi talented individual. I'm actually surprised you have the time to take alcohol and drugs.

No one could claim you are delusional that's for sure. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Jasbar if it's that bad why are you still in the trade? Even if you get your wish of derestriction all those factors will be there with the exception that some of the PH drivers will become HC drivers so you'll still have the same competition and the same amount of customers. Being able to work whenever it suits you won't help either because everybody will be in the same boat


You never really understood the argument did you?

It's one thing to operate in a restricted market, when you can't respond to market conditions and are tied to paying a rental for times the work just aint there, and it's quite another to work in an unrestricted market when you can be on parade when the customers are there to pay you.

Get it now do you?

This trade has always been a weather based, people in a hurry, weekend job.

And that's when someone with their own vehicle needs to work. That's where the reward is. And that's what restriction denies.

Drivers working when the customers don't need to, and customers denioed the service when they need it.

It's madness. And wouldn';t be tolerated in any other market sector.

Get it now?

:roll:


Ffs I've always 'got it' I just don't agree with you, simples. At least now I know what you want is to earn the most money in least possible time i.e weekends. I could see you working all manner of hours at the busy weekend and not giving a care about customers in the week because you made you're money at the weekend.

There was a time when pubs where restricted with their opening hours. They gave the pubs etc all manner of hours they could be open and look at the mess that created and then they banned smoking in them ffs. They obviously didn't think of ALL the consequences when they did this and YOU don't either. All you care about is what you want and not what is best for everybody

Blame or Adapt its your choice!!! Those like Skull and Jasbar who spend there life blaming this and that for their demise are the ones living in the Dream world, those of us who adapt to the evolving market we work in are the ones who live in the real world, Jasbar has listed all the things he Blames and Skull agrees LoL. When I bought in to a circuit I was adapting to the changes in the market, income protection and all that. Skull and Taylor are in denial that in Edinburgh the market is what it is and will evolve year in year out, the 2 of them live in a funny OLD dream world with draconian opinions, sad but hilarious how they try to defend their stance. Toots is right and I've said it myself, same OLD tripe and I'm now thinking the best way to get at them is to ignore them, just as Doom say's, they are a waste of time, self confessed I may add. LOL

“Blame or adapt," writes a living anachronism. Denial, is a foundation of inequality, discrimination and exploitation and expecting it to support a lie. Your business illusion is built on the quicksand of ignorance, as is your trade's inability to adapt, which inevitably, will be its downfall. :-|

"I WANDERED LONELY AS A CLOUD"

I WANDERED lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay: 10
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed--and gazed--but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood, 20
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.

As George Kennedy said in Cliffhanger. Why don't you just go get yourself laid.

The problem with assholes is that you only ever get Sh*te out of them. You're the proof.

When ARE you going to grow up son.

I just don't go get myself laid cos I'm not some cheap chick an I ain't nobodys son either. It seems to me that you get personal whenever I say something with a grain of truth in it.
