We've known for years that you live in your own world, so don't blame NASA, they've got enough problems without you!!



Now this 50K plate "value" RCF what seems to be the problem, I thought you would be happy:?

:wink:

Eh, pardon me, but you're the one with the problem about 50k plate values - I don't see or hear anyone else going on about them.
As for me, It doesn't matter at all what they are worth - I take each day (and event) as it comes.

I bet you even think you're funny.

Keep thinking it. Remember to guffaw with hilarious laughter as they're tightening the straps.

I reckon you'd look very fetching in white. And I can't wait till you're "fetched".

46k in total so that would be around 16k for the "03" TX2 leaving £30k for the plate. So WTF are you shouting about? Bawheid!


Nothing like RCF to drag debate down again. Wheeling him in just about shows how worried you guys are getting.

What amazes me is why you even bother.

Rather than bleat about plate prices, whether they are £50K or not, why don't you concern yourself with what is really important, i.e. the quality of the quality controls which will be imperative on de-restriction?

Only the servile can cast off their own chains.


Send in the guys with white coats I'm about to agree with one of little jimmy's points. :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

It's not the plate values that are important - it IS the quality of the quality controls that is the most important. But if you consider this so important why do you and your criminal puppet master both rant on about plate values. :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

It's the coucil's enforcement that we should all be attacking not the plate values. De-regulation without all of the proper enforcement back-up in place in advance would be suicidal to us all and manna from heaven for the PHC. The council will never take you seriously Jim, especially after your laughable "fascist" letter to Peter Lang. I'm nae fan of PL either but writing sh!t like your last letter just re-inforces the fact that you cannot be taken seriously by anyone, least of all those currently with the power, and questions again should be asked about your mental state. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

You cannot justify that the selling of your plates at an inflated price is any different from those selling theirs now.
You where quite happy to take those who bought your plates money, but now you want to stop them from doing the same thing. HYPOCRITE

Also I do know what I am fighting for. I am fighting to keep my standard of earnings to stay as they are and not be dilluted by an increase in plates.
I want to see a substantial decrease in ph before any plates come on.(their numbers dropping already) And more importantly, better control over the way this trade is run.

I never tried to justify anything.

If anyone can get 50K good on them it just won't be me paying it. I knew what I was selling and that's why I would only take one for nothing and maybe not even that. Anyone paying 50K needs their head examined especially in todays market.

I like this part Ross the "Standard of earnings" has been dropping for the last 5 years and that's without an increase in plates.

Too little too late:lol:

I can think of 50,000 reasons why you have no choice in the matter Ross.
:wink:

It wasnt actually an insult if you read the post before that, I suppose you could call it a back handed compliment.

You truly are a horrible cruel piece of lowlife. Let's hope you don't get stuck down whilst in lighting a candle, nor mugged of your takings as you pay them in about midnight on a Wednesday night at the Nationwide on the corner of Fredrick and George Streets :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

tell me ross does a PH driver have any less right to make a living like you should we all pack up and let you have a free run?? ask the public why they use PH might it be to do with the fact they like the service they get from the PH trade?????.
some with in you own trade kill your market by the way they act and thats fact(so you EX passangers tell me). most taxi drivers are ok at least the ones i have talked to but i have come across a few who are just twits(but then again we have a few as well).
the best advert for PH is when you pull in to a service station and the place is full of taxis when people are looking for them

as for the number of PH dropping i think you will find that this has dropped by a small amount and is prob due to the fact that these drivers now drive black cabs or have left the trade and PH numbers have gone up bye around 500 in the last 5years so if we are making no money why has it not dropped by a bigger amount then???????

the PH trade is here to stay no matter what happens to the taxi trade over the next few years and after all it is a FREE MARKET is it not
:wink: :wink:
