No chance of my plates losing there value Ali, you see the Law has not been changed Ali, you lot think that if you keep quoting what is happening in England and Wales we will think it is also applicable up here.

Another driver, or ex one, that should read the Dublin court case.

When someone takes this issue to Europe, then it wont matter what the iffy folk on your council think. They will na have a say. :wink:



Yes it will matter what the folk on the council think Sussex, bless you Sussex in your ignorance you believe that Europe will help you out in your quest for a freebie, no chance.

The question of de-restriction raises some intresting points, but on a higher level there is something inherently wrong with a system where our lives can be changed without us having some kind of input, I do not believe that there is a strong desire for de-restriction in Edinburgh, but if there was a proper exchange of information and consultation we would be able to find out what the true picture really is.

I would like to know if we are covered by the new Information and consultation, Directive 2002/14/EC, we are involved in an "undertaking" after all.

This is one of the reasons why I think it would be prudent at this time to try and start some kind of proper association for the trade in Edinburgh, one that is only about Taxis, and the people who own them and drive them.

you will know who we represent soon enough sweet william! we are currently retraining the swamp so to speak
information is power! and ignorance of the facts will no longer be an excuse
when people are well informed with the facts then ill think youll find the will make thier own conclusions,and with people like you standing as an example to all we have nothing to lose and everything to gain
quite the opposite of you
we are poles apart you and me william
youre are a morally bankrupt individual whom i will have great pleasure in talking to after derestriction :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

In what way would your life be changed William? Would derestriction take away your cab and plate?

Well what do you think William? If you have read it you will know if the directive effetcs you or not. To be quite honest why you brought it up I'll never know.

If anyone wants a run down of the directive William mentioned, which incidently is meaningless to the Taxi trade in Edinburgh, it can be read here,

http://www.dti.gov.uk/er/consultation/proposal.htm

If you scroll down the page you can also download the full directive in all its glory.

No the market would be flooded with Taxis and free loaders.

So it is competition you fear? Has God given you the right to stop others from driving a cab? Your restriction hangs in the balance William, it is so fragile you can feel it.

I could indeed William but instead of you picking my brains why don't you have a go at picking your own? Seeing as how you brought the subject up for some unknown reason.

Or don't you have a clue?

To be honest Ali I was not going to bother replying to you again, your head is obviously a mess, now I have read some rubbish in my time but for you to liken taxi owners to slave drivers or something is a fantasy, btw Ali if the vast majority of people in the trade want to de-limit I dont have a problem with that, but do they? You and Skull both Mentioned that you are talking to drivers, how many Ali, it's a simple question.

Do you think I am interested in the childish rubbish you post in defence of the indefensible behaviour exhibited by a small group intent on bringing your imagined foes to their knees, grow up Ali, your obviously a product of some bygone age, a bitter twisted individual who does not realise how lucky he is.

No god has not given me any rights, anyway leave him out of it, this is business, but no i do not want to stop anyone driving a cab or owning one for that matter, but the fact remains JD nobody has to lift the limit on plates in Scotland, if we need more Taxis we shall have them, they have set up a group to moniter the situation in the interim.
