I'm interested in a number of issues, and I suspect the union I pay my dues to will be present.

Let's hope those with big fat pathetic egos can deal with the issues at hand, and not spend valuable time fannying around on non issues.

And I think anyone banging on about training should declare an interest as to how much they have personally made in the past, and how much they plan to earn in the future, out of training drivers. :roll: :roll:

6.. Totally toothless.. and people get paid money for putting this rubbish together.
7. Equality Bill.... that discriminates against the disabled.... the private hire exempt
8. A number of government departments working together to justify their existence.

Seems they do here.... as they think they will earn more on a Hackney plate, but find out different when they get one.... some even go back to PH as the cost of keeping a wav gets too much so sell out to some other mug from PH.... :roll: :-|

Different where you are?....

I'm saying wav Hackneys can only buy wav's meaning we cannot buy a saloon..... savvy? :roll:

now considering that this is a Equality Act, it would seem that what it is actually doing is creating a unfair advantage regarding the prices that can be charged between the hackney and private hire trade.... it is certainly discriminating against the disabled by placing the private hire outside of this Act..... I wonder how much this cost to achieve... :oops:
