Depends on which type of meter....

Cygnus at last tarriff change....£26.00. Only saving grace is hopefully DCC receive objections and the Traffic Commissioner will decide !

£26.00 is a lot of money if you don't have it and I appreciate that, but, I would hardly say it was financial suicide and I shall repeat what I said earlier that drivers don't have to charge the increase, they could use this in advertisements and maybe benefit by getting a little more work than the others who do charge the increase. It's only a suggestion so if you please I kinda like my head on my shoulders :wink:

What I don't understand now is if the taxi trade is so easy to enter there why do you have PH at all :?

New hack needs to be WAV.
Don't think there's a knowledge test for PH either.
If I'm wrong, someone will tell me :lol:

So it's cheaper to be PH because you have to have a WAV to be a taxi but since when have you had to have a WAV?
