Post subject:  SKULL - TAXI DRIVER LICENCE RENEWAL REMINDER

A sneak preview


TO:



Head of Legal and Administrative Services - Alastair MacLean



Dear Sir/Madam,


CIVIC GOVERNMENT (SCOTLAND) ACT 1982
TAXI DRIVER LICENCE
RENEWAL REMINDER


May I thank you for the opportunity of renewing my Taxi driver's licence. However, I feel I must decline your most generous offer. To me at least, the prospect of working under the control of Trampton City Council is totally inconceivable. In fact, I would rather be dangled by my testicles over a pool of man eating piranhas, then seen to be humbling myself in some vain attempt to renew my licence.

Collectively, the Council Regulatory Committee (RC) and Cab Inspector Frank Smith of Lothian & Borders Police have shown by their actions to have no regard whatsoever for the rights of the individual. In fact, given the opportunity, would not hesitate to abuse their privileged positions, in an attempt to beat people down. Which is proven to be somewhat typical of how Trampton Council conducts itself when dealing with members of the public who question their authority.

With regard to myself, I think you were under the misapprehension I cared about driving taxis for a living and the subsequent suspension of my taxi licence. Unfortunately, I had already resigned myself to leave the taxi trade either by my own volition or at your behest as a consequence of standing up for my rights against serial abuses. As it turns out it appears to be a combination of the two.

Prior to my licence being suspended, I refused to allow myself to be judged by such a bunch of scurrilous and contemptible individuals. And now upon renewal of my licence the situation remains the same, the mere thought of coming before councillors to plead for my licence makes me feel sick to pit of my stomach. I could not entertain doing something so undignified.

Although, I am more than happy to appear before the RC, at a public meeting. Should any of you develop a backbone and wish to discuss my grievances of your conduct with a view of protecting the rights of the individual in the future.

I am sure by now you have some indication of what you can do with my plastic taxi driver identification badge, but in case you are left in any doubt. Think of it as a four cornered suppository, and stick it up your arse.





Yours faithfully




Garry Thomson

And of course you being a legend in your own mind think your response is ... Meaningful? Like most things about you it's a joke. One the council employee reading it will probably have a good laugh at it and show it to his mates for a laugh too.

Wise up wee bigman

Jim advised me to go to the meeting, not that it would have made any difference. Believe it or not I had already decided not to renew my badge months before the alleged incident. I had told drivers and owners on the Haymarket Rank. I wouldn't be renewing my licence at the end of August. I'd simply had enough.

And you can ask anyone who knows me, there was absolutely no prospect of me standing before that shower of [edited by admin] and spilling my guts for my licence.

For me, it was time to move on. It gave my career as a taxi driver colourful end though, don't you think? :wink:

Unfortunately, swannee, I just could not accept what you do to remain a taxi driver. You were obviously born a coward and without any dignity to speak of.

Your response to my letter is very gratifying.

That's exactly what I was hoping for. I believe I've got my point across. :wink: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

That's harsh even tho it may be considered understandable. Opinions and views don't have to have any weight behind because they are just opinions and views

Listen, [edited by admin] for brains. My opinion carries more weight than yours ever will. The likes of you should consider yourselves lucky to be graced with my opinion at all. You are simply something I scrape off the bottom of my shoe.
