Aye that was what i thought scotty.

The story in the courier about him being liked to a takeover of Dundee said that he was the owner of 505050 but even if he was just a sleeping partner then he would he have his plates with 203020.

Funny business.

By the way, has he ever had a badge :lol:

dave coutts is still a director of 505050 but he is in dispute with them,awaiting a court case,yes he does have a dundee drivers badge also an edinburgh ph badge.
DUNDEE CITY TAXIS is the name of the new company i believe and i think that they will make a go of it, if the rumour is true.heard that almost all the op`s from 505050 are now going to leave to go with them as the op`s at 505050 are not happy bunnies,anyone hear anything about this?

Happy new year Mr villager - the first post of 2004.

And happy new year to everyone else, even Wharfy, :D but normal hostilities will resume soon :?

By the way Mr villager, did you get the private message I sent you a couple of weeks ago? It's still in my outbox, which means that it hasn't been read (I think).

Click on the new messages option near the top of the screen and you'll get to it.

Dusty

I never work in the snow, far to dangerous.

But to all those that did, well done, I just hope customers remember who took them home when no-one else wanted too.

this is turning out to be a unfunny situation i was sitting on dundee,s main rank with a vectra in front of me and a euro7 in front of him, a customer on his own walked past the euro7 and got in the vectra i imediatly felt sorry for him but a couple of mins later a woman on her own also walked past him and entered my vehicle i pointed out that i was not first in line
so she closed my door and entered the vehicle behind mine this left me in a position as to what happens next i cant afford to knock back fares and with my last job having been some time ago i would if faced have to pick the next customer up,luckily a couple of men entered the euro7 before i got a fare but situations are going to arise when saloons are going to have to pick up customers even if its there mate in the vehicle in front,
ive not read of this situation in any other towns probably because all the hacks in other towns are the same not a mixture,its a pity the survey didn,t pick up on this as all the ops in the past have also had this happen
and most binned their vehicle and went back to saloons...
