Have CRT been lying to their members about job total figures? Have resignations been made because of this?

Remember that the council has accepted job total and response time figures from the two main companies in Edinburgh as proof of no demand.

Such figures being a fabrication would be akin to the companies perpetrating a fraud. And fraud is a criminal offence.

And that would place those responsible directly in the frame.

Furthermore, evidence suggested by licence applications as proof of increasing demand, at a time when the council itself was telling us that the city economy was "burgeoning" was ignored. While the evidence also suggests that the companies may have been fabricating figures with the council making no attempt to audit or verify the veracity of the information provided.

This is not the action of a council seeking the truth, rather one which merely accepted the expedience of their policy being fulfilled. I submit this goes beyond normal council procedures and into the realms of criminal activity.

Why don't you phone CRT and ask them Jim

Because you sure as hell won't get the answer on a public internet forum where nobody has the answer that your looking for!


Or is this another one of your "mouth open, belly rumble" shouting from the treetops where virtually no on except your lap dogs and let's get this straight. NO ONE pays the slightest bit of interest to the [edited by admin] spewing out your mouth/keyboard


I expect the usual reply of the same regurgitated schpeel of plates owner by council, sheep, pretend businessmen & similar unoriginal put downs at your earliest convenience

So I take it, you believe you actually own the plate, and you are, in fact, a businessman?

You've just got too much time on your hands!

I can smell another of your useless ill-informed and lying campaigns coming on.

Why not tell us about something you DO like? or is there no such thing? the whole world is corrupt - except you, of course.(inyour dreams)

After all these years Garry and learning to read too, you still can't understand that it is the physical plate that "belongs to City of Edinburgh Council." It is only the tangible device that indicates the vehicle is licensed for use as a taxi. The businessmen that you so despise operate their businesses (successfully, unlike you) using these vehicles which are licensed by the council.

So, just as a public house licensee, a bookmakers licensee and a street traders licencee operate their businesses under a licence, so does a taxi operator licensee his.

It may be difficult for you to grasp but try to look at it objectively, without your usual blinkers on and you might just realise that, despite the recession making things tight for us all, these businesses are still going, and it is you who is struggling.

Here comes another tax cut for the uber rich, less spending on vital services and much reminding that were all in it together chaps, what!

Oh and a fortune blowing on nuclear subs.........

"Oh and Swannee, I wouldn't drive a taxi again supposing my life depended on it. The thought of working alongside guys like you makes me, want to throw-up."

Yet the irony is you spend numerous hours a week browsing taxi forums & commenting on taxi issues

If the thought of the taxi trade upsets you so much why do you keep hanging onto it?

What I do like, relish even is the fact that you are a complete plank. You've never contributed anything worthwhile to any debate about the trade. You're just another serf happy to touch forelocks to your masters. I relish your pain, because if you weren't rattled you wouldn't even be on this forum.

And why would I want to fone Murray's company anyway. Do you honestly think the scumbag would tell the truth?



Now go on Swannee, gives us more of your pain, because we're pashing ourselves
