I think that has to be welcomed by both HC and PH.

If 10,000 pieces of s*** are no longer in this trade, and 2,500 well maintained vehicles have joined then that's a cause for celebration. \:D/

But surely the licensing of mini cabs has been a success, if only for getting rid of the 10,000 iffy mushes. =D>


I've never maintained every Minicab or minicab driver are bad.

I'm well aware there are many decent, conviction free, english speaking, drivers in the London Minicab trade.

But, as you will have read in my latest post, (news) many of them whilst having a licensed premises are still using clapped out uninsured vehicles, being driven by, i would hazard a guess, unlicensed drivers. :-|

And, whilst up here on the box, if the Minicab trade is so rewarding and work is plentiful, why did I witness at least 30 - 40 cars with TFL License discs on them, openly touting around the west end tonight?

Its only Wednesday! :roll:

We don't have to highlight your second class drivers, I think they make a rod for their own back and the press report it.

Exactly.

I'm not sure what this has to do with the above, but it raises the question why is someone so stupid to accept a lift, on her own, from two blokes in a car? ](*,)

Makes you wonder why local authorities would rather see an increase in the Ph fleet while keeping a cap on taxi numbers?


Must be because they haven't reached their rape quota yet.


Same old s&*t stirring from greenbadgebigot - read it again - it says illegal mini-cab driver.



Or one of your (cough) legitimate colleagues touting? Thats also Illegal, but it seems most of your side does'nt grasp that too well? :-|
