Or is someone trying to scare-monger?

I think you will find the recommendation is for the testing period to last 6 weeks rather than 2 years. The Knowledge will still take 2+ years to learn.

For one, like me, considering the move to Green Badge it looks like a good idea.

So someone is scare-mongering then.

What the LTDA telling fibs? Whatever next?

But the six week KOL does have it's plus points. Maybe some of the bike people could join up with Mr GBC.

I would'nt get too hopeful Mr LN.

We all seem to be accepting this as passed legislation.

Nothing could be further from the truth, I spoke with Steve Mac yesterday, the rumblings from the City Hall boffins is that they don't think to much of Mr UKIP's report, as the whole idea of it was to review the PCO and its day to day running, not to concentrate on the Knowledge system itself, which has served london well since Oliver Cromwell introduced a licensing system.

By all means get yourself on the Knowledge though, you won't regret it in the end.

Your driver representatives could never find themselves in that position though Ollie, quite simply you don't have a voice.

So lie down, shut up, and do whatever city hall tells you to do.

Bend over whilst your at it, and invite them to shaft you even more.

Is that so?

Then why did they respond to the PCO's consultation, yet the LTDA and a few others just sat back and got ignored.

Maybe they saw the survey for what it was, a waste of time and money employing a man who can't make up his mind what political party he wants to belong to this month.

I think when you say 'they' with regard to the LPHCA's input, I think you mean 'him', and having read the report on 'his' website, please enlighten me as to what exactly is the point he is trying to get across?

Perhaps I need a thesaurus and ready reckoner to work it out?

Don't you find it in the least suspicious that all the partys consulted benefit financialy from more drivers?

You should bear in mind they may also make it easier for more people to become LPH drivers, which of course will then knock a hole in your takings as well, I wonder if you would become an LTDA suporter then?

For a minute I thought you might stay for a chat there Ollie, but no, you've signed off.

Just think though, with another 15'000 drivers on the road Ollie, neither of us will have any time to exchange views on TDO.

Too busy with all this extra ComCab and DAC work to hang araound.

Not if I, and another 5000 drivers are suddenly forced to go on a 'radio' company.

Back to the car park of Sainsburys in Whitechapel you go.

Could they make it any easier other than going back to what it was before

nothing wrong with having both on the same firm.
worked with taxis when i was a ph.
now work with ph now im a taxi.
one big happy family down here.

Most of ours probably do too?

Personaly I feel I don't need a circuit, with nights being a lot busier than days.

Although it is tempting when i'm heading North at 3AM, and yet another Radio Taxi has passed me loaded up with punters near Stevenage.

I suppose them sort of jobs would cover you radio fees, but don't they get the hump if you only do a few account jobs a day?
