Interesting piece about speeding cabbies in Thursday's Oldham Chronicle.

All the driver's have something in common, can you spot it??

So are you alluding that all drivers in Oldham must be ethnic minority, that only the ethnic minority drivers speed, or only the ethnic minority drivers get caught out because the haven't fitted a 'Road Angel' yet? :?

It would appear factual, that ALL the drivers named are from an asian background.

Unless the Oldham Chronicle is fibbing.

Perhaps their driving skills are crap?

it tells us they must be communicating with each other, so could therfore be considered a group, and if we all organised ourselves properly perhaps we could put the "group of us" to much more productive communications, together we are powerfull!!!

Couldn't agree more, but the sad reality of the situation is that our unions/assocaition are led by fools trying to feather their own nests, and we let them get away with it. :sad:

Right they should now all appeal, therefor they will still be able to work until the appeal is herd, it will be a nightmare for the council

good idea, they should appeal, although they are organised as a group, they seem to have modelled their organizational skills on Lemmings, I was thinking that as a group(drivers) we should also become organised, but perhaps with more thought and less blind faith.
