now we shall no doubt see the enforcement officers out in force around the stations, pity they couldn't get off their backsides to inspect a few more PH chaps!!! Guess they wouldn't want to upset the delicate little souls

The shed rental society will be over the moon, that's even less maintenance they'll have to carry out on their heaps of sheeite that purport to be licensed London Taxi's. |

I pulled up a police van last night and asked him why he had just driven passed a line of PHV's illegally parked and ranking in the middle of Regent Street outside the Cafe royal. He said " F**k off or I'll nick you for using your horn whilst stationary" he then put up his window and shot off. But still I think Boris has come up trumps for us, the added expense was unnecessary. |

Of course he did Mr A, of course he did. Did he point a gun at you and threaten to shoot you as well, and then planted a secret transmitter to your cab so the Secret Service know exactly where you are at all times. Did you know the Secret Service are in collaboration with the Minicab trade who run all the traffic warden services in London nowadays? Apparently the Secret service is making a bid to takeover the PCO and Bob Oddies involved as well! Apparently Bob Oddie now runs Addison Lee as he doesn’t answer e-Mails and the LTDA are setting up the first Minicab rank at a mainline station!

Yes there maybe some iffy PH, but why can't they have the special supa dupa on the road checks that seem to be happening to the cab trade. That said I didn't ever believe I would see the day where London PH are checked to a higher level than the black cab trade. |

Strange thing though, the PCO/TFL did not release this post until two days after it was signed, in fact 38/08 was released six hours before 37/08. Probably doesn't mean anything, could have been waiting for a last minuet challenge. They made it sound as if it was there idea all along, instead of Boris. Just shows how underhanded and slippery they really are. I see the www.theandersonshelter.blogspot.com site beat the LTDA web site again with this announcement, perhaps they were all on holiday. |
