Taxi Driver Online

With the general downturn in the economy and in particular, events in the City in the past weeks leading to tens of thousand of job loses,does anyone know how many driver licenses the PCO intend to issue for 2008?

During the 1988/93 slump,1992 was the worst year and if my memory serves me well the PCO issued 750 licenses with about 100 retiring or loosing their licences.

Unlike many licensing authorities in the UK,London does not control licence numbers.
This could be a double wammy for many drivers.

I would have thought the London 'knowledge' would have been a strong limiter on it's own.

''I would have thought the London 'knowledge' would have been a strong limiter on it's own.''

It is during times of full employment,however our beloved past mayor,the glorious Livingstone instigated many schemes to get wimmin and ethnics subsidised by taxpayers, into the trade (known as Ken's Kabbies).

I don't care what your sex or ethnicity is,but I am worried about creating taxi drivers for work that is no longer not there.

I was driving a Taxi during the last slump, there's absolutely no comparison with the current slowdown.

Sure it's a bit quieter than last year, but last time around it was as dead as a dodo.
Take last night, I never really stopped bar the usual lull around 9.30, the bars were all full, the restaurants were all busy, it's mainly another media generated sensationalist recession.

This guff and scaremongering about houses going down 10% and how the worlds going to end . . . . FFS they’ve gone up about 250% over the last decade . . of course they’re going to fall back.

grandad says ''Isn't that a double negative ''

To quote Vicky Pollard,''Yes but no....''

I never knew what a dodo was until now;

Dodo

I suppose it's because they are extinct that we use the phrase, "Dead as a Dodo".
