ill give you an example of how ignorant the trade reps are up here.
when i went to accept my plates at the council
also on the agenda was the adoption of final sud report from halcrow,the trade reps had objected to this report,and had hired a math professor from Napier university,and had cut down half the amazon rain forest to try and debunk the survey findings.
now I'm sure you can see the problem here(they obviously couldn't)
after hours of listening to this pash i was asked to comment.
to which i replied
"the council either adopt the survey of demand in which case they must grant the licenses.
or they don't adopt the survey findings, in which case they must grant the licenses"
now it may have just been me, but the look on the faces of the trade reps was a picture,because i'm sure they didn't realize until that second that they were actually perilously close to having opened the floodgates on dereg,if the report had not been adopted, and they were paying a fortune to do so.
telk about nearly blowing your own gaff up
luckily the council adopted the findings and the plates were granted.
all it needed was for a few councilors not to daes yer telt and it was all over
thats how desperately stupid these ppl are
