Taxi Driver Online

Why don't you put your name to a post you obviously feels has greater signifigance than mine.

I was asked a question and I gave an answer, now come on here with evidence to dis-prove my statements and put your name to it, or shut the flip up.

Talking of numbers of drivers that went to the London rally.

A couple of lads who went, said that there was about 200 at the rally.

Yet the lad who was doing the T&G stewarding said it was a 1000.

I look forward to the front-page of Cab Trade News that's states that '20,000 drivers stop OFT'.

Simply the best taxi forum in the whole wide world. www.taxi-driver.co.uk

with the scottish govt statement today and the lack of an english one, could the whole thing now be getting further consideration due to the demo's?

bearing in mind how much in favour of the status quo the scots were, perhaps the english minds have been changed from status quo to delimitation.

I doubt the rally did anything, bar made a few people feel important.

I think that the Gov will do what they always wanted to, and it seems that we now have to wait for another week, to see if I'm right, or the others are wrong.

Hundreds of thousands of ppl marched against the war in Iraq, it made sod all difference.

Two hundred cabbies should do it

Try 400 Suspect the drivers that passed through might have been 1,000. YOu are 1 sad man aren't you, sad and bitter.

Well the 200 was mentioned as by your new found buddy on the London forum, so please take it up with him.

SM, numbers attending the London "rally" are no where near as important as the numbers attending the local ones. Money is particularly tight at the moment and if you couple at least one day off work with the expense of travelling to London you would find that, to the majority of H/C drivers travelling down there wasn't even an option.

The ammount of people attending our part of the day of action was a clear indication to our local council that the whole trade was united, we even had P/H drivers joining up with the H/C trade to complain about such local government policies.

You claim the local events made people feel full of importance, well I feel sorry for those people, for me, I found it very humbling.

Why are you telling me this?

Or are you scared of telling that to the busman?

As I said, I couldn't care less how many turned up.

It's just that two said 200, one has said 400, the steward said 1000, and no-doubt CTN will say thousands.

Thanks Andy7. Good point about the paragraph numbering - it was considered, but thought it might look a bit officious, if that's the right word.



Yes, if you tell us the name of your council it will be included in the next version

But despite what some say, there is plenty of evidence that de-limitation works well, after all most LAs and the numerically largest single area in the country are unrestricted.

But your area does provide evidence on a further related point, namely that a large PH sector isn't required to service pre-booked work. Areas like your own were alluded to on page 11 of the document in para (whatever!!):

"But the scenario of negligible PHV provision in Dundee is certainly demonstrated in many smaller towns with no disincentive to entering the taxi sector, but larger urban areas without quantity or quality barriers to entering the taxi trade are rare."

I was going to go to the London rally, but, as I had not done the knowledge, I couldn't find my way around London in order to join in.

And Guest TDO, you know what Town I refer to. You once told me all about it on another site.

PS. Anyone know who the best Insurance broker is, who actually knows something about the cab trade, and holds the full range of agencies?

(The link is bizarre, but it is there nonetheless).

I wonder if the Govt will stoop to the 'personal failing' argument if they knock back de-restriction later today.
