@ Gus, you live in Scotland about 500 miles away from the Chi area what could you possibly know about the local conditions there or the geography of the place, you came in with yer two big feet talking about something you know nothing about again didn't you,
No more than you know of the Scottish trade. It doesn't stop you sticking your size 9's in here though, does it?
Unlike you, I offered no opinion on the local conditions, only geographical fact.
Fact which you overlooked while accusing another member of doing what you were in fact doing yourself.
those links show Chi being seen in the same light as Glasgow being the whole of Scotland, nobody hails a cab nor is there a rank in 30 miles of dual carraigeway woodland
Glasgow doesn't license for the whole of Scotland. Your analagy is flawed.
Chichester licences a huge area, not just the one horse town you tried to imply, presumably to suit your case.
I would imagine in such a rural area, running a hack that complies with PCO requirements just isn't viable. I would have to wonder why their vehicle choice is so restricted?
Fact remains, these 57 cabs can pick up anywhere in the district. They choose not to, albeit for sound financial reasons.
PH increases due to Baron's, if you restricted them by issue numbers i.e one man one plate then PH fleets will decrease to earnable driver levels, there is no management in PH and to sum it up for you PH is like the guy who knocked the door for some sugar and then a week later emptied your larder in my eyes, PH is where the greed lies and immigrants are being used to fuel the number increase by abusive baron's, I don't have a problem with immigrants but I do have a problem when they are encouraged to come here to plug gaps a British person can no longer financially afford to take.
PH increases because the Hack trade is restricted and/or the PH have lower entry requirements.
Restrict the hack trade and you create hack barons. A few large ones or a multitude of small ones. What makes them any better than PH barons?
Both are blood sucking scum who live of the backs of working blokes.
BTW, one man one plate would work just as well, if not better, if applied to the hack trade as well.
Especially if the licence holder had to drive it himself or properly employ a driver. Why not go that direction as well?
No more bogus self employment and no more exploitation of drivers.
The trade is basically fecked because folks like you want to carpetbag on it, what you are too stupid to see is you think you are the only one who will apply,
Get this through your thick skull.
I won't be applying - I HAVE MY PLATE and I've had it for years.
It has no value and that's just fine by me. I didn't get it so I could flog it on to some other shmuck when I'm finished with it.
BTW, you can only carpetbag a restricted trade. Nobody will pay for something that's freely available from the council.
working on your idea's a full up nightclub should allow more than it's capacity in if more than it's capacity is stood outside and they should all be allowed in for free
Working on your analagy, everyone should stand outside until they can buy a ticket from someone on their way out.
In reality, they all p*ss off to the pub next door or the all night cafe across the street.
Eventually, they just get fed up standing in the cold and someone else opens another club.
fact is you are a tight little benefit minded scrounger who thinks everyone else owes you instead of getting off your backside and making something of yourself,
Now that is rich coming from someone who's ideas only work when propped up by tax credits and housing benefit.
I claim no benefits and I pay tax.
Going by what you keep harping on about, I made more in 8 hours last night than you make in a week. Nobody owes me jack sh*t.
Now you get off your arse, stop crying in your beer and compete, instead of looking for the council and the state to protect and fund you.
What makes you think they owe you anything?
I want a 7 series BMW to float around in but I can't afford to run one, nobody is telling BMW they must supply me one because I want one though are they, I'll bet you are the sort who if he could license a saloon hack you'd pick a 150k mile Vx Astra rather than buying say a 2 year old Skoda Superb so your customers would ride in comfort wouldn't you, just a cheap schemer in my eyes, that is how I see you mate.
If you stayed off the drink, you would probably have the BMW by now.
As for how you see me, I couldn't give a toss.
Get those benefit forms in on time Doom, or they will withold your beer money.
Caveat Emptor....????? oh please, it's a job not a cheap HiFi from Currys.
It's a word of warning for those in Scotland who would buy something which Scottish law says is public property and not for sale.
Even your cheap Curry's HiFi comes with a 12 month guarantee.
I agree it's just a job. Strange how people are expected in the 21st century to buy or hire a job.
