glad to hear it though I may add weve heard it b4 and we was glad to hear it then as well.

your mistake in the past is threatning legal action and not carrying it through whether it be me or the council.

had we have gone to court you would have lost but you would have held your respect as a man who does what he says.

Your new licensing officer obviously is one who will get things done he will realise that there is a cash pile in the licensing account you say does not exist (if it doesnt they cannot budget)

that means they know they can afford a survey in due course, one is not needed yet, as you say he knows he can suspend plate giving because there is no doubt there is no demand unmet.

Glad you have got there at last its a bloody relief I tried to get you there 2 years ago, but you took no notice.

you allowed his predecesor to get away with murder, and come out with crap like no ringfensing he baffled you with science.

I am relieved you have managed to lay the blame elsewhere to, it gives to a straight edge.


perhaps its a hell of a frustration hearing your new licensing offiicer comming out with what you have been told by me for 2 years, dont take it out on me, I know its hard to appologise.

name calling wont help either dear boy, just prepare for your new golden future, welcome to reality its been a bloody long path.

There is a differance between threatening legal action and informing someone of a law and their infringement of it.

You and your like confuse the two.

Our new LO will make improvements, thats for sure, but I believe the council had the LO change forced upon them due to a strong challenge on policy from the trade. Gateshead doesn't have a licensing account and legally it is not required to have one, it does however have to have a separate licensing budget and the contents of the budget need to be published. I asked you to quote the exact legal standpoint of your argument and all you informed me was that it wasn't in the Beano.

B. Lucky

I think you must be getting me mixed up with someone else, all you have done for the past few years is insult me and attempt to discredit my opinions.

B. Lucky

The previous LO certainly did not baffle me with science, she came out with crap excuses and arguments all of the time but our fight took an age to start as we had to prove that we were representative. It is only when we did, that the LO changed.

I haven't managed to lay the blame elsewhere Geoff, I've only managed to convince you that problems started before I became involved. I am as much to blame as anyone for voting the people in who represented us so badly.

B. Lucky

There are no simularities between what our new LO says and the abusive drivel that you come out with. True to parasite form you pop your head up after years of abuse and try to take the credit. I don't find it hard to appologise when I'm wrong mate, I'm sorry you feel its so difficult.

Name caling doesn't help, your right, so I don't understand why you feel the need to resort to it so often.

My arguments and opinions have never changed, so for you to welcme me to reality means that you have no concept of that place, I don't agree with much of what you say, we are in different places, I'm in the future your stuck in the past when it comes to debate between us.

B. Lucky

who me? come come all I want is to help taxidrivers improve thier lot, and there is so much that can be done.

but opinions like "Gateshead council opened quotas to take more money for the general rate fund" needed squashing for the rubbish it always was.

so did the "council policy is not to ringfence funds" slur.

what you describe Gateshead council of now doing was always open to it

and I say still you were hoodwinked, I said it then I say it now, if thats an insult you are very arrogant.

What improvements are those then Geoff, starting Taxibus schemes which are obviously being abused elsewhere when copied.

I think this whole argument is better concluded away from this forum, the members and guests must be getting sick, log on using one of your usernames and I'll send you my phone number and we'll sort this whole [edited by admin] personal thing our once and for all.

mck

debate is impossible where one wants to talk facts the other (you) changing all the time to desired policies that are unlawfull

I claim no credit for your los thinking
he just thinks now like the rest of the proffesion

but what you said about Gateshead council could not be true, then

how could you think that.

if what you describe is possible now it was then, and look through the stuff I said so.

where does it leave you now with managed growth? its not desirable or possible its just meaningless words

and the none transferable plates? cannot in law be done now or the past the law wont let it.

rub your wounds, just what magic is this licensing officer? I will tell you he knows the law and wishes to abide by it.

the rural transport Mick is against.

PAGE CANNOT BE FOUND.

Typical of the man.

Every one wants to see those in remote areas catered for but this is an eyecatching link from the same newspaper. Phone a bus, I wonder what the implications are for this service being subject to the 1976 act? Private hire in another guise perhaps.

The one thing I didn't see in the article was the cost.

Maybe this isn't one of those services that are subsidised to the tune of £50 a passenger, but I bet it isn't that far off.

THATS THE ONE JOHN, NOT ITS NOT PRIVATE HIRE ITS PUBLIC IT STOPS AT BUS STOPS.

incidentaly the reporters misunderstood the article so its factualy in correct.


this cannot be done by private hire and taxis need extra licensing of course.

Its called a "taxibus" by some on here, and operated by the same person that refers to it as such.
