Well if no-one else wants to take the credit for a policy of equality amongst all drivers, then put it down to me. :D

I didn't take you for a communist!! I prefer the capitalist idea myself, because we are not all equal. I studied and spent time and money to learn "the knowledge" and drive a taxi. How much effort, time and money did you put in before driving a phc?

now all they say is how's the motor running lol
i know it was mostly due to wanting to prove these ****wits wrong that spurred me on for the last 2 1/2 years
that and a strong belief in whats right and wrong.
thats why i kept going,thats who i blame for dereg,when it comes,and its coming make no mistakes.


Yes, there is a certain satisfaction in shafting everyone concerned. The plate almost pales into insignificance, but knowing you were right means everything.


How the big mouth ar*e licking servile scum of the Edinburgh Taxi Trade have fallen.

And they are going to fall a lot harder in the coming months.

People to get say on taxi numbers

The Oxford Timeslo

PEOPLE are to be consulted on the controversial issue of taxi licence numbers in Oxford.

Following a review, the issue of taxi licence numbers is to be put out to public consultation. The main issue to be decided is whether or not Hackney carriage licences for black cabs should continue to be restricted. De-restriction would allow people to drive their own taxi, rather than rent one from a licence holder.
___ :
The majority of cabbies in Oxford are opposed to a change, with some regarding a licence plate as their pension fund.

Green city councillor Craig Simmons said: "What we need is a more wide-ranging review that looks at why more of the existing cabs are not out and about at night. "For example, we need to see what can be done to make cab driving at night safer."

The taxi licensing policy was due to be discussed this month, but the matter has been deferred until May or June.

De-restriction is being considered after it was revealed that some Hackney cab licence holders were earning more than £50,000 by selling their plates on.
