Taxi Driver Online

I am and changing rules mid stream and outing drivers who may have invested heavily, aint one of them you can twist dance and jog Mick you are talking twaddle.

tests are there to fail people, if they were not they wouldnt be there!

you are in favour only to get people out Mick.

then you can make bucks, ok do it fairly.

Good God

Oh I see, very clever Geoff.

Have you been drinking again, or did you have meat for your supper.

B. Lucky

you have a duty to protect the interests of members, this proffessional bit is [edited by admin], lets not go to opinions but fact, law

a man in a job when new tests are introduced is entitled to grandfather rights to protect him from modgils like you who would strip them of everything.

are you entitled to an opinion?

well if it displays your utter contempt to fair play go ahead.

Lets just get something together.

Should new applicants have to pass a series of tests to assess their knowledge of the requirements to drive for hire?

Should existing licensee's have to pass any further tests along the same lines?

Should these tests apply to P/H drivers in areas where the councils have delimited?

Should these tests apply to P/H drivers in areas where the councils haven't delimited?

Something more than YES/NO would be helpful here as I think there are arguments for and against all of the above posts.

And thats not an invitation to have a go at me Geoff, in between swigs of ale.

B. Lucky

its the impression you give especialy when you are rhiles you say contempable things about people in your offices.

I can just see someone who gets stuck and runs.

3 offices is a hell of a lot, loyalty is missing somewhere, and I see that comming from your employers.

ie involantary left can see you mick so successfull and so caring about drivers, just leaving?

1 yes.
2 do its unlawfull, there is a difference between renewal and new applications.

3. in law no in my opinion yes.
4 delimitation has nothing to do with private hire
5 I am a tee totaler

Mick
I am a vegitairian but allow myself gravy.

Not really like Geoff.

One of the offices I ran for 5 years, built it up from 25 to 47 cars, all drivers making money and all happy. The owner sold the business and the new guy wanted to run it himself and save my wages. He has since sold the office to the drivers who hung around after I left, its now a 15 car office. The second I agreed to manage for 12 months, following the merger of two offices, to assist with transition. I instigated various working systems and they are still in place now and the office is one of the biggest in the area. The third was for a bloke that left the first office I managed, who asked me to help set up his new office, I agreed, again for the first 12 months. His office is now doing very well indeed, thank you very much.

Sometimes I worry about you Geoff, I really do.

B. Lucky

I think its time you gave that up then Geoff

B. Lucky

yes I worry too
this is the only trade I have been in where I could trust nobody

its a weird trade.

There are still some people you can trust in this trade Geoff.

Just not many.

Sadly, society measures success not by how honest and happy a person is, but by how much money and power they have. And I'm afraid, the two aspects are not mutually compatible.

When drug dealers are admired and respected because they have big houses and fast cars and power and money, yet people with detailed knowledge of specific interests are insulted, belittled and decried as "Anoraks" or "nurds" what hope is there for the society in which we live.

Yes.
No, apart from those that reach a certain amount of penalty points.
Only new drivers, and the above.
