Nice.

Fot those who are wondering what the picture is all about it's Sussex retorting that I had been to the pub last night, gotta support the publican he's also an endangered species, still once there are no pubs and the boring are happy we can all sit infront of a PC every night eh.

Ah I see now. That one went right over my head.

Grandad,

Because a plate premium does not represent the worth of a business, hence Doom's coyness about saying that people profit(eer) from their purchase and sale.

But nobody is forcing you to purchase ,theres no set price is there ? If you bought any buisness and someone offered you more than what you paid youd say no would you ? Thought not...

Yeah, c'mon Mark...erm I mean Dusty , whatcha say to that?

I'm not saying they don't increase, I'm saying people don't buy for a plate profit, they buy to work in a market that has some controls left to stop all and sundry setting up and making the job untennable.

Working it your way I should be entitled to buy your house for a lot less than it's worth because it's only fair you sell it to me for what it was worth 30 years ago, and you shouldn't be allowed to sell it anyway because in life nobody ever really owns anything, you accumalate from birth and have to return it on your death.

If you worked it on how businesses are valued most plates should be up near £100,000, so if you can get a little cottage industry for say £10.000 isn't that a bargain really?

So Blackpool says:

If you bought any buisness and someone offered you more than what you paid youd say no would you ? Thought not...

Doom says:

I'm saying people don't buy for a plate profit

Seems to me you're arguing against each other here rather than against me.

Im not playing against anyone, im saying why would i not want my buisness to go up in value ?

I'm not disputing that, what I'm saying is that Doom is trying to say that you're not bothered about the plate value when you self-evidently are.

Its irrelevant, would i like it to be worth more than i paid ? Obviously yes, but if it wasnt its no big deal as its there for earning my living.

If you increase your goodwill then your business value will go up, and good luck to you.

But your current business value is solely down to a scarcity value. And there is a good chance that might disappear in a few years.

Of course in areas with no restrictions the value of business is based on what you have done to increase it, which surely is a much more truer way to assess such things.

However you are right, there is nothing wrong with wanting your business to increase in value. Just take into consideration it might go the other way.

Whats the real issue with plate values then ?Im more interested in not having a over supply i dont see any good role models for de ristriction,the only people who seem to worry about the values are maybe a little green when it works leave it the fucc alone ...

Well I'm not in the slightest bit green, but isn't the London knowledge a better way to keep the riff raff out rather than the Blackpool plate premium?

What he really means is the current system is keeping him out unless he coughs up, as the plate value in Brighton is a substantial one he doesn't want to go that way, as he was issued a free one and sold it again it says it all regarding MR Sussex motives.
