After re-reading the thread and reflecting further, report him, anonymously if possible.



That would make him a coward as well as a grass

So if a minicab pulls onto a rank and grabs an un-booked punter right in front of your eyes, you will do nothing about it?

So whas have "all the rest" being doing about it in the past?

Seems a bit sus.

But perhaps the culprit is Bart, so they're keeping their heads down and letting you do the dirty work :lol:

Report him, "Mr Motivator," you will need evidence, though.

Hi all

Wow didnt realise you all cared so much, I have also found out this guy is operating a council contract without the relevant badges.

Thanks for all the advice.

seems like he is a bit of a loose cannon.

I will think about it but why should he get away with it when I and all the rest of us do the right thing.


Report him.

How on earth did he get a council contract without the relevant badges?
You must phone your local council right away. Of course you need to make sure you have the evidence to back up these apparently unfounded allegations. don't worry about being called a grass. You have nothing to fear from telling the truth. You are telling the truth, aren't you? Or do you have unresolved issues with "Loose Cannon" "Mr Motivator"?

Well "Mr Motivator" seems to have dissapeared as quickly as he appeared.

Two posts, complaining about another driver (or drivers?) overloading.

Did he complain to his LO?

Did they do anything about it?

I would be the last person on hear to suggest that Mr Motivator is holding a grudge against someone by making these allegations up, but the LO will no doubt have told him that his word alone is not enough to take action against "Loose Cannon"

The allegation of operating a council contract without the correct badges is baffling me though. If "Loose Cannon" is doing so, how the heck does he get paid.

My advice "Mr M" is to be very wary of spreading malicious falshoods about "Loose Cannon", particularly if you two have history, it could land you in a lot of trouble with the local authority you happen to be licenced in.

Which is where, "Mr Motivator" BTW?

If it's licensed for 5, then it is legally only allowed to carry a maximum of five punters.

Send an e-mail to your licensing officer.
