There are a number of unions/associations who would gladly take your money. However in my opinion only one or two are worth it.

Where are you based?

Are you telling me that Tootsville doesn't exist? I was trying to book a holiday there for next year. :cry: So it looks like being Great Yarmouth then. Is that left or right off the M8?

Seems a bit unfair that nobody has answered the poor chaps original question - CC point him at the individual membership thingy. Early bird gets the worm!

I take the hint.

There are numerous bodies.

The GMB, the T&G, the RMT and the National Taxi Association, established way back in 1960 with a dashing once young administration officer who is exceptional and has letters after his name.

Perhaps he will take the hint that the one named in full is the one to go for because the rest are just a bunch of acronyms.

Perhaps I should have put the National Taxi Association in bold, and capitals, just to make sure :lol:

Or do as you did - and make it the only one with a LINK!

The underline and italics were my own idea.
