I think stewart you are living in a dream world mate.
I've just had a look at you site and the numbers dont add up. Now many will not be surprised at that. But I was.
I take it you use your site for internal correspondence. Because that is the only way you site numbers add up. :shock:
But even if you had the biggest supa dupa taxi site in the world. So f***ing what !!!

Answer Tom's question about your financing first. Oh and grow up, you sound like a 3 year old.

Considering the size of the Taxi industry in the UK I am somewhat surprised by the lack of contributors to TDO as it really is the only independant.



You may be as familiar with the regulatory side of the industry as I am with your technical knowlege Stewart, but in any case you may have noticed that the site generally challenges some of the vested interests in the trade, unlike most (all?) other sites and publications which tend to represent the vested interest view.

To that extent the site was never intended to win any popularity contests, and the relatively poor readership figures bear this out.

Also, what is equally clear is that the taxi 'net community' is relatively small in relation to the total trade, with the core contributors either flitting from one site to another in the past two to three years, or confining themselves to more specialist sites such as your own support-type site or London trade-oriented ones.

Combining the two factors has resulted in relatively poor readership figures, and even poorer ones in terms of contributions, and you are correct that some of the more strident (to put it mildly) contributions may put a lot of people off, but historically sites of this type (not just trade-related ones) have demonstrated a difficulty in striking a reasonable balance between free speech and civilised discussion.

There is perhaps some consolation in the fact that the site is the busiest of its kind, at the moment at least, and readership figures for the articles featured on our homeage are considerably higher than for the forum.

Apart from TTFUK at its peak this forum is probably as busy as all the other similar sites in the UK put together, including the several sites aimed at local trades.

Sad but true.

We would of course encourage our forum members to look at TDO but unfortunately with clowns like Yorkie lambasting anyone that mentions our products and the anonomous phone abuse our customers get when they post their details on your site, I am some what reluctant to set my nice customers up for an arse kicking from your resident Trolls.

I will give it a break for a month or so as it does take up valuable time.
Keep me posted if anything intersting pops up.



is this pin stripped [edited by admin] now accusing me of phoning his customers up?

you arrogant [edited by admin] Stewart, why would I want to phone up your bunch of underfunded opperatives?

anyway if they use equipment you sold them its a wonder anyone gets through.

love and best wishes.

none of his figures add up ask the liquidators of the company that went tits up for more than the annual turnover.

then we were told that this went bust for political reasons.

you know TDO you do the trade no justice, at all, Stewart is the guy who wears pin striped suits and spreads misinformation.

he thinks hes better than us well he lives off the fat of the land a total failure at maths.

he needs to handle the more robust contributions, Stewart cannot handle the truth.

perhaps no I wont say it.

Do us all a favour Geoff and look at this....

Oh, and Stewart being "Pin Striped"???? ROFL.

I wouldn't employ a programmer that doesn't.
Unfortunately, the computing dictionary doesn't provide a definition for "logic race". Midas is riddled with them. Very clever code indeed. :roll: Sad but true.

alledgedly, she thought the products she was selling actually existed what a stupid cow.

Split your sides over this one, data heads, radios, xda's & pda's she thought these were there to be sold.

She did not believe this was just a figment of stewarts inagination, or stock held by the liquidator even she was though she was told on numerous occaisions.

Still that's life.

Been paid yet linda?
