Perhaps you should spend a day at a central London Police station and watch as the countless offspring of these scumbags walk through the door time and time again.

Are you part of the Gypo patronisation society? Lend us a pair of your rose tinted glasses. 8)

They contribute fook all to society, and never have done . . . that's if you don't count prison officer posts that they've created.

Wake up son.


I hope you don't mind me passing your posts on to an officer at the CRE.

The advantage of working with East-European drivers ist hat they are trained.

I'm assuming you train your candidates how to register as self-employed and fill in a tax return?

And how do you train your candidates to understand regional accents? :?

I think your getting mixed up between proper gypsies and the hangers on.

We have Appleby Fair up here each year, the proper gypsies never cause trouble and are always polite....trouble starts with, I think there called tinkers, who have basically hijacked the gypsy name.

perhaps the government should consider insisting on drivers coming to the UK to work passing the iso course which some councils now insist on

Perhaps the government should bring in a mandatory DSA test for all new drivers.

A topographical knowledge in all areas of the same type used in London, where the applicant verbally names every street from point A to point B.

That would also make sure the applicant could converse in English.

Are your drivers criminally checked from their date of birth?

And would it be fair to say that Romania is the most corrupt country in the EU?


I don't think that's fair to say at all.

My girl friend is from Romania and I love the country. There's sharks in Ro but there's also sharks in london.

Most of the people I meet on my travels in Eastern Europe are very friendly, polite and well mannered. I'd love to have a few drivers from there in my company.

The last British person I interviewed for a job wanted to be paid cash in hand so he could carry on cheating the dole (ie thieving from my tax contributions)

At least drivers from eastern europe aren't entilled to rip off the system


Well they're not entitled to rip off the system for the 1st 12 months but when they don't earn enough they will certainly be able to claim 'tax credits'. We could always go over there and rip off their system..... oh no they haven't got one :roll:

Perhaps as I keep saying getting a badge and licence should be made far more difficult than it is. Make 'em sweat in college for a year before they even get a sniff at the steering wheel of a taxi.

Yes please, but only on the understanding that you mention they're a bunch of Guardian reading tossers who would do well to have a 12 bore discharged at shoulder level.

Please reinforce the [edited by admin] part.

Ta. :lol:
