Didn't know that was the case. I know they have a survey, I thought they followed recommendations. But they certainly have managed growth so everybody seems to get a result 8)


I'm afraid it is.....and I suppose it depends on the definition of a result.

From a moral high ground the result should be the public getting the best possible service?

I agree. Modern fleet, all access vehicles and numbers that dictate 24 hour coverage. Compare that to Stockports fate :cry: :cry:

I dont disagree and I support the survey they paid for in that respect.

However I wonder how many of the trade, and I include myself in that, would have suggested age limits say 3 months ago?

Totally agree with you but that is the taxi trade conundrum. Live for today - feck tomorrow - grass is always greener. I qoute you from an earlier blog and Sharleen Spitteri; Careful What You wish For :cry:

I didn't suggest that you had an interest in Stockport I suspected you may have had a newly aquired interest in Manchester.


I see lol, then wouldn't it have been simpler to get to the point and ask if I had a newly acquired interest in Manchester?

Quote:
Your non-answer has probably confirmed my suspicions.


"LMAO" please continue you are now becoming entertaining, what other misguided suspicions are circulating in your head?

Quote:
I am not the person you blatantly think I am


I haven't got that far yet but I do have my suspicions as I suspect do many others.

Quote:
so just judge me on my comments


Your comments so far have been totally misguided and factually incorrect so if you are to be judged on that performance then my preliminary judgement would cast you as being less than credible. I have read lots of posts in the past from people who match that photofit but eventually more often than not they are made to eat their fiction.

Quote:
not on what you suspect my motives are


I figured that after lurking in this forum for nearly six years you must have had a specific "motive" for coming on here and seeking me out but I suspect many will be questioning the credibility of your lurking statement.

Quote:
The reason I posted


I think we all know why you posted but it is blatantly obvious to me that like many of those who have gone before you, you substitute assumptions for fact.

Quote:
I said; people who create unrest in regulated towns because they have nothing to lose wind me up.


It would appear to me you are accusing me of creating unrest in regulated towns but no doubt you will inform me to which regulated towns you refer. You must have a tolerant disposition if I've wound you up for the last six years and this is the first time you felt compelled to step out of the shadows.

Quote:
Peoples lives get ruined and the taxi trade loses.


The argument of protectionism by way of quantity controls has been debated many times on this forum and there are some on here who will no doubt suggest that many lives have already been ruined because of restriction.

Perhaps you have a divine right to be protected by a handful of councillors, I do not know but it would appear that is what you are saying. Personally I don't believe any of us do.

Now if you want to go back to the future then there are numerous threads on the "rights and wrongs" of deregulation that you can read to your hearts content but another one we don't need.

However if you have a problem with me then put all your questions into one post and have done with it.

Regards

JD

ZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz................ Wow what a dream that was. I dreamt I'd shat a hedgehog in the back of a TXII driven by Skip after reading Collected Short Verses by Charles007. JD was the head of licensing in Manchester and Carlisle United had won the FA Cup.......

JD I didn't seek you out after being on the site for 6 years :roll: . A change of circumstance and a change of stance by you, coincided with a sh#t decision by Stockport Council and I got a rush of blood. On the many but infrequent occasions I have viewed the site I have been screaming incredulously at all sorts, not least of which are Skip's views on purpose built and disabled cab availability for instance. But I haven't had the time to get involved.
(By the way CC HTF do you find the time to do what you do :?: I watched a Bond film the other day and saw Johnathan Pryce as the head of a media organisation with a load of screens in front of him and thought it was you :lol: )
Still think you rejoiced too much at deregulation in areas that didn't affect you and changed your views when it got close to home.
