Nobody will vote for better standards if they think it will cost them money. The I'm alright jack attitude ruins local cab trades. That is why Manchester is 'nearly' right in their policy.

I tend to partially agree.

I think Manchesters 'controlled expansion' is quite retarded.

But I think your trade reps are actually nice people who have there hearts in the right place.....but are perhaps retarded too.....purely and selfishly because they aint in the NTA.

Not the case as I understand it. They sometimes issue more than recommended but there are reasons for that albeit political ones. But it means that good mushers who have done their time renting are on a moving waiting list

Sometimes?.....when was the last time they issued the number of plates as recommended by the UMD survey?

Sorry......you have a survey and adhere to it.....you dont make your own rules.

But thats my opinion.....and I know f*ck all....just comment :wink:
