Taxi Driver Online

I don't see much difference myself they charge about £240.00 here inc insurance and that's for PH. I know you can get a 3 year old HC for £100 per week here but that's on a settle buy so you'd be responsible for the maintenance and insurance of the vehicle also I'm not sure what period that's over either.

Anyway I think delimitation is over rated and if it is to be done it should be followed by strict driver standards and vehicle standards. That I believe is the end of my tuppence worth

Nope, mines been 1 driver OD since I got it, it's not seen a circuit since then either, I take minimal amounts out of it tbh, I use it provide me with bill money and a few beers, I wouldn't rent it out, and it came my way because of bad drivers, 8 weeks the night driver missed his payin and managed to bash both front and rear of the car and lose the topsign, final straw was when the day driver rear ended a truck, so the in the pipe deal was done that day, plus the seller was my circuit owner for 11 years previously so I think he wanted me to have it tbh.


There's no shame in making a profit, it's just a really dirty trick way you've achieved it, the council doesn't advocate plate for profit, it advocates not having many units ratios to demand.

See there is a difference between a Taxi and PHC, the Taxi relies on ppl who want a ride right now, the PHC is supposed to be for ppl who don't mind waiting for the car to arrive.

Over the years it's become a big issue if anyone has to wait longer than 5 minutes for a cab to arrive, yet locally those that started that fashion have moved on and left a legacy of ***t, and the reason for it is they were crap on the desk and couldn't shift the work in an efficient manner, but the fact is if ppl are waiting cabby is busy and earning, if cabby is waiting he's unprofitable, no other industry has this pizza timeout factor to deal with, ppl wait in banks,pubs and clubs and say nothing about the wait or the price but as soon as they want a cab out comes the old moaner.


As for granting without objection, if they granted you one like that they'd have to grant all one also, pretty soon you'd have plenty of extra cabs and not enough punters, this is the point I make to you Ali, what you've actually done is to damage the fabric of the trade, you can't see it, but eventually you'll sit there on a rank for 3 hours and wonder where the punters are, and you can be happy in the knowledge that someone else has acted the same way you have and made it untenable.


Tbh Ali, I could come up north and within 2 years I could finish every cab and firm off with what I know, I could also do it locally, but I look at certain others who've played the trade and I don't want the hatred that is felt towards them, the old saying is he who laughs last laughs loudest and I can assure you you won't be getting the last laugh, not in this game anyway, time will prove me right, and that wasn't a threat it was a prediction, I've seen em come and go over the years, and mark my words you will regret your small victory in the long run.


£350 is a bit over the top, but then again if no one drives for them they will have to drive it themselves or go bust, I don't like barons either tbh, they are a liberty on the trade, but why should guys like me suffer because of their greed.

you use it to provide you with beer money.
as for the council not advocating plate for profits........you are joking right?
the terms of the act clearly state that plates are non transferable.
the council are supposed to uphold the letter and spirit of that act.
what they do instead is allow plates to be held in the name of a company and allow the transfer or reissue of that plate when the company changes hands.
is this in the spirit of the act?
they do this under the guise of it allowing operators to retire??? then why not just let them retire???and hand the plate back??

they know full well they are being transfered for huge amounts of cash.
they also deny that they are worth any money,what kind of ppl are they,they put ppl at huge risk because they know the can take the plate back whenever they like.

this is local goverment rubber stamping blackmarketeering
open your eyes man

again tell me what dirty tricks ive used??
ive used the system as many others do
thier system
the only differance is im being honest about whats really happening.

no no no
we have good quality controls up here.and a knowledge test of sorts.
the only losers are the barons and the current owners who would lose there drivers or have to reduce the rental.

again it not a popularity contest...i dont care what massa thinks.
some will stand for there right and say this is me this is what i stand for
others clearly wont...faslies being a classic example of that.

thats where youre wrong because the driver has no choice or at least very little choice.the owner can sqeeze them dry,and they do.
and yes why should part timers like you suffer eh bloody plate barons stopping you making youre beer money an hour earlier...total liberty it is
but dont start me on the part time brigade...yer no a fireman are yi

Good luck for getting 50k for your plate m8. The problem is the idiot who thinks that 50k is going to give him a living & a pension when he retires. Anyone who pays for a plate that should be free is cracked.
Plates should only reflect the admin cost of the local council to run & oversee the licensing regime. The closed shop mentality of the trade has more than a hint of protectionism about it.
The real problem is the drivers & owners of the plates who decide that their vehicle & plate is worth xthousands of pounds & sell well over the real life cost. In real world their 10 yr old tx is worth 5k they know it & deliberately inflate the price because of the demand for plates.
It all started when every second owner of every plate decided to up the price. The game is pass the parcel. When the music stops [plate’s dereg] the last person holding the plate looses 50k. I don't play their silly games.

i agree but i think the standards should be in place first

now thats the best description ive ever heard

pass the parcel
musical chairs anyone

No real point to this is there, no matter what you've been told by umpteen different drivers about what you've done you will not accept anyones word, I'll leave it here I think and make a will Ali, cos I think you are in the wrong part of Dodge to be playing your game, they might tollerate you having it on yer toes once, but if you ruin the livelyhood of all those local cabbies knowing Glasgow like I do I'd say even though it isn't Glasgow you will be a very frightened man some time in the future.

Don't say nobody warned you.

ahh never takes that long does it.

i have made perfectly sound and valid posts in response to you and you come out with .

someones gonna kill you.

you could never know the intent of others doom,so in order to jump to the conclusion that "someones gonna kill you" it must be you that wants to kill me,subconciosly or otherwise.
and for what because you cant win an argument.

here is some advice doom.... go see a shrink before it becomes an even bigger problem for you than it already is.

if you really had a valid arguement you wouldnt have to stoop so low.

oh and btw
as you can probably see i do not have a problem saying what needs to be said.
and niether do i have a problem doing what needs to be done.
i dont frighten easily,and even when i do it doesnt change my opinion or my actions,they can beat me down and jump on my head if they can,but i will just argue even more strongly.

i dont know if youve noticed but the topics discussed here are about taxi's.

i didnt write the satanic verses you know and that author is still alive i think

unless of course youre saying regulation has become some sort of cult,and i am commiting some sort of sacrilege .

go have a look at yourself in the mirror doom, its pathetic whats staring back at you

Once again you fail to see anything written in front of you.


Point 1 - I AM NOT THREATENING YOU, I am too far away and wouldn't be interested in attacking you, but there are those that will, see the Kilmarnock thread for some sort of proof, do you think someone thought ... hey theres a taxi lets petrol bomb it for the hell of it?


I must admit though reading the threads on the other site I do find you and a couple of others very annoying and if I was walking by and I saw any of you getting seen to I wouldn't bother to help you like I would help someone normally, you are laughing at everyone right now, but reading you shows you in a very bad light as a person, my grandad would've said of you ....he's one who thieves off his own .... hence the saying among common ppl ... never thieve off your own, you have found a loophole and you are exploiting it, but what makes it worse is that you didn't want a plate for the right reasons, you simply wanted it to sell it, which makes you a parasite, not satisfied you now want another two, yet you say plate barons are bad, how many arms and legs do you have? you need more than you have to drive 2 cabs at the same time, so give over mate I know what you are so stop dressing it up as some sort of crusade against the establishment.




Stands by for another Ali last word justification.

spare me the 2 bob psycology it wont work.

you wouldnt help an old granny getting a kicking so dont bother with the urban hero crap,christ you wont even admit what councty your in
as for the kilmarnock thread you dont know what went on there.
maybe its personal,maybe its most of the public who hate taxi's.
who knows,why you think it should concern me ,only you can explain.

tell me what i have stolen??
and who i stole it from??
youre grandad sounds like a wise man,but he was probably talking about burgulars, junkie,s dole cheats,or polititions.

i wanted a plate for the right reasons,and the law said it should have been granted from the off.

wheres the loophole

it went to court were it was proven that i was right and the letter of the law should have been applied.

wheres the loophole

the council tried to bend and twist the law to suit there policies
they used the taxpayers money to defend there policies.

and you say i tried to exploit a loophole

get a grip man

a crusade is what it is doom.
in as much as it wont stop,and i for one will comit all my recourses to the cause.

Poor doom he played pass the parcel & lost!

I've not hidden where I am mate, if you can't keep up with the posts that's your fault.

The loophole is if you made a song and dance about your right to a plate and then disposed of it within a year, I bet the LO's love seeing you come through the door, like crabs from a one night stand.

And why do you make up lies about ppl on the net, you accuse ppl of having multiple accounts when they challenge you, you have no idea what sort of service I give, I can assure you I ain't a lard arse like you driving past disabled ppl cos it's too much hassle to get the ramps out, you think your clever, I think you're a potential Dodo the way you are going about things right now.

Bye Bye Ali.


Btw, did you mean recources or resource's.

Pipe down George Osbourne.

was that a dummy hitting the floor
