Here's a wild guess Mr T - they don't want to carry the can, in the event that something goes wrong while following their guidelines :roll:

Because they think they will get away with it.

Thus it is incumbent on as all to fight it. :-s

Thin end of a wedge that will allow them to exclude anyone they like.

Next it will be migraine sufferers, poor circulation and all the way to halitosis.

Skull.. I will forgive you your naivety, the Ministry of Transport best-value guidelines are simply guidelines.... their opinion... which they cannot be held responsible for... if in doubt they advise councils to go to court, so that the courts give them the definitive answer.... that is the stupidity of the system... I would strongly advise anyone with diabetes to keep a eye on what these monkeys are up to them .

Why am I not rolling on the floor laughing?

Why has this thread lost it's light-heartedness?

Why am I asking such naive questions in the Scottish Section?

Yes.... but the good news is... that at the meeting of minds today.... all the national associations and unions are unanimous that they will fight this...as one. :wink:

Why do thick punters wind down the window when you've got the air con on?


I thought it was me who only got them sort. I had one on Friday who got in and said it's warm driver, the bellwhiff decided to wind the window down, I went off into one of my customer service tirades saying, "is it cool in here mate"? Yeah he said it's grand. I said well shut the F***IN windows the air con in on, the belwhiff said oh sorry driver didn't think.


You mean you don't lock your windows so they can't play with them :shock:



Can you lock wind down windows? :mrgreen:


You mean you can still get cars with wind down windows :shock:

oh tell me why ????????????????



Because PH wants to be HC, but being PH means they don't have a clue about it, as indeed I didn't back when I was PH, infact I can't believe I was such a knob not being able to workout that 750 cabs into 70 rank spaces doesn't go, doh.

It's almost like a Pamela Anderson fan lusting for the day Pammy says give it to me big boy, but her only saying it when she's 80 years old and not desirable anymore.

Did you spend the night with stella again? It's exactly that attitude that allienates the trade. When you have one provider thinking it's more knowledgeable than the other :roll:
