Taxi Driver Online

Gotta agree with you there Gus regarding badges.....But when the profiteers who don't even know the make of meter in the cab let alone, drive it, ask such a small sum from drivers just enough to run the vehicle and pocket some pin money...limits on plates would eradicate such operators hence free up ranks...it's all a tax dodge at the end of the day..i've never believed in the second income squad squeezing what they could from our Trade...

Stop polluting the City, they say.

Yeah, but is he right?

It's time the taxi trade grew up.

I don't hear the banks saying there should be a restriction on banks. O rjoiners saying that their numbers should be restricted. Or electricians. Builders. Corner shops. Newsagents. Butchers.

No, what these folks do is present their wares to the consumer and the consumer makes the choice. They don't choose you then you're not good enough, ta ta.

Why do taxi drivers think they should be any different?



If business is bad because of the recession, which our trade saw coming 18 months ago, then isn't it sensible to do something about it rather than bleating?

Like doing private airport runs, it only takes minimal advertising.

Like delivering parcels for mail order companies.

Like delivering flowers.

Schools runs.

Take aways.

Contract yourself to companies for staff transfers.

The potential is enormous.

All you need is some gumption, some drive and your own vehicle. Which is precisely what restriction stops you from doing.

Restriction stifles enterprise.

No support? Then no one would apply for a licence when the cap is lifted would they?

So, what's your problem. Let's lift the cap and see who has the support?

Why haven't they already ?And why don't you try to get driver support to back you i wonder? Surely they all can't be classed as being stoooopeeeeed?

Maybe they just don't want to find themselves without a cab.

Maybe they just don't want to find themselves without a cab. Wink
nope we are just happy the way it is

Here we ****ing go again, all you fair and free for all merchants, why don't you offer asylum seekers free lodgings in your houses? after all isn't it you lot who advocate free stuff for all, c'mon open up your door and invite someone in to stay for free, when the teapot is empty you might understand it's because too many ppl needed a drink, you really sicken me, there is one thing and one thing only going on between you and that is to destroy any profit in the cab trade.

Why can't you just be honest and admit it, you want something that has always had a value for nothing, once you have it you will see it's now as worthless as what you paid for it and will move on to bust up something else that always worked long before you arrived.

How about this suggestion, if any plates are to be issued they must be issued to any owner who can supply a brand new £35k LTi vehicle, after all we can't have the paying public riding around in old stock can we, it'd be against their human rights wouldn't it, I bet you ain't got the bottle to go into £42k including interest payments to satisfy your desire to be an owner driver have you, ok to slip in the backdoor with £2k of cast off cab though isn't it, it shows you lot out the abusive way a plate was issued and then sold, how can you say not fair and then when someone allows you what you wanted you sell it.

Right now you lot think you are being clever, but what goes around comes around, this could bite you in the arse in future when some upstart tears down your life because he knows how to legal challenge ppl, never before has the UK been so full of theiving ***ts, it's a real shame we stopped Adolf, if he'd won none of you would've existed in either body or being and all this PC [edited by admin] we have now would be unheard of.

Rant over.

Nice night at the pub then?

Nope, and thats an answer from someone who doesn't have an answer because they know what I wrote is the truth of the matter tbh.

Utter pash.
You are the one with no answers except "lets just leave the corrupt system alone cos it suited me just fine".

You're a dinosaur, and you know what happened to them

Not at all, I'm protecting my livelyhood against chancers like you, it's good to see from the replies I've recieved how they smacked you straight in the chest, because all you've written back is the same old standard tosh you write back to anyone who disagrees with your new world order plans, if I walked into a football club and decided to tinker with it I'd get told to F/Off PDQ what makes you think you have the right to interfere with something that doesn't really concern you, nobody says you can't have a plate, only you made that decision because you don't think it's right to buy in if you want in, nothing is for free in life mate, it might be a benefit book country but among the workers there is a knowledge that you have to speculate to accumulate but you seem unprepared to do that.


Lets roll on a few years and assume you got your way on things, what comes next, you insist the Government buys you a car, the petrol station has to provide you with free fuel for the week? you and your kind are just killing the country off slowly, not noticed how many kebab and curry houses pack into one road? that's because anyone can open one and everyone does, the difference is they work a community thing where the empty one is kept going by the full one, if there's such a thing now, us, we're one man operations, we have to earn to pay our bills on our own, you are so nieve to the ways of the world it's frightning, your arguement just doesn't hold up, ppl like me know ppl like you, and we know that when things drop off to the point it's not worth doing anymore you will just walk on the trade and leave it facing many years of trouble clearing up the mess you caused.


I know you won't agree and I'm not gonna sit here for the next 2 weeks trying to educate you, so take this as my full and final answer to you, from someone whose been there and done it, and your way does not work end off.

More pash. I'm not the one looking for the government to protect me from competition. If that doesn't work, what you gonna try next?
Get off your *rse and sort your problems, instead of crying in your beer and bleating on about immigrants and spongers.
Make your council enforce decent driver standards, before they make you extinct
