i take your point, perhaps we should spend a few quid and hire a taxi and minicab from the same point.

If any of us are murdered or raped on route we can report back to TDO

What's the problem then? If there's lines of them all cued up not getting any work only making 30 nicker a day then there can't be many of them driving down the M4.

Did we ever say there was? There's sufficient numbers to cause an accident, and that's the part that matters.

For a PH driver who wanted this thread locked, you're doing your level best to keep it going.

How's work in your PH land then Dagger?

Indeed we are.

Imagine studying to be a London Taxi driver and having to work 3 nights a week.

Thick cnuts eh? We could be out where you work and all be clearing up in ? nights a week. :D

It was tongue in cheek about locking the thread GBC. One day probably into page 45 something constructive might come into it. PH by me has picked up slightly in the last couple of months due to the conviction of 2 HC drivers for multiple rapes. But I'll admit it's a shame on the rest because im quite sure the majority of them do a great job.

Hi guys,seems that you have missed me! well down to business.

1. I can assure you all that there is no hidden agenda,nor do i have any ulterior motives for being so vociferous on this subject .My colleagues and i only want access to bus lanes to benefit both our members and the travelling public.

2.I always try to play with a straight bat.

3.I fully support Derek's Manchester action and am UNITED behind them.

4. PERHAPS after next weeks meeting, i will have some exciting news for your attention.

TFL ACCESS LANES FOR ALL PRIVATE HIRE USER, and bus lane access across the land for all private hire providers[/color].

Pretty sure the GMB are, it's the bosses association that don't want change.

Worst thing there is is a bosses association. :roll: :roll:
