Curious that Gladstone claimed all along that there was no demand being unmet but now admits that it is being met by private hire plying for hire outside pubs and clubs.
Clearly Mr G is a stranger to logic.
And when Mr G exhorts us to read his diatribe on Fastblacks and then email councillors, isn't he really asking them to email his views?
Finally, I find it incredible that the man who claims to have nothing to do with anything associated with the forum, who has apparently taken a back seat, is now leading a concerted attack on private hire, in particular ECPH.
AlI can say is how much I admire his new found courage. Keep it up Alan, keep it up.
Personally, it doesn't matter to me whether ECPH is allowed to put their company logo on the cars. This happens elsewhere, so why is Edinburgh so special, Edinburgh's taxi trade so precious.
The certain truth is that it is the Gladstones of this trade who have brought us to the point where PH has amassed considerable market clout.
Restricting taxis, given the public a reduced service level, and then protecting vested interests by milking customers, treating them with such scant regard, has brought us to the current position where our livelihoods are in jeopardy.
Nice one Alan.
