No . . . . but the Pheonix Four bought it for a tenner & walked away with about £15m each.

And you have to laugh at these four Arthur Daleys . . . . they just walked off & got away with it!!

Because the unions had been so militant over years and years that there was effectively little or no productivity. The resultant lack of investment confidence resulted in a poor, unreliable product range.

No-one else wanted to buy it except a group of asset strippers.

As much as I distrust unions.......I cannot see whatever they vote actually affecting the sale of a complany.

I don't want my street signs being written in Urdu in the future.

If Labour hadn't let in half of the Indian Sub Continent and Turkey, the unemployment figures would have been half of what they stand at today.

And as for trade unions . . :lol:


Did Boris not recently change his mind on London Cab age limits?



Nope. Its under consultation with Britains biggest Taxi driver representative body.

And as for your other comments, I would expect no more from a Union Puppet.

Goodbye Labour. \:D/


Chill GBC time will tell, although I can't see a conservative government listening to cab drivers, don't remember the last one doing so! The party of market forces!
