So you're just desparate to sell your plate once you're finished with it?

How much would you like it to be worth?

BTW, rumour has it that the only connection Tone's owner has with the trade is the money he makes out of him :shock:


When I've finished with it in 30 years time maybe? You're life must be really something when all you seem to think about is money.

If I could make a decent living doing decent hours for the next 30 years then surely thats what counts?

My plate was worth zero pounds 2 years ago, then after JD did his crusade about the station taxi rank being the domain of WAV only vehicles being illegal, the council were forced to stop the issue of saloon licenses due to decreasing numbers of WAV's......We lost 20 plus WAV's and are still losing them. But hey I'm not in a wheelchair and I dont do wheelchair jobs, so why would I give a sh*t huh?

Now thanks to TDO my plate is actually worth £2K on its own......which obviously fills me with a great deal of comfort. Espectially on those regular days when I'm earning 3 maybe 4 pounds per hour.

I still find it galling that Crankie and Co seem to think they can fix the Dundee Cab trade.........mind you one is called Jim and I understand his mate takes care of his badge. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Well I've had no communication with tx_op, but anyway your sentence has a certain illogicality to it :)

But it's you that wants the featherbedding, not me, so that's a bit rich.

So if your plate's worth 20 grand you'll just hand it back in?

Captain Cab, the most selfless taxi proprietor in the country :roll:
