Restrictive Business Practices (RBP)


Abuse of dominant market position by private or public sector producers in preventing or restricting entry of new suppliers, or otherwise restraining fair and open competition. RBP include apportioning of customers or markets among themselves, collusion to fix prices, and/or discriminatory pricing. Also called restrictive trade practices.

Is that a reference to your little man

Incidently how are they restricting services to the customer?

Opinion you say:

A restricted practice operates by herding people together and selling them on like cattle. In our case, to dumb, feckwitted Taxi Drivers that don't know their ar*e from their elbow.

Instead of allowing people to leave the airport concourse unabated. British Airport Authorities (BAA) create a restriction, or bottleneck to slow their progress. They then restrict or limit their choice to the service they require, in this case, a taxi service. This effectively turns the passenger into a commodity, to be sold on to some complete plank that already pays to provide a licensed service to the customer. Enter, Forward Travel.


In response to Toots:

No, customers are customers. They have a choice. Not a fettered choice or a restricted choice, but a free choice, and they are not supposed to be turned into commodities, to be sold as a consequence of being denied their right to exercise that choice.

A restricted practice is about restricting services to the customer, with the sole purpose of selling the customer to the service provider.

If the free drop of point where any further away from the main terminal at Edinburgh Airport, the punters would have to buy camels to get to there.

In response to Toots:

Restricting customer access to services and thereby restricting the service providers' access to the customer, is exactly why BAA, can charge for providing a service. If both the customer and the service provider had unfettered access to each other, there would be nothing to charge for. The customer would cease to be a commodity to be sold on.


Not my definition but fact, none the less:

Restrictive Business Practices (RBP)

Like I said in the other link your opinion doesn't hold up

Toots, I can't help being a male. It's my gender. I didn't choose to be. It just happened naturally. You don't have to oppose everything I say. Your man problems have nothing to do with me. If you knew anything about BAA, and their operation at Edinburgh Airport, you would not have to ask any mores stupid questions.

If you want to get a flight up, I'll show you around the restricted practice you seem to think doesn't exist?


I think you will find my opinion stacks up perfectly when it comes Edinburgh Airport.

I think you mean it's your sex not your gender. As to whether it's your gender we only have your word for that

gender identity definition
Function: n
: the totality of physical and behavioral traits that are designated by a culture as masculine or feminine

Encyclopedia
gender identity

an individual's self-conception as being male or female, as distinguished from actual biological sex. For most persons, gender identity and biological characteristics are the same. There are, however, circumstances in which an individual experiences little or no connection between sex and gender; in transsexualism, for example, biological sexual characteristics are distinct and unambiguous, but the affected person believes that he or she is-or ought to be-of the opposite sex (see transsexualism). Gender identity is not fixed at birth; both physiologic and social factors contribute to the early establishment of a core identity, which is modified and expanded by social factors as the child matures.
