Charles007,
Thank-you for the festive wishes.
Just a couple of points;
You frequently make assertions about my unpopularity , I have spoken to many drivers from both sides over the weekend and It is not the impression I get. Even so, this is not 'x-factor' I'm totally unconcerned about a popularity contest, I have one concern....to represent our members and get results which benefit, THE TRADE AS A WHOLE! And I do!
I am fairly confident that you are not interested in our finances but you are having your strings pulled by a small group of 'agitators'. The funds have accrued over many years, surely you must see there is no 'grandfather' rights to the funds once a membership has expired. I couldn't go back to Mitton Fold Golf Club and say 'I used to be a member,
not now, can I have half your cash?'
Similarily, the 'affiliation', the small group who tried to hi-jack the PHCA need to understand, IT WAS NOT THEIRS TO AFFILIATE! The rules are crystal clear. Our Solicitor is in no doubt of this and presumably. so is yours otherwise you would have had your day in court.
Surely you must see this!
Following orders (albiet from a small group of ill-informed agitotors) is one thing, surely it is now time for you to show real leadership, tell them, persuing a divisive course and 'not working with us' is to the detriment of Prestons' Hackney trade as a whole!
The wise people on TDO have been saying this since day one!
Have a merry Christmas and a happy New Year
the solictor and our barrister are of the same opionon and the only thing that is stoping this is go ahead and if i got that you would be in court win are lose.
i know you are a liar, and you know you are leadership you dont understand the word, you are full of your won importance you have jump on the backs of your fellow drivers who run the PHCA, remember we had keith at the nta meeting you were never there and toald us what was gong on.
yes sir know, sir three bags full sir, thats you you cant bare the thought of another association you are totaly obsese bout me and geting rid of me from preston, even in you lasted update oh yes i know i have a copy i know what go,s on in you meetings.
i know you have been seen drinking with an officer of the council, i have been told of some one who plays golf with an officer.
you think as do some on here that i am stupid, dont know what i am doing, that i am thick, cant spell may be that is what people think of me and that is what i like them to know hi.
as i said before on here never jugde its book by its cover i have done this sort of work for years statred in the NHS, like people to jugde me but they dont realy know me only people i can trust get to know me and i dont trust you.
all that is going on in preston as gone on before nothing new for me i will get there and when i do it will be on trust, and a buiness standing, if i was not in preston you would not be doing all this i keep you on your toes cause you never know what i will do next. i like to think of myself as nanny Mcfee, when they do want me but need me i most stay, when they want me but dont need me i will go, and with you and tyson runing your cloned PHCA, i am sorry they do need me.
and here s me think you had the last word. how did i do for spelling
