Swannee is not interested in something as trivial as evidence. It's about protecting his beloved “trade” whatever the [edited by admin] that is.
:-|


Garry, You and dumbo make a lot of assumptions and stupid statements about people and events when you really don't know what you're talking about and have never bothered to check facts. I have evidence about ECPH and it will be acted upon soon enough.

However, in this case the simple fact is that you refused point blank to do wheelchair work on health & safety grounds before. Then you were prepared to do that same work for a PH operator. Choice has nothing do with it; just admit it, you thought you saw an opportunity to stick one up the taxi trade ( aye son it is a trade that you never quite mastered) and in so doing proved yourself a liar.
Equally Taylor can't or won't say why he is running with the same double standards.

I couldn't care less about your agendas. Justify your actions or just admit that you are a pair of hypocrites and stop changing the subject and spouting your usual unfettered access bullshit.

Once again, Swannee you are living in a Dream World. Yes, I refused wheelchairs but on occasion, I would carry a wheelchair passenger depending on the circumstances. And if you read my posts and actually take on board what I have written you would understand, for me at least, it was about choice. And not being coerced into doing the job through fear of losing the licence.

When circumstances permitted, I simply left the job to muppets like you.


As for double standards, you are having a laugh, your precious “Taxi Trade” has no standards. For fear of repeating myself, remember the exclusive CRT and City Cab Rank at the Highland Show? Or what about the Onward, Forward and Backward travel rank at the airport.

I take it, you do know that ECPH, were sending the wheelchairs' customers from their desk in the main terminal down to your rank.

My previous posts, the ones that Swannee doesn't like and won't answer because they are true.

Quote:
Incidentally, when did I ever “refuse to carry wheelchairs for the taxi trade”? When did your “trade” start taking responsibility for me doing the job? Does your precious “trade” afford me, protections if anything goes wrong? Who backs me up when the sh*t hits the fan, “the trade” are you having a fecking laugh?



Quote:
Let me sum up your “trade” Swannee, Fifteen hundred morons with a vested interest (illusionary plate value) lead by a dozen Uncle Toms' who pander to the council and only serve their own interests.

The only status a driver has is that of the casual labour, by propping up someone's pretendy little business.


The “TRADE” what a fecking joke and you actually believe this shi*e.



You know what you can do with your precious trade ... :roll:

Seeing as it's our trade skull and your no longer a part of it then your comments on these forums are worthless. Your input and concerns are of no relevance if you have no part in "our trade" anymore


Also, kinda coincidental that the thread I created to discuss your recent private message insulting me is now disappeared.

I was never a part of your “trade” Longshanks. And neither is any other driver, and what is more. The job is no longer worth doing. I wasn't disappointed when my licence was suspended, not in the least.

The little business illusion is crumbling before your very eyes.

You and Swannee have no dignity. I don't think you even know the meaning of the word, and you can't lose what you don't have so you'll be alright. :-|

“Seeing as it's our trade” oh really and what trade is that?

You Longshanks, have no identity whatsoever. It is all too apparent that you will clutch and pander to any remnant of brotherhood in a bid to ease your non-person status. For you, it is better to be a part of almost any illusion, and to such an extent. You will defend it in some vain hope it becomes a reality.


Tell us all Lonshanks, what rights and protection are afforded to you through your precious “trade”?

Then you can explain for the benefit of the viewers, what it means to be an Edinburgh Taxi Driver, in your mind at least?

After you've made an attempt at answering the above. You could put your real name at the bottom of your post so everyone can laugh at you on the rank.


Go on Longshanks, stun the viewers, it shouldn't be too difficult for someone who knows what “our trade” is all about. :-|

Not a chance. Swannee is off on some fantasy trip. When having his wet dream he forgot that he has to wake up.

I admit I'm at a loss as to why this thread is receiving so many views. I don't reckon it's worth responding, except we now have an opportunity to explore.

1. The title of this thread proves beyond a doubt that Swanee is either intellectually challenged or pretending to be. Which in turn would render him intellectually challenged anyway. It is so grammatically flawed a child of 5 could have scribed it better.

2. The information about the fone numbers came from a folder in ECPH's control room. Our names were not attached to the numbers. Therefore whoever received this information had to recognise our numbers. This narrows those numpties down to the few we have had direct communication with from our fones.

3. Because information is being leaked from ECPH's control room, there is no reason to believe that any other information pertaining to the company's business has been leaked. Swannee would like us all to believe it is. But he can't prove this. He has motives, more later. Suffice to say here, Swannee is a liar.

4. Swannee claims he has information that will damage the company. Now we all know Swannee hates the company. Because it threatens him and his "trade". Given this, what is holding him back. Why hasn't he already approached the authorities and given them the info. To damage the company. Couldn't be because there is no info, it's all a figment of Swannee's imagination.

I recall a sage I'm acquainted with telling me that dubious characters, unlike Swannee, don't threaten you with exposure, or harm, they just do it, then tell you what they've done and why.

If Swannee had ANY disparaging info, then the cops would already have it and ECPH would be under scrutiny. They don't, ECPH aren'nt, and "Walter Mitty" Swannee is reduced to issuing bogus threats.

Swannee, anyone with half a wit is not impressed. You really need to grow up.

5. Now Swannee reckons that ECPH are products of the devil incarnate. They are nefarious gangsters getting up to all kinds of illegal deeds. And they should be dealt with to protect Swannee and his vested interests by all accounts.

Two things occur here.

If Swannee was right, then how stupid is he. If ECPH was a dodgy gig, then what would stop them taking Swannee aside and doing what gangsters do. You don't really need a knee cap do you? Am I squeezing your testicles sufficiently Sir? Don't worry, we'll "look after" your family :wink:

Of course this is the modern world. The reality is that Swannee's fantasy is predicated on his imagination. He loathes ECPH for no other reason than that they are competing against what Swannee perceives is his interest.

Then wake up Swannee, because ECPH are doing nothing more than what happens in every other market sector. You price your product, they price theirs cheaper, and the customers decide. You lose. They win. Unless you can respond. And coming up with this guff is not responding.

Some further things come to mind.

6. There is no anonymity on the net. If you were right, and ECPH were dodgy, then there would be nothing to stop them identifying you and fulfilling your fantasy.

The fact that they're not is because they're laughing at you and concentrating on running and developing their business. Swannee is such small fry on their radar. The choice is world hire car domination :lol: or swatting a numpty? Who's got the time to bother about numpties?

But remember Swannee, there is no such thing as anonymity on the net. Anyone wants to know who you are, all they have to do is go through the Fastblacks portal. And we all know who he is. I can't name him here because nervous admins don't want to leave themselves open. But we all know who he is. He has the key. And everyone knows he knows who you are. Who Travis Bickle is. And the rest of the nest of vipers on the fanny forum. Everyone has a threshold.

Now let's consider questions about my dealings with ECPH. Pay attention now Swannee.

First, I don't recognise YOUR trade. The Edinburgh taxi trade is run by Uncle Toms who shecht on drivers and exploit them. I have no respect for either you or them.

Second, I have never ever done a wheelchair job for ECPH. To my knowledge neither has the Skull. But I don't care if he has. I may, or may not, that will be my own commercial decision.

Third, you are clearly not aware of any deal deal between the parties which would make doing wheelchair work more benefial than on council tarifffs. This proves that there is no real information being leaked from ECPH. That Swannee has diddly squat.

Fourth, ECPH should be doing us a favour. And we should be heeding it. Every customer they have is a vote against the black cab trade.

Ask yourself why.

Then we might just start to win.

So Swannee, you've embarrassed yourself. We all know that you are intellectually inferior. That you're a child.

Finally, it is clear to me that this whole thread has been orchestrated to throw mud at ECPh. I owe them nothing, nor they me.

It can't be coincidental that they are competing for a plum contract. The Social Work contract. I can't believe that Swannee's mud slinging is coincidental.

Clearly, that this happens now, ties it in with those who would be tendering against ECPH for the contract.

I smell the fetid stench of City and Central here. Two companies who have form in interfering in the rights and business of those who would compete against them. I may be wrong, but suspect I'm not.

Let them deny their involvement here and now, on this thread.

The message to anyone considering any of these organisations tendering has to be to look at what's on offer, and to consider the negative campaigning on proof alone. No proof, then it's bad politicking and ignore it.

Fact NOT fantasy. End of.

In the public interest these contracts should be awarded to those who represent the best value to the public purse providing equal quality of service, or better

There is no alternative. That's what the public who are paying for it demands.

As for Jasbar's comments and conclusions above, they are so wide of the mark that I will ignore them other than to ask him what the grammatical problem is in the heading.

As usual, he draws conclusions through flawed logical processes and pathetic suppositions in a feeble effort to divert attention from his own hypocrisy.

Go on Jasbar for once give us a short answer without the bullshit!

It looks like the questions are all too difficult for our Longhanks.

You're a lying T*T.

:lol:

Short enough for you?

You have no info. You haven't given anything to the cops.

You're just a frightened rabbit caught in the headlights.

And you've dreamed it's a Skoda :lol:

PS Tell Alan Bickle I'm asking for him. :wink:
