just been checking whats on the agenda,203020 are up for 31 ph plates ,bit of a surpise there, the ph drivers working here are claiming they are earning peanunts?,nice to see the head of accounts and benefits have reported 2 drivers ,long may that continue :P ,im not sure how they deal with benefit fraudsters but i would think it would be pay all the illegal benefit money back ot lose the badge,speaking of badges a lot of drivers bailed out after the council insisted you name the op you are driving for,good news for the honest cabbys,my money has went up slightly,there is still a few drivers driving on the old badges though ,they were paid for in may and the new one,s handed out in july,seems to be a lot of uninsured drivers in dundee for the moment

Eh?

Well I was certainly able to understand dundee wav's post a lot more easily than some of your own stuff (example from yesterday below), but since it's the Scottish section I thought that kind of thing was expected. :D

But if he suffers from a lack of punctuation and CAPITALISATION, then I think you're afflicted by too much :lol:

Drunken halfwits get in your Taxi, Fri/Sat, 2.30am. "Aw' ye' cannae' git' a' Taxi fir' love nor money in this Toon'", they say. Guess where ?. Canongate ?, Sth Clerk St ?, Brunstfield ?, Haymarket ?Howe St ?. W.T.F. !. When I was younger, (which,to be honest, wisnae' yesterday), and I was heading home on a Sat night, (to my place of residence, just sth east of Duddingston village), the only chance of a Taxi was the bottom of Dalkeith Rd/Cameron Toll !. Nowadays it's a pick-up, Sth Bridge, and it's "Aw' ma' feet", ( a' ken where I'd like tae' put ma' feet, and I do mean plural). The point is, there's plenty of Taxis, disnae' matter to the passenger who's drivintg them, Owner or Driver, there's plenty o' them !.

It's not another 31 plates, it's 31 licences to replace the 31 they already have, their new company has been set up and running alongside the old company for the past 2 months.

They will run both companies side by side and when the new company has all its licenses in place
previous company will fold, all they have to do is change one director and nobody ends up liable

Watch out for the LLP at the end of the company name.
