Actually guys it's you who is the Christian's in this, you think your cause will lead to equality, which it will in a way, but that equality will be taken advantage of on a massive scale, I know things aren't perfect right now but when is it ever.

Right now what you want to see happen is like a doctor removing a melanoma by cutting off a whole arm.

I'm actually a very good business man, I just don't have the funding to play at the level I consider worth the risk, I might not be the con the cash type businessman, but I do know there are people who like to be delt with in an honest fashion who would in turn become regular custom if the business was something that supplied on a regular repeat basis, but right now you'd be a fool to even try to set up anything that required substantial investment due to the fact that you can't sell anything to people with no money, and that is how it is right now.

I'll leave it that when you get your way everything will come crashing down, remember if it happens this time there will never be no re-regulation and the plate will never have a value, so every Johnny come lately will be licensing up his 5 yr old Mondeo for cream time, that mean's, no proper cabbies, the customer will suffer all sorts of things like overcharging and IDGAF attitude on a mass scale, your desire to put everyone's noses out of joint is going to backfire seriously, PH was like this in the 70's locally, a bloke would finish work in his proper job on Friday evening, put up the company sticker in his daily driver and off he'd go to cherry pick, through the week there were no cabs as the professional cabby couldn't earn so left, what you propose will end up like me selling burgers outside McDonalds, or duty free stuff outside an off license, you effectively want to Del Boy the taxi trade.

Where do you get this tripe? You are not a businessman because you have little or no control over your trade or the market in which you operate. In fact, the closest you've come to a businessman is sleeping with one. You live in fear of your council, making you a slave to their illusion, which owns you. You don't own a plate or a business you have owners, controlling you by the fear of the day you might never see.

Fecking businessman, get a grip. #-o

It's not tripe, you are living in your own little world believing you are Sir Winston Churchill in 1940.

Why are you still worried about a trade you've left and have stated you're never going back to anyway, it makes no sense at all does it.

btw, when you switch alias' switch isp as well, it helps not to be able to be so obviously traceable. :wink:

I am not theorising or making things up to protect my illusion. I simply tell it the way it is. You are the one that needs to believe you are a businessman who owns something, when it couldn't be further from the truth. #-o

It's not about owning anything, as far as I'm concerned I know the plate belongs to the council, I own the right to use it in the same way a barrow boy does, the real issue lies with people who hate anyone having something they don't, and this is amplified if that person knows there is a way in but won't step up with the readies to be able to come in, you never seem to consider what is best for the customers nor the people who live in these areas, your way = 4X the numbers, 4X the pollution and unmaintainable fleets because the driver can't earn enough to maintain the vehicle, which Sherlock, leads to the public being at risk.

Never before have I seen this job be such a carcass with so many vultures circling overhead, you'd think every plate was a winning lottery ticket the way some go on about it, well, when the report comes in if the jury are fair and can see properly they will have to say de-regulation is a failure of epic proportions and the job is turning into a mobile dole queue and creating new problems, problems that weren't there ten years ago, I've lived it already, so if you want the population of Latvia to move in soon, keep going, that is all you will achieve and also the knock on is not only will the taxi game be finished, so will all the builder's and shopkeepers up your way, and you can sleep at night knowing you helped that happen.

What is all this p*sh? The story of the big bad world and how your mummy is failing to look after you properly. How many times, you are not a businessman, as you have little or no control over anything, you live in fear of the day you might never see. Your little illusion owns you. You have owners. They own you. Get it? #-o

Doom.... they will never realise that most hackney owners totally understand that they do not own the licence.... and always have... for they will never understand the concept of what a business is.... a person runs a business and makes a profit..... it's obvious to see you've been there regarding the oversupply of licences and the devastation it brings...... =D>

Businessmen take control of their own industry, and don't look to a bunch of Uncle Tom's representing their own interests. #-o

See, I told you Gary aka Skull, if FP can see it and I can see it, and the LO's have obviously seen it, how can we all be wrong.

You've been issued 3 plates I believe and you've sold all three of them on, that doesn't suggest you are a friend to the taxi trade, that says to me that you use it as a vehicle for personal profit, you didn't buy a plate then sell it, you sold something given to you three times over, and you wonder why no one takes you seriously, you're not much more than a door to door salesman if the truth is know, shows a definite lack of suitability to me to hold a license, you are for one hypocritical in that you call others dishonest, yet you seek to obtain to simply sell on again, if that isn't along the lines of obtaining by deception I don't know what is, and deceitful people are not fit to be licensed iirc?
