I don't rent. Don't use an office either.
Those that do pay around £240 for a cab with insurance and £50-150 for a radio, depending on the office.

No, I'm quite happy with the one we've got. Not the same standard as the KOL but it does stop everyone and his dog getting a badge.

truthfully thinking back.... to conversations I have heard in the past... the local private hire always wish that they could charge the same as the Scottish companies...

you can get Sefton hackney: exclusive hire... for150-180 for a week

Halcrow said plates in your manor went for £37,000 in 2010.

Did you state that Halcrow had it wrong, or did you swallow it as they also said no SUD? :?

For you dusty the question begs do you know what the rent is for hc days/nights or 24/7 ...Didnt think so, but ill give you a clue its less than it was 10 years ago x


Not precisely, but I know plates were £45k a few years ago, so I'd guess £30-35k at the moment, so it's hardly surprising that rentals have softened, but that's not really the point.



Which means you are neither a cab owner nor driver because if you were anything other than an alter ego you'd know what was what, so next lie please.


:lol: What a load of bull. You know I'm bang on, that's why you can only reply with bluster and abuse :lol:

]Dusty, no need for the pegi12 warning mate, you'll be tucked up with Humphrey the Hippo water bottle by the time I get back here tonight, unlike yourself I'm still a man and I do things men do, like participate in competitive sports and generally mix with folks both known and unknown to me, it's called being social and makes for a better society, unlike you who would just love to have a world of yes men at your feet, if the bed is wet later, don't blame Humphrey until you check him for holes, it might be you who has wee'd the bed again because you were too scared of the dark to make it to the bathroom, don't worry though, mummy will sort it out in the morning for her special little soldier. :wink:


You're still a man and I'm not? :lol:

So does that mean you think I was once a man but amen't now #-o

So what's this 'participating in competitive sports' then?

A game of dominoes while swigging back the pints?

Or perhaps something more energetic like darts? :lol:

Or playing 'Angry Birds' on your games console? :oops:

I love it when you get all superior and patronising. Which is most of the time :wink:

Gosh, Doom and Blackpool were right enough. =D>

I did get it wrong - I thought £35k maximum in the last year or two :oops: :D

Rentals must be holding up better than I thought as well \:D/
