CC ask TDOadministation if they have contacted any council, or passed information onto them under the name of TDO.

They have admitted to it on site, they have told you that under the name Taxi Driver Online they have sent out copies of M&R, and copies of the list of plate values in restricted areas.

They have NOT however either asked your permission nor have they sent out the information posted which questions either document.

They have sent this information on behalf of an organisation and therefore the members of it.

Nothing contained within this post is an asumption, its based on the facts presented by the administration of this site.

Their actions concern me greatly, I don't want anyone to be representing my views or anyone else's without permission. And it is because we don't know who is involved (at least publically) with the site I believe that everyone should carefully consider the content of any contribution they make to this site as it is, at best, unclear as to exactly what the administration will do with it.

Day 4 still no postal details Suspect.

I can't send you the evidence if you don't let me know where to send it.

Oh and I see that your stance for not answering my posts has continued, maybe by me still asking questions others are doing likewise.

I will only send you items which are directly copied and signed by me, that way if the argument ends up in court you are furnished with the correct and varified facts. It also stops you from telling lies on here and misquoting what other people have said.

Now send me the postal details and I will send you the evidence.

B. Lucky :twisted:

It's quite simple - TDO has contacted local authorities, MPs, govt bodies, the trade etc. with flyers and in a journalistic capacity. Clearly this has been obvious since day one of the site, and these people are twisting this into some kind of conspiracy to topple the world, and it's not clear why these people haven't mentioned this before, but it's presumably because they are getting desperate.

And in any contact with outsiders TDO has never claimed to represent forum contributors.

The solicitor nonsense is Fantasy Island stuff, and the failure to provide any evidence at all speaks volumes.

We don't want any 'evidence' sent to us because there is none, you just want our contact details for ulterior motives.

Your failure to provide any evidence speaks volumes.

By the way, there will be no litigation on our behalf, since the judge would just say ask why we didn't delete the defamatory posts?

Well the reason is because we wanted to show readers that your claims are wholly false, but the defamatory statements will be deleted in time.

So I would hurry up with your evidence.

I have always wondered what individual quality the TGWU looks for in a junior officer or Branch secretary? Take Mr Marchant for instance? Would you employ him for his brains or his stupidity? It is doubtful the TGWU would have employed him for his brains, so therefore they must have employed him for his stupidity.

You might consider the case in Gateshead. It might appear to some that the TGWU aren't too fussy about their choice of representative, I say that because they employed a character in Gateshead who would be better suited to the film industry rather than the Taxi trade. No his name is not Walter Mitty but he has a distinct likeness to that character.

The transport and General workers union representative in Gateshead likes to cross dress. He has tried on many personas in the past, which I'm sure his bosses at Transport house are well aware off. However that does not tell the true story of this individual.

The full story I'm quite sure will manifest itself before the "ides of March".

This site is in place to front an attempt by a "specialist" taxi solicitor to convince every council that he can give them advice, at a cost, that will increase their revenue and get them out of trouble with the DfT, even though they aren't in any trouble in the first place.

I believe that the claims made within this website are defamatory, some of the claims made within M&R are equally questionable.

If you don't believe me then take the matter further, this site is influenced by a solicitor who claims to be a specialist in TAXI matters, Nidge uncovered this parasite and was promptly banned.


Gateshead Angel wrote:
I'll tell you what this person has done Sussex, he has seen how much consultancy work is undertaken by a person with more trade knowledge but less qualifications and guessed how much he could make from that.
Then you add into the equation the "forming a policy which will withstand legal challenge" argument.

You see Sussex this bloke is telling councils that he will assist them in forming policies which will stop the need for court cases, claiming that his costs are lower than if the council had to defend either policy in court.


So the only evidence supplied thus far to support these various allegations is that TDO has been contacting LAs?

That should have been obvious to everyone from day 1 of the site, but almost a year and a half later you're using that fact to accuse the site of all sorts?

I pity you, I really do :sad:

So first you say that the site doesn't do something then you say it does.

Then they claim that when they send information out they do so using the name of the site HOWEVER they claim that they do not send out information on behalf of the members of this site.

So who exactly is the site claiming to be representing, or moreso where are they claiming they obtained the information contained within these documents they are sending out.

Captain Cab was right to be cynical of Myth and Reality, not because it was wrong but because it added little reality and offered only more myths. I say that because it is as equally bias as documents writted in support of quotas.

Unfortunatly the REALITY is quite different to ANYTHING written.

Some areas need more vehicles whereas other areas have adequate provision, each individual council have a duty to consider whats best for the people they represent and so MUST properly IDENTIFY EXACTLY WHAT IS REQUIRED THEN LOOK TO PROVIDE IT.

The mathematics are not difficult, people talk about prices and wish to see prices more competitive.
Well I can tell you this much, allowing an unlimited number of vehicles reduces takings, drivers who see their takings reducing look to make more money from each job therefore the fewer jobs they do the MORE they need from each job. If a driver can expect more of the share of work then less could be charged for each job.

I hope Sussex gets a plate, cause he won't last a week. Taxidrivers don't like people who [edited by admin] up their backs, and Sussex is the sort of bloke who will think he's being clever when he starts discounting off the rank. He can't hide behind his computer under an assumed name then, I know what happened to a bloke up here who tried it, not nice at all.

Myth and Reality offers an opposing viewpoint to that offered by the other "groups" NEITHER OF WHICH ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT ITS LIKE WORKING THE RANKS IN THIS COUNTRY.

Change the subject, why don't you?

As regards who TDO represents, I've tried to explain it to the best of my ability, but if you still think that third parties think that we represent the views of forum members then why do you keep on posting?

TDO has never claimed to represent forum members.

As regards the defamatory comments, you clearly don't have any specific evidence, since you won't post either names or any other information to substantiate your claims.

But I've certainly conluded that you THINK you have evidence of something, but what it amounts to I obviously can't tell without you offering some details.

So why don't you be a bit more specific, so readers can see what evidence you base your allegations on, and we can explain where you are going wrong, since your conclusions must be based more on speculation than proper evidence.

If you don't want to name this supposed solicitor or any LAs that he's contacted, then why don't you tell us in general terms what the nature of your evidence is?
