Hi sussex
This is very helpful indeed. I hope that you might consider being one of the anonymous interviewees for my research study.

Can you travel from Planet to Planet

Thanks to everyone who has provided information so far. I wonder if you all might be prepared to complete a one page tick box questionnaire in Jan 2013 (when the research begins). All questionnaires will be anonymous of course. This is in addition to me interviewing those who volunteer. The questionnaire allows me to reach more of you than the interviews and would contain around 15 short questions to capture a broad overview of your concerns. The interviews would then build on the info I get from the questionnaires. Do you think you would have the time to complete such a thing (around 10 minutes)? Everything is fluid at this stage and I am considering everyone's comments in tweaking the project.
Many thanks
Sam

Makes plenty of sense.

I suspect admin on here will help make people aware of the survey.

And maybe the Captain will push it in his column in Taxi'talk'.

I'll do the tick box thing for you, I don't really want to be interviewed though because it's easy to get misquoted, interpretation is a powerful thing and sometimes a flaw.

Thanks Doom, thats brilliant. I would very much appreciate it if you could complete a questionnaire in the future.

p.s. no one should ever get misquoted in academic research as interviewees can have a copy of their interview, so can always refer back to what they said. Its all anonymous, of course, as well. We are obliged as academic researchers to adhere to the highest ethical standards in our profession. I hope that this reassures everyone as far as possible.

Thanks sussex, I very much hope so, and whoever the Captain is, I would be very grateful if you could push it. You can see that I am not very good with this forum thing cant you!

Sam suggest you contact the Private Hire and Courier magazine which has reams of history in this sort of thing they will also be able to put you in contact with organisations that will be able to assist you in this task let me thank you for undertaking it.

Hi trotskys twin
Thank-you very much. This information is invaluable. I will get in touch with the Private Hire and Courier magazine asap.

I remember that there used to be a poster on here... he was a GMB London rep, I met him a couple of times, I think his name was Don... he died a couple of years ago... he was collecting reams of information on this subject.... but what he collected might still be there..... perhaps someone could point you in the right direction. sussex

I think Don was collecting stats on attacks on licensed taxi/PH drivers, alas when he sadly passed away we also lost all those stats.

I believe attempts were made, but it was a very delicate time.

However I'm certain the OP will have no trouble in his research if he contacts the trade mags, including the courier and PHM, and uses the google site search for TDO, which will give him nearly 9 years of posts, which no-doubt will lead to 100s and 100s of really sad threads.
