I can't believe for a second any of this would help, and not make them look a laughing stock. :-$

Another minicab driver claiming to have an interest in the 'trade'.

Don't worry about it, this was a protest about the Licensed Taxi trade, nothing to do with minicab's, 500 drivers took the time to protest at the PCO over several implemented and other impending issues.

As for the laughing stock of London, well we all which side of the trade enjoy's that reputation, eh?

Ask any female travellers.

Still living on past glories that never were GBC? :?

Haven't you worked out that the PCO don't give dam about the cab trade?

It's our turn now, proper vehicles driven by proper drivers.

If your lot gave as good a service as LPH do, then we wouldn't exist.

I look forward to taking more of your work. :wink:

I'm not sure they are on the dole.

But maybe they should tout a bit to earn more, have you got any good tips?

Yes plenty.
always park the vehicles on council estates in tottenham.
always insure with disreputable firms which is what many do anyway.
always try to use unlicensed drivers.
always but always use JDs legal advice.

1. We make the PCO give a damn.

2. I'm happy you have 'proper' Nigerian drivers who have that whiff of stale sweat around them, shame the travelling public don't share your views.

3. I, and many heads of buisness think the licensed Taxi trade suply a wonderful service, you see professional life-time career drivers in the licensed taxi trade will always win over 'in between jobs' career people like yourselves.

4. If you have so much work why do you and your colleagues feel it a requirement to commit arrestable offences by touting every Friday and Saturday night? Quiet on the minicab cicuits?

5. Your clearly a t***.

6. I drive plate 11237, feel free to stop and chat. :?:

I would love to meet up with you, but I don't want my Merc catching rust from your motor. :lol:

As for quality of driver, well the only difference between you and me is that you took a memory test many years ago.

Nowadays we use Sat Nav. :wink:

I guess you have to, English roadsigns can be hard to understand.

It must be okay around the Brick Lane area though?

Still I hope the lary drunks don't throw up in your mincab, bet that's expensive to clean, even for the little people.

Keep an eye out at London Bridge over the next few weeks, something might catch your eye! :lol:

Keep trying, respectability will come in a few years, you will probably be a real Taxi driver by then. :wink:

They are definitely getting too big for their boots. :shock:

Which is all the more surprising that the black cab circuits love working with them. Officially and un-officially. :-$
