You mean that cartoon thing that was there a while ago?

On the contrary, you should know it's about par for the course.

And do you think there's someone sitting waiting to moderate any iffy posts 24/7?

Mr LU edited his post at 00:43, just a few minutes before your own post. The cartoon wasn't there originally or I might have mentioned it in my post.

But as I keep on saying, moderation is not my responsibility.

Anway, the graphic seems to have disappeared now. I certainly can't see it.


I will send it to Dusty... lol ... I think you are PH and a nasty little GRASS at that !

Obviously you are involved politically or you wouldn't have contacted TfL. I'm sure you didn't write to them out of curiosity , so
could you post a copy of the said reply from TfL to confirm these figures ? Let me guess, you have deleted the email :roll:

Don't be so silly.

You don't have to be political to ask TfL questions, just a tad nosey.

From my experience of asking TfL questions I find them to be very helpful.

Is it fair to sum up that Mr LU hasn't got a f***ing clue about taxi licensing laws, and is happy to let the rubbish spoken on ranks to be viewed as an accurate definition of the law? :?

And he is too scared to ask TfL for the number of London licensed private hire vehicles? :lol:

I would say he lowers the tone of TDO, just because some of us don't agree with him, he has to be obscene, now I may not agree with you or your man dusty, but I don't cross the line, he has and personally I think he should be banned...

So the protagonists turn into conspirators. Ironic that a collection of mini-cab drivers posting on a "Taxi Driver Online UK cab trade debate" , with the exception of" Captain Clod" should be asking for one of the few Licensed Cab drivers posting to banned from the forum. Non of you are taxi drivers.. Except Captain Clod !

Talk about sour grapes. To be quite honest I couldn't give a toss !

I've had you lot on the ropes and on the and on the ground so many times you are all punch drunk. As for "Captain Clod" he will be appearing with the cartoon along with his real identity very soon on a web site you are already familiar with. The London Taxi trade, will have a field day with this !

Secondly, I wouldn't like to be in Captain Clods shoes when Alan Fleming finds out what he has been maligning him with on TDO.
Thirdly, Messrs Osborne and Crothers have newspaper. I'm sure they will have something to say about "Captain Clod" offering to speak to TfL and have their licenses revoked !

Plying for hire in a public place is established case law, anything other than a hackney carriage such as a private hire vehicle has to be pre booked through a licensed operator. Any vehicle accompanied by a driver other than a hackney carriage, found exhibiting itself to the public with the intention it can be hired could be breaking the law. Any persons accompanying vehicles that have formed a taxi rank in public view for the purpose of hire are committing an offense.

See that's the difference we have been trying to get over to the London chap, the word could.



It all depends on the circumstances at the time, and once again I say a PH chap parked up on the high street doesn't mean he is plying.


Your right i know F A about taxi licensing i only posted this story because .
1 I can not find the development on the councils planning explorer .
2 I never saw this advertised in the press.
3 The people they asked for comments never replied.
4 There were just a hand full of objectors, odd because i would there would loads.
5 I can't find any body who knows anything about it .

I was thinking, if i posted this story it might attract the attention, of some one who would investigate it .

I did not realized it would be used, as a vehicle for people to abuse each other.
