I'm sure it hasn't been lost on the BBC that they stand to lose 8.9% of their income. :wink:

Agreed.

They will also lose a big chunk of their expenditure if that is the case. But I bet Scotland will still have the BBC and continue to pay for it in exactly the same way.

They don't spend anything like as much here as they get....

I feel I must draw everyone's attention to the inaccurate and false information I posted on this forum last week.

I said that Central (Poundland Taxis) through the efforts in particular of Tony (will someone please believe I'm Alan Sugar) Kenmuir had managed to secure the RBS contract for the next few years at a whopping 26% discount. I must apologise to everyone concerned as this is not the level of discount so skillfully negotiated by the bold boys, it is in fact 31%, yes a further 5%. The bold boys have surpassed themselves again. Not content with ramming the members with having to absorb 26% on each and every RBS fare the bold boys in their desperation to keep the account also agreed to swallow the 5% credit card fee that all RBS fares are moving to!

Outstanding boys what a class act you are. Do you not recognize that taxi drivers are on a working class wage and don't pick up committee (middle class) wages? Between all your poundland discounts for all your hard earned contracts you have put the members in for finding £700k a year, the members must be looking forward to asking you all next Sunday.

So all avid watchers I will try and only give you accurate facts over the next 7 days, hate having to say sorry (ho ho) a bit like the bold boy businessmen.

Until the next revelation.

P.S. Here's a thought for the Central airport drivers to take to their committee. If City Cabs (and they surely will) deliver a great airport service it will be 2021 before Central drivers ever get close to picking up the Irish again in the Six Nations, now that's a result.

I just went over the monthly CRT statement detailing the dues and eye watering discount given. For the last month I find the total monthly discount that has been levied on top of the fixed dues to be £149, yes £149 to be paid by the fleet of 445 (minus everyone who has and will jump ship) sheep. This staggering amount which will only get more each month, remember the 5% RBS card tax, means CRT have to find £759, 000 per year, truly a staggering amount in this financial climate.

But that's not all, not only does the Chairman Kevin (MVF) Wood have to balance the books with a fleet of 445 cars he and the bold boys Tony (i'm the brains) Kenmuir and Murray (I still get away with it) Fleming are now buying back memberships at £5k. Yes buying back and the guys getting £5k are joining City. So everytime one leaves the discount goes up and the company doesn't take in any monthly radio dues. MVF you are clearly showing the business acumen your spell as a take away assistant gave you is reaping dividends. Goodness only knows what you have over the Company Secretary that allows him to go along with this self destruction?

P.S. What odds that John (ephc driver) Galloway currently the advisor to the bold boys on several fronts ends up with an appearance at 11 Parliament Square? Remember only facts fae Boab!

The bold boys and Tony (it's all a dream) Kenmuir had until yesterday which was 21 days since the writ was served to respond and nothing has been received I believe. That means a date will be set for them to appear, it's only getting better and better.

BTW Skull it would appear that John Galloway will be up alongside them, unfortunately I can't give you the reasons why (just yet) but trust me he's in the frame.

The court of session is not for the fainthearted. I bet their wee arses will be twitching like a rabbit's nose.

It's only a pity you won't be able to get it on DVD. :badgrin: :badgrin: :badgrin: :badgrin:
