Taxi Driver Online

OK, so what you're saying is that I'm a driver of taxis but not a taxi driver, but you're not a driver of taxis but you are a taxi driver, and when I stop being a driver of taxis then I won't be a taxi driver.

And this is because you treat being a taxi driver as some sort of spiritual experience that I'll never know about, but you have and always will.

This sounds to me a bit like Calvin's doctrine of predestination, so tell me, what makes you have taxi driving in the blood, but means that I'll never attain this

that is not what i said

I am not saying you never will I was asking if you have

I don't know what happened to this post but Mr T seems to have edited the life out of it. Anyway somewhere in here is a reference from Mr T that I under estimated some figures.

I have to point out that the figures I used were attributed to Knowsley and here is what I said.

"A night collar in Knowsley on a TX1 can be had for 150.00. In Liverpool they can be had for 200.00. Maybe Mr. T can advise us what the going rate is in Sefton?"

Those figures were extracted from Knowsley Hackney carriage drivers. I applied those figures to Mr T because I didn't have any relevant figures for Sefton. But I can get them if need be lol

In Manchester we charge anything from 190 to 240/250 for a night track and anything up to 180/190 for a day track.

I Can see Sefton being on a par with Knowsley but certainly not Liverpool or Manchester.

I'm not sure why he edited it, he just said that you had underestimated the figures.

Well you'll have to explain it to me Mr T, what exactly is your theory on the spiritual side of being a taxi driver

Mr T i think you have been, at the bottle again . How many of your drivers are getting tax credit, how many of them are working on the side, who is realy paying your wages, the driver or the tax payer . You in Sefton created this P H monster , they are killing us in Liverpool . YOU LET IT HAPPEN . YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE ! HOLD YOUR HEAD IN SHAME . Your mate in Liverpool who makes 1000 a week , working 8 am-5 pm or what ever . He is talking crap, or he has got a night man . He might have, untill the advent of the mobile phone and the Sefton private hire killing machine .

Sefton private hire recently, applied to the council ,to be allowed to have adverts on the side of their cars . They of course were given that approval .Why they want adverts , i dont know , probable just to, prove that they could take the pi... . How long before there, picking up in the streets ? . Where were you? down the town hall fighting it , i dout it. I think you have become a victim of this , just as much as me . You are probably a honest hard working man and worked hard, for what you have got . You must see that restricting hackney, numbers does not work . Not now . You in sefton , i am afraid have lost war . best wishes streetcar .

ph increase with cab restrictions.
all drivers seem to care about is the price of there plates.
the fact that they are losing work hand over fist to ph doesnt register with the thickos.

WAR what war??????????mr T...

Spiritual no although the thought of haunting sertain members has it's attraction.
I chose to drive a taxi. I choose to still own taxi's,
I feel that you are just passing through and when you find a proper job you will be gone ,but people like me will have to pick up the pieces," we always do". mr T......

Streetcar..As far as I know all of my drivers are legal , some have been with me for over 10 years , but I will not say I know the ins and outs of everything they do , and the only time I have had dealings with the dole was over a city driver?not from your side though, is the holy land still there?
you confuse me you say that city plates should be free that it is your right ,to be able to work ,and then you say that the sefton private hire should not work the city ,so what you are saying is that the people of L,pool must only use L,pool taxis and pay L,pool prices, it would seem to me that you are not averse to makeing people do what you want,
what ever happened to a persons right of choice .
people ring sefton private hire because they are professional in what they do provide a quick and reasonably priced service.
Advertising on p/h cars I did not know that the public hire had the sole right to this concession I could have sworn I have seen advertising on buses and vans and car's,
the city is over pricing itself out of the market,that is not anything to do with me I will say this that city plates are over priced, that the settle you pay is over priced, if you as drivers disagree with the price you pay then dont drive the cab ,I can assure you I wouldn't. p. s. my mate who has his own city cab would not lie to me after all "he is a city driver"..........mr T.

What do you mean by passing through? Given your comments elsewhere, I've been a driver for longer than most of your's.

And any taxi owner that I've ever know has had no problem taking on people who are just 'passing through', as long as it lines their pockets.

As for your picking up the pieces, no, that's what we're trying to do

For a change I agree with Mr T - if his mate is doing a doubler on both Friday and Saturday then surely he'll make well over half a grand on these two days alone.

But of course streetcar has to line others' pockets for the privilige of working, but a level playing field woud never do, would it
