Are you lot crazy discusing , what a taxi driver takes . That should be private . The tax man is not thick you know . Drivers should be greatful that we owners , let them drive our cabs. If they were not driving cabs they would be stacking shelves . or on the dole . Street car if things are so bad get another job. oh i for got theres not any ,never mined . Liverpool council, joanne and tommy doing sterling work . Liked there clamp down on pirates , keep it up.

See what i mean, you never answer a straight question . The joint trades , Tommy mclntyre t&g, in my opinion , he is miss guided and is not putting , the interests of the drivers first . Or he would not oppose delimiting . Joanne connolly massive , taxi fleet owner , need i say more. I dont know why you are so scared , they have fleet owners in Birmingham and London etc .


STREETCAR You said that you are t&g well if so, go and tell tommy mc take some mates and get them to join ,vote him out , vote you in ,take over L,pool,you have the power not me, call a strike, the only people who can drive a taxi are you the licence driver, and you are in short supply, can't you see it, bring them to their knees and make them pay,..LIVERPOOL today..MANCHESTER tomorrow.......mrT....

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 :?


MON 8-5 take 100-120
tue 8-5 " " "
wed 8-5 " " "
thur 8-5 " " "
fri L/C " 2pm-3am 260-300
sat L/C " 6pm -4am " "

but that is hard work......mr T...


Working a 12 - 14 hour shift every day of the week is hard work. Working 8 - 5 during the week and two nights at weekend is childs play.

With a few exceptions I bet most of the drivers on here work longer hours than that.

On average How many miles a week is this guy doing for the figures you presented?

JD



J.D.you must have done something right this week, you did. you made me laugh, I take it as a compliment when you think that I may be yorkie.

what I have said is as the third person, he may do an hour more here and there .I do not know and I will not be asking him what mileage he does ,but if it is your intention to start with the equations again then the area of probabilities must be established.


So you know the hours and amount of money he earns but you're shy about the mileage. Well perhaps you can tell us the average mileage for some of your vehicles seeing as you have nothing to hide? I guess you do log the mileage and don't disconnect the clock.

Even though the Inland Revenue works to a formula and each area has its own idiosyncrasies I've never known the formula to be as low as 1 in 3 and I bet neither has anyone else. Unless of course your name happens to be Nigel. I could always apply the Inland Revenue formula to the driver in Liverpool if your shy about giving his mileage?

I'll take your word that you don't know the mileage but I often wonder why you prevaricate when asked a pertinent question on a point you yourself instigated.

One final point, if you hadn't been caught out lending your nick to Yorkie on a previous occasion I might not have questioned your presence on TDO at 4 am. I'm not saying it wasn't you but considering your track record, I merely posed the question that it might not be you?

Mr T if only the world was so simple , I have four kids to suport i am afraid to admit, i am on tax credit . If i opened my mouth, i would be out of a job . As you can see from my posts, i am not that bright , taxi driving is all i know . My kids would suffer . Tommy i am afraid , has sat around the table with fleet owners so long, he has become a parasite, derived from the word par-a- sit one who habitually ate at the table of another repaying him with flattery . a hanger on a toady .

STREETCAR... Do not put youself down, tax credit, at least you have managed to get something out of this government, I never have it's always been a one way st heading towards them. :wink:

I have stood alonside of tommy on a lot of issues , he does what his membership tell him to do,he has been in the game as long as me maybe longer,if his membership where to tell him to go for derestriction he would "I believe this"
the fleets have been pushing for a fair rise and he is saying no, it is not easy for him,you do not see what goes on,
I have no answers for you as what to do,I think that a new page will be turned, what will happen then I do not know,I do know that last time L'pool dereg , the drivers where the first to suffer,I know I was one .
I will try to explain something to you, gawith along time ago had 100 cab & plates,the plates were worth 1000 each, 25 years on they are worth 40,000 each, for 25 years he has made a living out of them,the PROFIT has already been made if his plates go they go,same with the rest of the fleets,the ones that will suffer will be the ordinary bloke that has put his house up against a loan to buy a cab and plate .
The only way for you to come out on top is to sit down and work out what you pay out, and then what hours you have to do to make it and a bit more, get a T.X.1 makes the job a bit easter you can work longer and not be knackered....good luck..mr T.. 8) 8)

220 for a t x 1 in sefton, a sefton driver can earn a 100 pounds a week less than a L,pool driver and still go home with more.


220 for a TX1 in Sefton? Is that what you charge? I assume thats for nights? What about days? and how much for a through track?

Its funny how you unwittingly support the facts contained in my database yet you supported the drivel published by waynne cassey at the time he wrote his nonsence in taxi talk?

Your principles leave a lot to be desired my friend, you have sunk so low that even the Rats have difficulty accepting your credibility.

He must be pretty thick if you think that posting figures up here is going to raise an eyebrow; presumably that's what you're thinking?

Perhaps, but if they want to run their own cab, why shouldn't they?

If you don't already know the Taxman has a formula, you tell him how many miles you have done and he will tell you exactly what you have earned to the nearest 500 pounds.

Its as simple as that.

So Mr T, your only reason for not delimiting in Liverpool , is because there may be owners, who have remorgaged there houses to buy a cab and plate . NOT that there is not any unmet demand, as we both agree 1000 sefton private hire vehicles work in Liverpool, there not parked up, but working . NOT that the drivers in Liverpool are not getting exploited , we no they are . NOT that the public are not getting ripped off , we both know they are . NOT that there are people useing plates in Liverpool , as an investment with no interest, in driving taxis , or serving the public . I see where you are coming from . Yours seems a very noble reason . I dont agree with you . Why dont people just say that, in the first place instead, of all the rubish about significant unmet demand , double shifting and the rest of the crap. Streetcar

Surely most of the current taxi plate-holders in Liverpool got their plates for f*** all when they lifted the restrictions. :?

And the ones that didn't have bought off those that have. So should we be rewarding the thick? :?
