In the records of Edinburgh City council licensing department it will record your brief as having been revoked?


How many times do you have to be told my licence was never revoked?

Artur, do you have tourette syndrome?

So it's still active? Or REVOKED?

My letter to the council:

May I thank you for the opportunity of renewing my Taxi driver's licence. However, I feel I must decline your most generous offer. To me at least, the prospect of working under the control of Trampton City Council is totally inconceivable. In fact, I would rather be dangled by my testicles over a pool of man eating piranhas, then seen to be humbling myself in some vain attempt to renew my licence.

Collectively, the Council Regulatory Committee (RC) and Cab Inspector Frank Smith of Lothian & Borders Police have shown by their actions to have no regard whatsoever for the rights of the individual. In fact, given the opportunity, would not hesitate to abuse their privileged positions, in an attempt to beat people down. Which is proven to be somewhat typical of how Trampton Council conducts itself when dealing with members of the public who question their authority.

With regard to myself, I think you were under the misapprehension I cared about driving taxis for a living and the subsequent suspension of my taxi licence. Unfortunately, I had already resigned myself to leave the taxi trade either by my own volition or at your behest as a consequence of standing up for my rights against serial abuses. As it turns out it appears to be a combination of the two.

Prior to my licence being suspended, I refused to allow myself to be judged by such a bunch of scurrilous and contemptible individuals. And now upon renewal of my licence the situation remains the same, the mere thought of coming before councillors to plead for my licence makes me feel sick to the pit of my stomach. I could not entertain doing something so undignified.

Although, I am more than happy to appear before the RC, at a public meeting. Should any of you develop a backbone and wish to discuss my grievances of your conduct with a view of protecting the rights of the individual in the future.

I am sure by now you have some indication of what you can do with my plastic taxi driver identification badge, but in case you are left in any doubt. Think of it as a four cornered suppository, and stick it up your arse.





Regards, Garry Thomson

It sounds like there is a good chance it's been REVOKED!

You do realise they would have sat about with tea and biscuits laughing like fook at your letter which sounds like a teenage rant!

In America the FBI would profile you as a potential spree killer.

Definitely REVOKED Artur, I've seen the document. That letter was never sent to the cab office or the council. That was just written to show people so they would believe him. But in fact it was REVOKED.

Skull?

What was the date of your hearing that you didn't turn up to and what was the expiry date/renewal on your licence?

I can't remember the precise date of the hearing, but it was about four months after the hearing, they sent me the form for renewal of my licence.

Read the letter, it's all in there....... :-|

A new dawn has begun and for Central taxis the date of 15 April 2020 should be a significant date. This is the earliest they may ever set tyres on the airport rank again.

Pencil it in chaps and then get painting the city centre ranks.

A long time coming but boys it was worth it.

You're a liar Kaiser. And the letter was sent to everyone on the RC, committee and the Cab Inspector.

In fact, I am more than happy for you to write to the council for conformation. I will even sign your request, for the information?

Sorry Kaiser, unfortunately I could never bring myself to be a cowardly scumbag, like you. #-o #-o #-o :twisted:

So they asked you to come in but you said you weren't renewing your licence anyway. Your trying to get the first move in but with you not turning up to the hearing they revoke the licence and they get the upper hand


Why not go to the hearing, say your piece beforehand then walk out the door? Your all for transparency and face to face encounters, yet you never gave the councillors the opportunity to speak to you and what their thoughts of you, your actions an your demeanour
