What are you going on about??

It's ok Skull ill get my Auntie to dig out the file, it's easy to find, on the front in big red letters is the word REVOKED

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

It's called sucking the Cab Inspectors dick, you know. Someone makes a complaint about your conduct, and this is what you do, to keep your licence.

Yes you would have thought the way Skull goes on he would have had the balls to face the council.

All talk, no action.....

Have you any idea how many times I've faced the council over twenty years? I was even asked to leave a meeting after giving Cllrs Mowat and Keir a piece of my mind.


The fact is, I'm not as cowardly as you three scumbags, and you just can't handle it?

Why were you up in front of the council on so many occasions?
Can't you act like a responsible member of society?

In all this Skull it sounds like you just need to grow up.

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.

Actually, upon rereading my letter, it says it all. I know what's wrong with you three, you need to pay attention to the words.

Yeah I get it

You told them to stick your licence up their arse and you were declining the opportunity to renew it. Your conduct hearing appeared before the renewal date, effectively you still had a licence even though it was suspended and when you don't show for the hearing, and probably for YOUR disregard for their protocols, they revoked said licence, the licence you still held (even though suspended from operating)
