Edinburgh has real high quality controls to prevent low quality individuals entering the trade but it is not fool proof, you and Jizzy B are testament to that.

That's the two fanny$ posted now Fedupdundee that Artur was telling you about, Dull Skull and Blabber Jasbar.

Sorry have I woken you Fedupdundee?

Elaborate on quality controls.....


A stringent topographical knowledge test coupled with an advanced driving test and anything else you might want to add... :-|

You could make it as difficult and as costly as you like. At the end of the day, a taxi doesn't drive itself. You only need to control the quality of individual gaining entry into your trade to restrict taxi numbers.

The value should be in the brief and not the plate.

You could always come down the way to the Borders, :D

You moan about a nanny state and unfettered access to the tools of the trade but you want to put more nanny state controls in place. Still I'm in if it keeps undesirables like yourself and Jizzy out the trade.

I see you've still not purchased that sat nav......

Edinburgh has a topo test a monkey could pass, and you are living proof of that Kaiser. I'm talking about real quality controls that would also apply to PH. #-o

They are talking, shi8. They are the only two feckwits in Edinburgh, who don't seem to know or can't accept that I told the council and the Cab Inspector what the could do with my licence. #-o

The letters were posted on this forum, and I even invited them to meet me up at the city chambers to provide them with the evidence. Needless to say, they declined my offer. #-o

Edinburgh, isn't that much better to Dundee when it comes to earnings.

They game is fu*ked. :roll:

Honestly, the game is now for low quality individuals who have little respect for themselves or their colleagues.
It's a trade full of society's rats.

I merely come on here to treat them with the contempt they deserve, and I enjoy doing it.
:badgrin:

Here's my letter to the council, just in case you missed it: :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

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

Skull you love all this. Ah good times.

Don't listen to him fedup he's just a pessimist by nature. You know what they say a change is as good as a rest.

Have a think about it. And as Skull pointed out its easy to pass the test and none of that derestriction malarkey here.
