On the contrary, our argument concerning restriction or de-restriction not working with Ph expanding to meet demand, and the taxi trade losing its market share to its competitors is a proven fact, because you are living it, the airport contract falling into the hands of ECPH, being a case in point.

I'm not making any of this up. Your trade is fu*ked. How long do you think your average taxi "owner" would last without his driver?

And why should anyone paying in the region of £300 a week to drive a taxi, be denied access to his own vehicle?

Come on now Artur, it's time to wake the fu*k up, don't you think?

Oh and Artur, you only need to look at Job's totals over the last ten or so years to understand where your trade is going. I could do over fifty jobs on a Saturday night and nearly thirty jobs on any week night. Your competition has grown up around your trade, and now you are playing second fiddle to Ph.

And you watch this. It's only a matter of time before they are in the greenways and on your ranks.

And Artur, perhaps you could explain how in 2005, Jacob's consultancy carried out a survey in a Gold Rush City, Edinburgh was bursting out at the seams and one of the busiest Cities in Europe at the time, and couldn’t find any demand?

However, in 2009, Halcrow in the middle of an economic meltdown came up with a demand for 30 plates?

These are what I call, inconvenient truths.


Skull I do enjoy the banter. You however need to wake up and move on. You're out the game and you should show more class.
The game as hssc points out has been [edited by admin] for as long as I've been driving.
I won't lie Skull having the airport has brought back the good times. The job totals and money you quote you were making years ago are not that far off what I'm earning since acquiring the airport contract.

I do giggle at your constant belief ECPH have somehow through their business acumen got to this perceived position of strength. City and Central should have had their own PH fleet or should have bought out ECPH. The only reason they are there is the airport wanted saloon cars. Now you and the others can display your paranoia that dirty deals were done but I don't believe that.

Why are you mentioning a 2005 survey??? Surely that was bogus too?? :roll:

Anyone who claims to be doing over three jobs an hour for eight hours on average during the week over the quietest months of the year is a fu*king moron. That’s at the very least, one job every 20 minutes.

Oh and Friday and Saturday night works out to over four jobs an hour, for 10 hours. That’s more than one job every 15 minutes.

What a load of absolute shi*e! Alex needs to bar you guys from the forum for your crass stupidity. As you contribute absolutely nothing to sensible debate. :-|

Oh and any points you think you are making are really not worth replying to and better ignored.

From this day forwards, I'm just going to copy and paste any posts I make to the front of thread, until such time as someone wants to debate an issue on a point by point basis without making infantile stupid comments. :-|

even by your normal standards skull that last rant confirms you really are delusional.
You will only debate with people on your conditions?????
You are a silly ineffectual person skull but if thats how infintile you want to be then so be it. For every post that you make as you described above, I will post one reminding you how silly you are
Let the fun begin.
There might be a few delays as I can only post when I am ranked which is much less now that the airport is bouncing........

You're more far gone than I thought Skull. You're in the throes of NPD quite badly.

Job totals??? Believe them if you want but they're paying for a lovely holiday to Australia for the Artur and molshy clan this Sept.

I have one question for you......how many dogs you reckon you'll be able to [edited by admin] off in one day?

If it's been passed by your council, I suspect it is too late to challenge it.

You could always do a skippy and discount the increase. You don't have to charge it.

hssc, I feel I've got to ask, do you actually believe your own shi*e? Over three jobs an hour average on a week night and over four jobs an hour on a Friday and Saturday night. What a fecking ar*hole!! #-o #-o #-o #-o

Honestly, hssc, are you delusional? :badgrin: :badgrin: :badgrin: :badgrin: :badgrin: :badgrin:

How did Halcrow miss all of this demand? :badgrin: :badgrin: :badgrin: :badgrin: :badgrin: :badgrin:

@skull

just because you dont believe me, which is your right, why cant you just say so??
I actually think a little of what you say is reasonable but when you resort to abuse like you did in the last post you lose any credability you have on here
Sad man.

sorry not been posting for a few hours but that airport rank just never stops :D
Now what is your latest attempt at being clever all about you silly silly man.
If you are trying to be clever then can I suggest you need to try a lot harder. We know you can copy and paste. We know you can highlight text but the problem is that your content is so poor I dont know why you bother.
Next time go to settings and press delete profile and give us all a break you silly silly man.
Got to go another £20 fare into town......
