Taxi Driver Online

11 As you can see we , we have to compete with the biggest private hire fleet in the country, but we're still here,

Err, no, you have a monopoly on the ranks, private hire can't ply for hire and you operate a cartel with your councillors to keep others out of the market, that's hardly what I would call competing.

Anyway, I don't doubt that there are some meritorious aspects to licensing in Sefton, but what I was alluding to with the term 'medieval' was the system that allows you to sit on your backside drinking Auchentogle triple malt or whatever while your council facilitates this by forcing your drivers to line your pockets. Or should I say your serfs?

Sums up your manor to a tee.

Your council is charging the PH trade for something that has f*** all to do with them. Exactly where in sec 16 does it mentions PH demand?

Taxi SUD surveys are exactly that, surveys into taxi demand. And your council expect the PH trade to dip into their pockets to subsidise taxi quotas.

Confirmation if any was required that those representing real drivers, not the pretend ones like you, are indeed a shower of s***.

SUSSEX..Just because someone does not agree with you does not mean that they are a shower of s**t, and just because we in Sefton work in a democracy does not meen we are a shower of s**t it just means that you need to keep taking the pills and make a new appointment with your doc,.....if I was you I would tell him about your nose ..mrT

How many cars has this outfit got,?



Someone may well challenge that five year survey eventually, if indeed it is five years.



What private hire members might that be then? Let me guess, you haven't a clue?

This outfit better hope sefton don't lift numbers or they will be right in the chit. You might find the owners who are pressently driving for Delta may get hackney licenses and set up their own radio circuit then tell Delta to go stuff their radio. What's Delta going to do with no drivers?

A private hire firm is only as good as the drivers who keep it afloat, you might do well remembering that.

My main issue is with national leadership (if you can call it that ), I don't doubt for a second there are many good folk doing their best at a local level.

As for democracy, how many of Sefton's voters voted for taxi quotas and plate premiums?

1........850 cars that's just them, 400 in the next one

So in your area your private hire sit on our ranks with your hackney, and in your area you do not have anyone that has more than one cab or hires out cab's???..where's your area again or is it still a secret mr T ....

Err, no, I was saying that PH can't sit on the ranks, and thus can't compete with you in that way - it was you who was claming they were competition.

As for multi-owners, again I didn't claim that there weren't any in unrestricted areas, but the point is the excess profits that you are making.

As for my location, Bournemouth, innit

I must admit 850 is a lot of cars. How many do you think are double tracked?

NOT a lot 100 ???
