Clearly restricted taxi numbers councils don't give out vehicle licenses, but often those councils give out confetti amounts of drivers licenses, which makes no sense unless you are an owner who doesn't like work.

Rossendale - Northumberland - Gedling

Ah well you can cross mine off the list then. But you can add Rutland, particularly if you work in Aylesbury or Manchester. :wink:

Why not? The eastern Europeans pass the test without previously setting foot in the country.

I have a chap who lives in Rochdale at the moment who is wanting to move here later this year. He is studying maps of the area so that he can take the local knowledge test when the time comes. He won't have anyone taking the test for him.
