However lowly you regard your former associates, they are still essential to uber if they are to remain within the law as it currently stands. An inconvenient fact in your pursuit of the Edinburgh trade, but still a fact.
Not much of a skill I know, but still not something that just anyone can do.

On the contrary, anyone can drive a taxi/ph but only an idiot would want to and being a license idiot is neither here nor there. #-o

:lol:

Not quite anyone.
Around here you do need to have some knowledge of the locality, even as a PH driver.
A UK driving licence is a must too.
Being a selfish, miserable git isn't essential but it's pretty common :lol:
And they do require a licensed vehicle to drive.

BTW Technology can replace anyone sooner or later, no matter what their skill set.

You've already been replaced. You just haven't noticed yet :badgrin:

Touche. How do you expect one to understand people, in that case?
In my experience animals are far less trouble. :D

Skull we are not fighting technology, we are embracing technology but technology that benefits driver and punter, we are highlighting the strategy used by Uber which is not to the benefit of driver and punter :wink:

You are though fighting the Trade in Edinburgh, what was that word again :lol:
