Taxi Driver Online

You make some strong statements. At the risk of being accused of bullying could you perhaps consider putting your name to them. I think it is only fair.*

*Fair meaning to treat people equally without favouritism or discrimination.

Oh aye Les, the real taxi driver is going to give you his name?

Perhaps Les, you should concentrate more on the truth of his statement rather than looking to silence his opinion?

Call me old fashioned but I just like to know who I am talking to. Especially when they are unfairly accusing me.
Thought it may be a bit of a long shot.

I will leave you to it Gary. I have no interest In taking part in your usual bitterness.
You should really try and learn to let it go.

Many if us had hoped your new dog walking career would have helped you.

Les, you are confusing bitterness with the contempt I feel for parasites like you and your chums feeding off the working man. Oh and the opinion I give is simply for my own amusement. I enjoy seeing you squirm.

It's not like your motivation is hard to work out Les.

The reason I will not reveal my name , is because others who complain about your methods are being bullied . And yes I wish he would leave the building Skull , judging by previous posts on here and on the company forum it is he who is bitter and can't let go .

City Cabs and CRT should have merged years ago with professional people brought in to run a new company free from committee interference. One company with approximately 1000 cabs, a call centre and a single app technology just waiting to give the big boys a run for their money. Oh and no buying the work through the hiking of radio dues or paying committeemen big salaries to punish drivers or to sit in an office and drink coffee.

I think the truth is, these small minded greedy individuals have brought your trade to its knees but saying that, you only get what you deserve.

*forum. Meaning a meeting or medium where ideas and views on a particular issue can be exchanged!

What possible difference could the identity of the originator make to the idea or the view?

There are no 'people' on a forum only the expression of views and ideas.

To enquire I suggest is surely an indication of intent to treat the expressed view unfairly.

Are you here to debate and exchange views or not?

Les is here fighting fire because now they are being found out for putting their own interests before that of their members. Oh and CRT are no different....

This site never ceases to disappoint.

So much energy wasted on negativity.

As to the basic principle of putting your name to what you say then I am happy for others to draw their own conclusions as to why some prefer not to.

Les, I agree with putting your name against what you say, under normal circumstances but in the real taxi driver's (TRTD) case, he is placing himself at a disadvantage because you and your chums cannot be trusted to act honourably. Oh and I am sure you would be doing exactly the same thing, if you were in his position.

So why not stick to challenging the content of his opinion instead of trying to dig him out?

Well I can say you are definitely wrong on that one. I would not behave in the same way. If I had a problem, during my 35 years as a member, with any part of City Cabs or any Committee member I would conduct my business in a totally different manner that appearing on a Forum making anonymous accusations.

City Cabs has its Rules Bylaws and Articles of Association. It is an Association run by the members and for the members. It was established in 1925 and has a long and honourable history. If any member is disgruntled with any individual or individuals there are a few options that he can take to challenge any persons perceived wrong doing whether this person is a committee member or not.

Just why anyone would select to go down this preferred road on this site is for this individual to know.
I would respectfully suggest that there are probably other reasons why this anonymous contributor wishes to keep his identity hidden and the fear of intimidation is not true because I know that intimidation and/or bullying does not form any part of City Cabs.

It has been my experience throughout the years that some members and drivers use these methods as a cop out. I can guarantee you this that the reason I am interested in the identity of this anonymous person is to establish the real and honest motivations behind his accusations. But I have come to realise that "honesty" is something that is in short supply when it comes to taxi forums hence the need for "made up names" to hide behind.

It is just a pity that these forums cannot be utilised in a more positive fashion rather being hijacked by those who seek to do nothing but harm our trade.

I will not name names or victor numbers but I can assure you that what I have written is true , you yourself use the forums for your own benefit by making accusations against others , also the PDA system to bully and intimidate an example of this happened a year ago ,when you used your position and the news letter to harass a member who sent every member a letter of your activities , rightly or wrongly the member exposed the hidden secrets that go on behind members backs . Now the latest one on the PDA is of idle gossip ( which you have used before regarding the letter ) a casual conversation turn into a vendetta against two members , making accusations is second nature to you is it not and you used the word honesty that beggars believe coming from you , like I said you like to make out your the victim , but it is we in the cab trade who are victims by your pursuit of cutting our earning potential .
