Taxi Driver Online

No Les, it's off topic.

Cabn****r: a disparaging term used to describe a member of a socially, economically or politically deprived group.

As usual totally wrong.................http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j& ... 62Vg2rRruA

Nothing of any substance in our dictionaries.

I think Mr Taylor coined the term cab****er further back than 2011 but I'll give you that, its use in common parlance, may have started in India first.

However, Nigger is in nearly every worthwhile dictionary.

Anyhoo what should concern you is why Cab****er applies so readily to you? As a taxi driver are you not socially, economically or politically deprived?



Sounds like being socially, economically and politically deprived to me.

I'll make it simple for you.

You need to make the case as to why the term Cab****er in the context given above should not apply to taxi drivers?

So let's hear it????

Explain Socially

Economically I can earn based on the hours and the way I choose to work, I can earn more or less, my wage is not set

Politically I have a voice, how I decide to use my voice is a choice I make myself

So I don't get your definition of CN

Well compare yourself socially to other people in society, the nature or type of job you do, your rights, the hours you work, your earnings and standard of living, your quality of life etc...

Politically you have no voice within your trade and no rights to speak of when faced with an allegation from a member of the public. (Oh and spare me City Cabs and how Les and Co. represent your rights up at the council because it's a joke)

The council regulates your trade, they set your tariff, vehicle choice, driver standards and in turn, this is reflected in the hours you work to earn a living. In general the hours worked by your average taxi driver are astronomical. So economically you would be fu*ked if all you could work is 40 hours a week.

And do you have your own Cab****er paying you a stipend because he is denied his right of unfettered access to the tools of his trade? That's 3500 guys propping up pretendy businessmen like yourself Dougie?

Oh and let's just say a member of the public has made and allegation against you as a taxi driver. Tell me what rights you have when you are asked/forced to speak to said allegation?

Do the council only act on what is admitted or proven or can they just make it up as the go along?

It all spells Cab****er to me.

That's how you see it but most don't, your view though doesn't justify the usage of the CN word, the N word is associated with a certain colour of Skin, nothing to do with social, economics and political, the trade is a self employed trade, we choose to work in our trade and just like any other form of self employment, why single out Cabbies when using the N word, We know the regulations when entering the Trade Gary, the Trade is a and should be a regulated one, would you prefer pricing to be De-regulated, leading to punters being ripped off, Would you prefer freedom to deal with the public as you see fit, would you prefer our trade to act un-accountable and without professionalism, We all know if you keep yourself out of trouble you'll be fine, as far as a voice is concerned most don't care about the politics

Btw The trade provides me with an excellent quality of life, having freedom to choose is priceless

Exactly.

I ran pubs/clubs (social) for 26 years. If I (to coin a phrase) had my time over again, and it was a case of pubs/clubs or taxis I would unquestionably choose taxis.

The trouble is that those who have failed to make it in the taxi game, tend to generalise due to their own perceived superiority, believing that because they failed.....then everyone else has also failed, obviously not true.

Me..I work two 12 hour shifts (sometimes) the money is fine most of the time, I claim nothing from the state = happy days.

Oh by the way the disgusting "CN" slang allowed on this forum originates from India.

Tbh I could not afford my lifestyle on dog walking rates.....just not enough.

Dougie only a Cab****er would write the way you do. It's just a chaotic ramble with no substance whatsoever. You might as well stick your fingers in your ears and go “nah- nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah"

Sorry Chicken George but I cannot communicate with someone as ignorant as yourself. I think you have a good heart but you come across as the trade fool.

I think your time would be better spent "sorting the chaff out from the weed a saying that applies very much to people."


None of the above makes any case against the term Cab****er and how it applies to your trade.

Oh and "those who have failed to make it in the taxi game" are words spoken by a true Cab****er as successful people or anyone in their right mind would not drive a taxis for a living by choice.

There are some people who just bring a whole new meaning to the word "Stupidity"

I agree...

You do realise that you are supposed to be making a case against the use of the word Cab****er and why it should not apply to your trade?

To be honest, so far I get the feeling you agree with me.

Actually this is not so much off topic, as irrelevant. When you consider the term Cabn****r used in context to describe a member of a socially, economically or politically deprived group.
