Taxi Driver Online

Very enlightening but how does that help the Taxi owners of Cardiff? Who still remain owners but don't have anything to show for the money they might have spent on a piece of paper. Whereas buying any other business as you put it, would in most cases result in that business retaining at least some of the value it was purchased for?

Hardly a good comparison to make in today's present climate.

The only reason I do it is just to p*** off folk like you.

Well you must know some well iffy folk, cos everyone that I know that has got a plate for nothing, doesn't mind one bit if others get the same treatment.

In other words they are not a Mr Royden, and if you don't know who he is just go to google and type greedy c**t.

I often wonder how 70% of the country manages without quotas.

Perhaps they do by concentrating on customer service, as opposed to concentrating on the preservation of the plate value.

Why not give it a try?

So you now want a quota for posts, and is that the best you can do?

got my plate for nothing and I dont begrudge any other licensed driver the same rights.
make standards higher is the answer.
then we are all the same.
yes even you.

You will never p*** off me, you are too insignificant to register on my radar. You are the dog turd on the pavement, unpleasant, a nuisance, but hey everyone likes a dog so who cares about the small crap.
Have nice life.

People often pay for "good will" on a business only to find some a new road or new outlet wipes out the good will. Nothing is certain in business if were that easy everyone would be in business and there would be no workers. Its tough for the guys in Cardiff and for anyone who loses on an investment, but can we all be winners ? They must adapt to the changes to survive, unfortunatley the taxi trade is being destroyed from within, most of the misfortune is of our own making. Through apathy, ignorance, greed you name its there eating away until all that left is the crap. I have been a driver for over 25 years its been doom and gloom from the day I started, I have never met an optomistic taxi driver, no-one wants to be a taxi driver its what people end up doing. Miserey is the only comfort. Why do we all do it. Where are the hordes returning their plates if it that bad. Why do people pay good money for a plate, we must be the best salespeople in the world, thousands for a piece of paper that everyone says will be worthless very soon. We may be in the gutter but some of us are looking at stars, and likley to get hit by a bus.

So you still want limits but by another means ?

Why not set a minimum of 6 A levels ? No that would not work everyone gets those.
How about only expensive overpriced vehicles, then instead of a retiring taxi driver getting the money after years of service, it will go to a nice salesman at a showroom !

So you mention me by name in your first few posts.

As for comparing me with dog turd, and not registering on your radar, well you best be careful when walking in the park.

Still it nice to know that's the best the dino's can post, I mean you wouldn't want the truth to get in your way would you?

Good will.!!!:lol:

Since when has good will got anything to do with plate values?

Do yourself a favour T, and have a read of the Royden case. Then you might be able to get at least the odd fact right.

It was all of their (or one persons) own doing.

Some bloke had 50 plates, yet also wanted all of the extra plates following a SUD survey.

And pillocks like you support that.

Acting to type it would appear here.

Want to keep taxi quotas, but want as many s*** drivers to drive them, and don't like the idea of running decent motors.

Somethings just never change.
