Um - am i being fick?

Knowledge test not every time ( a one off) at £72 included

Therfore badge would be £131.06 - £72.0 = £59.06

and they want to charge £78

my brain hurts............

Ive also just realised they included Application process (new) at £40

Initial contact @ £10 (the key word is INITIAL)

And (if you want to be really picky) why the £1.50 for a copy of the regs on subsequent renewals - youve already got them

I expect Im going to be shot down in flames for my comments ... just pished at what these buggers get away with

£170 for printing application forms, etc. they could buy FOUR printers for that!

Grandad,

So if a £20K a year LO walks into the office, does 8 hours graft (£76 worth), he covers his wages printing off a few forms, the rest is profit

Some one wants to get a new calculator or be shown how to do division as their £s charge does not equate to the time factor.

Also it is for the want of a better word illegal for a Licensing Authority to make a profit from the fees and charges for Taxi and Private Hire licensing.

At least Dick Turpin had the decency to wear a mask

most authorities post the badge out and ours it takes 10 minutes to process the forms in the council "shop" there is no subsequent contact clearly this is all made up and padded out to make it look as if they are making a loss

£2.00 for printer maintenance?????

Grandad,

Expensive printers, £2.00 maintenance for every badge printed off?

The printers will be used for other printing tasks so do those tasks also get hit with the £2.00 a go maintenance charge as well?
