Well here we go the annual your not getting a fare rise meetings are to be held in different locations across the borders today,
chaired by Timothy Stevens, some of you might know from the Doncaster Leeds area, from the past.
The council use a formula that you need a higher degree in algebra to work out,they are claiming that the cost of operating a taxi has actually fallen by so many percent.

well I'm sure someone as diligent and prepared as yourself skippy will have figures to show just how much insurance has gone up as well as council fees, garage charges (hourly rate) tyres of course with the price of rubber at record levels not to mention that although diesel prices have been very reasonable of late they are starting to creep upwards :wink:

None of us have a clue, but it always goes down instead of up

You are having a laugh aren't you? Skippy is always banging on about how cheap his insurance is. Not forgetting that he discounts the Council agreed fares anyway.
