My point is that someone in the know has sold their plate to someone not in the know, for tens and tens of thousands. That's happening all over at the moment. :sad:

And from what I see and hear, the ones selling are usually white middle aged folk, and the ones buying aren't.

Maybe it's just one big fat coincidence. Who knows? :?

If you think that those plates will not be re-licensed in twelve months time, then you best spend a few hours reading up on licensing law.

You may like to ask your licensing officers to do like-wise, because if they had done so, then those plates wouldn't have been issued. :wink:

Every license is valid for the stipulated licensing period whether that be twelve months or twelve years. Do you personally believe the person who has just been granted five licenses can have those licenses taken away from him?

This is not a trick question I just wondered your reasons for thinking why you believe that they can be taken away?

IF LIKE YOU SAY IT IS HAPPENING ALL OVER AT THE MOMENT THEN PLEASE REFRAIN FROM THE CONSTANT REFERENCE TO TRAFFORD!

The origianl question was asked by me. I think you and every other owner in Trafford knows just how many Asian owners there are out of the 103 license holders. If what Elaine Walker said is true then we can also assume that one of those Asian owners recently purchased a cab and plate for a substantial amount of money? Now it doesn't take much of a brain to determine the Value of an S reg Metro or even an S reg TX1. So if the Asian who purchased the cab and plate parted with over 40 grand then someone got a nice little deal. But you don't know any plates that have recently been bought by Asians do you?

Regards

JD

AS FAR AS I AM AWARE LIKE YOU SAY ALL LICENCES ARE SUBJECT TO RENEWAL AFTER 12MTHS AND IT IS ENTIRELY UP TMBC AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THEY ARE TO BE RE-ISSUED SO Y WOULD THE APPLICANT BE ANY DIFFERENT TO ANYONE ELSE.

Well I would, but those in the know, desperate to get rid of their worthless plates, to those not in the know, often see ethnic drivers as easy pickings.

I'm just determining the price of the cab and the price of the plate the reference to Asian is totally irrelevant apart from the fact that he is one of the last persons to have actually bought a cab and plate in Trafford.

I know you know who the person is but I suspect you are wondering if I know who he is? So lets not beat about the bush shall we?
