So Mansfield Council put up prices, the trade object to the rise, but thats not evidence that the power to increase fares remains with the authorities and not the drivers.

Kind of a kick in the 8ollocks, Mansfield is, innit Suspect.

lol

In comparison to the mainstream economy restricted numbers are nonsense, pure and simply.

So I think it's the defenders of restricted numbers that have to jusify them, and they clearly can't, and the Govt agreed, for example:

"The Government...considers that it is detrimental to to those seeking entry to a market (in this case would-be taxi license holders) if it restricted without justification that is apparent to all."

You seem to be getting more and more desperate Angel.

I'll ignore the nonsense above, but if you bothered to read the thread you'll see that the 'dreamers' accusation was made by Jimbo on the basis that he doesn't think plate values in some areas are as high as they are, apparently on the basis of plate values only in Lincoln, which clearly has no relevance to other areas.

Yet you are quite keen to trumpet the rise in plate values in Gateshead when it suits you, and also mention the 'substantial' sums invested when it suits.

So clearly you must think that Jimbo is the dreamer?

So if you think it's me then you both must be dreaming, which is what I claimed.

It's no wonder that you're the only one that uses the 'twisted' icon to sign off his messages. Says a lot, that does.

And yes, you are correct, the truth DOES hurt, that's why you're so good at telling lies on here, because you can't face the truth.

Point out where I have once claimed that plates are not changing hands for Money. I paid cash for mine. And would sell today if the offer was right.

LTI and leicester, by the way. Injunction?

25 foot turning circle "invented in 1955?"

made my day that quote made my day.
how strange that some people can turn so easily.
and how can anyone trust what they say?

I take it you still subscribe to your own isolated theory that there is a myth about plate values and no reality? No doubt you phoned those numbers above and they all told you they were giving their plate away free of charge?

You did say you wanted to hear about someone paying 50k for a plate? Yet when you were presented with seven opportunities to dispell your scepticism you thought it best to bury your head in the sand rather than face reality?

When you wrote the paragragh below, what did you actually mean? To most of us it would no doubt appear that you are suggesting plates don't change hands for substantial ammounts of money? Have you now changed your mind?

I think there is a bit of "Myth & Reality" about plate values. If someone you know has paid 50K for a plate, and 30K for a Cab and 3K for insurance, I'd just Love to hear about it. This site really is full of dreamers, isn't it?

JD

Of the seven examples you have so kindly proffered, only one is selling a plate. The other six are selling cabs. I did not want to bother the chap with a plate for sale, he must be inundated with callers. My restricted plate is for sale at £75,000. any offers?

Well considering those plates were for sale 8 months ago back in March it is no wonder they have already been sold. Don't worry I'll get you some more, lol.


JD

My sceptisism arises on pretty much anything authored by you JD, because, you do have a tendency to "exaggerate".

In "No de-limit in Lincoln" you claimed plate values of "tens of thousands"

In "Are we ever going to get an answer to the COF" you claimed that the turning circle was introduced in the "1950's by BMC"

Now, I know, and can prove, that you sought to mislead, in both claims.

Some visitors to this site may hold you in awe, but I do not.

Did you believe Blair, and his weapons of mass destruction claims? I did not call him a liar, but he led us astray. I will not call you a liar, either. but you do seem to love baffling us with bullshit when you can't blind us with science.

I am sceptical still, about all you have to say.

I don't know whether you just can't be bothered reading responses to your claims or if just choose to do so in order to mislead (reminds me of a former poster) but I claimed responsibility for that a few days ago, it wasn't JD.

And to reiterate, I didn't posit the plate value as indisputable fact, I merely based it on the miniscule number of taxis as compared to numbers elsewhere.

And I ask you again, is the plate value mentioned in the latest SUD survey, and can you email a copy to the site?

No doubt you can show me where I said Lincoln had plate values of tens of thousand?



The only reference I made to the 1950's was as follows.

So that leads us to the commercial decision taken in the 1950's by BMC to build a vehicle with a 25ft turning circle?

Can you see any other?

I must admit I was rather hasty in not waiting until I had time to fully research that aspect of the COF but your comments about LTI suing were so ridiculous that I felt I had to respond. You never did say whom LTI were likely to sue? Perhaps you can tell us now? Remember this?

The PCO's quandary is, as I see it, is that if they change the COF so that bread vans fit, LTI would cry foul and sue

I suppose you will cite Leicester as an example but we all know that Leicester are not being sued and we also know that the present injunction was gained by Mr Norton of Swift Taxis. The grounds for the injunction is that not all of the Taxi trade were consulted on the change of policy.

We have a situation here were a Taxi owner got an injunction and LTI were just along for the ride. I suspect with your superior intelligence you will no doubt suggest that LTI could have obtained the injunction by themselves. We know the grounds of the injunction but I would bet there are some on here that will be wondering on what grounds LTI could get an injunction without the help of Swift Taxis?

This leads us back to your original fantasy that LTI would sue all and sundry if vehicles were licensed that didn't comply with the COF?

What will you say when the court removes Mr Norton's injunction and LTI have to go it alone? We shall see how hollow your words are then?

The good thing is that "You won't have long to wait for that decision".



I await with bated breath the proof of my intention to mislead. You have the floor.



I'm sure you're not alone in that thought? lol

JD

Yes, it is. And no, I can't. (Be bothered. you would not publish it anyway)

And to reiterate, you didn't let the truth get in the way of a good story.

Just remind me, what is the address of the liars site? or am I there already?

Do You want to reprint the whole of your claim that BMC introduced the turning circle? Some might say you lie, but not I.
