Taxi Driver Online

It's not the first time your 'pals' have acted behind you back Mick is it.

Seems strange to me that the members e-mails from your site have been surreptitiously purloined ( or shall we say escaped) from right under your nose and given to the canvasser of a ‘rival’ (?) site and your two closest were the first to join the new site!

Do I smell acts of treachery?

Scoundrels these wishy washy PH one minute HC the next types- no loyalty you see. That is what becomes of not belonging to a fraternity.

For what it is worth (coming from me) I think you are an honorable fellow Mick and didn’t deserve such underhand treachery. Don’t forget I still have not had an answer as to how an exclusive e-mail address known only to your site and me ‘escaped’. Have you asked the ‘pals’? I know one is protesting innocence how about Marcus J Brutus?

All this and we are not even in the month of March let alone the ides day so you had nothing to be aware of!!

Should have listened to a soothsayer I reckon.

I have no idea Maurice, why we would want to send details of our membership to another "rival" site is a mystery to me mate, not that I think either site is a rival to the other anyway as neither is a commercial venture.

Anyway I heard about this site from Alan Foster, not the administrators and as it has only 17 members at the moment I doubt many people have been directly contacted from any site. Maybe its a testimate to your knowledge that they felt they needed you on here, an honour bestowed upon you by your piers, I just hope they know what their letting themselves in for. The format of this site will more suit your approach, as well as certain others and for those who want something different there is allways our site.

Do you mean the London minicab/PH drivers who do the Knowledge of London Maurice??

Did you start off as a minicab driver then Maurice??

BTW, I doubt if any group could be more unfraternal than the London taxi drivers, except perhaps the taxi drivers in my manor. But at least this board doesn't try to sweep its disagreements under the carpet, unlike the closed London list.

Dusty

Mick, as I said the fact that you weren't invited wasn't deliberate, by the same token the fact that Maurice was wasn't deliberate, but only a tiny proportion of the trade use message boards, so word gets around quickly.

Not that I object to Maurice posting, since everyone deserves and umpteenth chance (!), but we'll see how things progress.

Dusty

Dusty that sounds terrible! you are giving one of the best taxi posters in the world a chance?

dont be sucked in by others predjudices!

Wharfie

No not these guys that have seen the light the path to rightiouness. They rightly wanted out of the botty end of life. They are not the yoyo's Mr Thumb was talking of.

No not me mate. Motor trade then Sale then garage repair owner then a lovely Green Badge.

Where's your manor then? Unique is it?

>>"But at least this board doesn't try to sweep its disagreements under the carpet, unlike the closed London list."<<

Early days, but as you say let us see.

Any disagreements on the London list is aired allright.

Claude

Aired on the list Maurice, but getting in is like trying to raid Fort Knox!!

BTW, I admire Call Sign in that they're not afraid to air thier dirty washing in public, and pulished on the internet to boot.

You're with another lot aren't you Maurice??

Dusty

Gosh weve got it in for Maurice aint we? who are you thinking of in this other lot? Addison Lee?

Wharfie

No Geoff, I was just curious as to which of the circuits Maurice was with, but I was sure it wasn't Dial-a-cab.

In fact I think it must be Radio Taxis, cos he's certainly not with ComCab.

Or maybe he's not with any!

Dusty

You seem to be construing anything I praise OR criticise about London as being a criticism of Maurice, Geoff.

Not true.

As I said I admire Call Sign for airing internal company problems in public.

OK maybe the other circuits don't do that, but that is no more a criticism of Maurice than of every other cab company in the land.

Dusty

Everyone is free to air their opinions, but bad language, abusive and belittling posts will just be deleted. That kind of stuff is anti-free speech.

If anyone gets out of hand all their posts will be deleted, at the very least (but all will be stored beforehand) and IP addresses recorded.

Dusty

Thats the stuff Dusty there is enough there to harrass anybody right off!

Wharfie

Well I an curious about you! you have got the life history out of Maurice today! and that afful bloody memory! Marice is a shareholder in his mutual!

tell us about yourself, for instance which council are you an officer with or is it more likely the pco?

Wharfie

If I'd wanted you to know I would have told you ages ago, but at least you're inconsistent about what or who you think I am.

Must be that memory of yours Geoff!

Dusty

you leave your clues up and down like location council dump, you are good at getting lifestories out of others whilst keeping stum about yourself cannot see you driving a taxi you are too bloody high and almighty!

you hate London drivers, and this cannot merely beccase you get £1 coins off people to aggree with thier anti London Opionions

I find you full entertainment value, We would love to have you speaking at our annual dinners, just need to know who I am bribing!
