Any response Mr Gull? :wink:

Its from AndyP by the way!



You are probably a very nice guy but very easily lead But you appear to be just like you alias... a cgull who drops crap everywhere ... vermins generally Anyway I was sent your postings from the Dark Side

The meeting we are having next week is to do with one point and one point only.. the log in delay when reissuing a job. An EGM is an Extraordinary General Meeting and not an Emergency General Meeting

At present it is set to three minutes and some drivers have commented that this is too long in certain circumstances.. and as we have requested all comments from drivers to improve the system we have now dropped the three minute delay.. You see thats the advantage on being on an owner driver association where it is all democratic. Unlike were you work where, as I understand it, if you give back more than a couple of jobs you are suspended from work for a period of time.

By the way, are you happy to pay for the privilage of paying the owner of the company for the account work you do. Isnt it correct that you have to deduct a certain amount from the final fare to pay to the owner? Please correct me if I am wrong want to make sure that the information I have is correct.

I am sure that you have read all the company newsletters that I have written that specifically encouraged drivers to come in and tell us where any problems have arisen with Evo. Has your firm done that with you? No.. I dont think so, you do as Mr A.C tells you or you are off..correct?

I will admit that there are about five or six drivers out of a total of 350 who do nothing but complain about everything and anything. These are those drivers who reissue every other job given to them because they are very fussy about the work they do and want others, such as myself, doing the £2.70 jobs. But then if it was down to those people we would be back on pen and paper

And yes the phones are not quite correct at the moment due to a very big let down by a third party contractor.... but why does that bother you? The only major problem being that the direct lines to the back office dont connect straight away.

If you would like direct answers to any of these problems that you seem to have please feel free to email me direct on andrew.peters@202020taxis.com . But you probably wont, you would much rather behave like a fool and suck up to your mates on the Dark Side

And as for me being out in April.. well, thats the first I have heard about it I did mention to a couple of people that I may consider not standing again due to other commitments and to be honest I could do with the rest

However, we shall see on the day, which I believe is April 11. Although I am sure you will keep us all posted. Give me a toot as you drive past me and I will acknowledge you back

And why wont you come along and enter the Taxi Driver of The Year competetion? Could it be that you are not really part of the community.. just an outsider? It would be fun.. mixing with all your mates in the trade

By the way.. isnt it time you moved on to another firm.. dont you usually last only about six months

AndyP says! :wink: :










Cgull 58 letters of complaints is actually 51 signatures to call an Extraordinary General Meeting to discuss one subject only about the Evo. This is how our democratic system works.,,, and long live that system

This is the period of delay of three minutes before you can log back in again after reissuing a job back to the office, because you don't want to do it for perhaps reasons of the job just going round the corner

And cgull, it is not for you to suggest how we run our business as it clearly states in the rules, made by the members, that the Committee of Management set the radio and data procedure

Unlike other firms, such as yours, owned by one person, who tells you exactly how to work on his company. Yes you have a roof sign and work the streets like any hackney, but you have a radio on that circuit.

Importantly, you seem to conveniently forget that I have positively encouraged members to give their comments on the new system so that we can tweak it to suit the majority.

The point is Cgull, is you seem want to live up to your name and attempt to drop crap everywhere without the full facts for whatever reason you have. Perhaps you just like to spread gossip, as you clearly have no other input whatsoever

Anyway, can you please reconsider the Taxis Driver of The Year competition, as we need people of all abilities to show there is no bias:wink:

Dont forget to email me direct with any questions that you may have. I could also send you our newsletters direct if you like, just like the person who sends us the City Cabs newsletters direct

Looks like another case of a driver being voted onto a committee, and over night forgeting from whence he came. [-X

This was the bloke who was saying that Evocab was the biz, when others using it said it wasn't. But now he is desperate to defend the cost of the thing to the owners.

Still once an Emu, always an Emu. :D

Nice Lively Debate.

Maybe the issue here, is that any comments/suggestions/queries that AndyP has had have been directed back to Auriga where they can deal with it promptly. It seems to me that Cgull moans on and on about the same issues, but for some reason is reluctant to pass suggestions I've made back to the owner of the company he works for - not sure why :doubt:

Further more, dont know much about the CT4000 data unit - I do know that if you put it back to back against a CT3000, it is not a lot bigger (but I concede it is bigger). Anyway, that would be why you have the choice to have an Ipaq instead, which is nice and small.......an easily broken.......and easily 'sold on' by the local junkie who nicks it :p

Andy,
I take it as a compliment that you call us the Dark Side, I find it amusing that you and others try constantly to verbally assasinate all aspects of our company, are you and your allies afraid that drivers may find out the truth.
Please do not make statements about our company that you have no knowledge of, we do not suspend drivers for refusing work, we have rules regarding this issue, but as usual you are way off the mark. As an ISO registered company we have procedures regarding the constant encouragement of drivers to have their say about all aspects of our company. We have drivers meetings, drivers reps meetings and suggestion box's for drivers who wish to remain anonymous. I also find it staggering that you mention our account work, is that worse that charging thousands to join with no refunds if a driver is not satisfied.
Finally, you slag cgull off and call him vermin for sticking his nose into your company and then go and do the same to ours, perhaps it is time to have a rest.
Regards
Over Lord of the Dark Side
PS
I look forward to seeing you at the Taxi Driver of the Year

If ever someone needed proof that this trade is led by buffoons, then having a meeting of drivers, an Extraordinary General Meeting at that ( :D ) to decide if a three minute delay on booking back on is right or wrong, then here it is. :lol: :lol:

Maybe I've picked you up wrong Mr Breezy, but I think by the dark side he means this website rather than the office you work for :D

But even then it's certainly a case of the pot calling the kettle..err.. dark :lol:

But we're whiter than white anyway. O:)

Blatantly lifted from the Dark Side
I would be grateful for someone to post this on that forum


Andy,
I take it as a compliment that you call us the Dark Side,

The jovial reference of The Dark Side (as also referred to on other sites) is to that forum site not the taxi company, much the same as their reference to our forum site

I find it amusing that you and others try constantly to verbally assasinate all aspects of our company, are you and your allies afraid that drivers may find out the truth.

As far as I am aware I have never verbally assasinated you company nor tried constantly to either, nor would I stoop so low. Please point out where and when this has been. And what truth may that be?

Please do not make statements about our company that you have no knowledge of, we do not suspend drivers for refusing work,

The information that I was given, relayed to me by our chairman ,was that the policy on your company was to suspend drivers for a period of half an hour if they hand back more than two jobs .

As an ISO registered company we have procedures regarding the constant encouragement of drivers to have their say about all aspects of our company. We have drivers meetings, drivers reps meetings and suggestion box's for drivers who wish to remain anonymous.

Great, pleased to hear that.. that quashes another horrible rumor

I also find it staggering that you mention our account work, is that worse that charging thousands to join with no refunds if a driver is not satisfied.

Thousand? where was that figure plucked from?

Finally, you slag cgull off and call him vermin for sticking his nose into your company and then go and do the same to ours, perhaps it is time to have a rest.

I totally agree, but then you should have a look at some of his postings whereby he takes every oportunity to have a swipe at my company and personal reference to me. Did you see the postings cgull made about your company and Evo.. came running to the forum to post all the problems you had. Im sure he just enjoys the attention

asnyone out their dont ever buy evocab.
unless you want to lose work.
it sends cars to the wrong direct lines.
if the call back doesnt work it says knock on the door.
how the f*** do you get a person in a busy pub. which door do you knock on.
very very slow. not good.
designed by idiots to be bought by idiots

This is an interesting one

and the rigmaroll if you get a no show.
takes about 5 minutes to go through all the stages to get put back on.
also i had a job with a 20 min lead time when i was in the same zone.
would have took me one min to get tyhere.
then they lost the job.
drivers have been taking fuses out of sat and working how they like.
a lot of money for not A lot progress.

----------------------------------------------------------
Posted: Wed Nov 23, 2005 8:46 pm

speaking to one of the drivers at the school today and he got sent a job via the computer for a address that the firm has blanked.
so all the idiots and non payers can now get a cab cutorsey of this stupid bloody system.


----------------------------------------------
Posted: Wed Dec 21, 2005 10:31 pm

still not that impressed with evocab.
i just cant get over how slow it is and how responsive it is not.
the old ariuga would let you push buttions very quickly in turn.
this one doesnt let you. it just does not react.
and the worse bit is it still lets cars pass each other ion the way to jobs.
no where as good as it should be.


-----------------------------------------------

The above is just a small sections of quotes from cgull. Now the point of this is that it just proves that he lives up to his name and drops crap every where like vermin. Not only does he slag me off ( for whatever reason as he does not even know me) and my company but he has no loyalty to your company as he to has run to the forum and post all the problems that you have had. Great publicity for you.

You should consider the best quote as above designed by idiots to be bought by idiots which is obvously a reference to AC and very disrespectful, do you not think. This shows exactly the character of cgull and its comments like this that really pee me off, and I hope you agree on this.

I also hope that we can both agree that it is the likes of cgull that can be the cause of big problems between parties. He is nothing but a (insert naughty word here) stirrer.

Perhaps you now see why I have had to reply to his posts the way I did
