ross has apologised to me in a pm.
apology accepted ross
strange how some suddenly change tack when faced with reality!
one thing though ross, just to show you that you are on the wrong side.
just for theories sake, dont get angry on us :lol:

if i had put the same threat over to the guy that you drive for, to the effect that " if ross keeps driving for you im gonna torch youre motor"
how long do you think you would be working for him ?
how far do you think the respect and loyallty would have strecht, it would have been see ya ross go get another drive.
and word spreads.

do you have any idea how many times this has happened to us ?
and you wonder why we fight the system.
you know its unjust but you were willing to be party to it.
you were quick enough to pounce on rcf incitement to violence.
and yet as soon as you realise that you would indeed have to make a stand and be commited to it, you immediatly withdraw, albeit it was youre missus that pulled you back to reality.
remember ross we have nothing to lose.
that is the differance between us.
i can only win, i had nothing to start with and nothing can be taken away from me.

i do hope you have taken something from this ross.
and i sincerely mean that.
brother.

I do not condone this sort of attack, nor do I support it, but one hears the talk and one ignores it at one's peril.

Ali - live by the sword and you will surely perish by it!!

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:


any time you wish.

although .

the pen is mightier than the sword .

but iether weapon suits me

Your the easy target Mr Turnbull, and after the kind words you've said to me, I have no sympathy.

When anger rises, think of the consequences.

youre wife has my respect, for her forsight in this matter.

it matters not the weapon.

ross it has been pointed out to me that you drive p27 ?

if thats correct then we have met have we not ?

airport a few weeks back.
when allied where canvasing for signitures.
its seems that you are also anti choice when it comes to vehicle choice as well.
in fact youre exact comments where
that allied facked me before when i bought a metro of them and then they pulled the plug.
now this is strange as im sure you made out that you have never owned a plate.
or is that just run of the mill lies from the fastblacks group, to make the argument feesible.

perhaps you can shed some light on the above.

Well Mr Realcabforcecapone if you want to threaten some one just do it (but one hears the talk )You may play with words, but thats exactly what you are doing .People like you make me sick. You dont like the outcome of the legal process, so you resort to intimidation . I had an open mined about Edinburgh .Not now. Its no wonder AliT and SKULL are not happy. Realcabforcecapone should be banned . What a tw.. streetcars.

Read the post again. I have stated quite clearly that I do not support any such action. I am just facing reality. Skull and Ali T are not the only thugs in the taxi trade. There are others and it is inevitable that they will seek revenge against those who are threatening their livelihood.
All I am doing is making sure that Skyull and Ali T are aware of this. and they are. What no one knows is the where and when those revenge attacks will take place.
And just to be fair, since turnbull makes sure everyone knows the who, what and where about Ross, I'll repeat that turnbull drives plate 967, skull plate 595 and salteri is with CRT on plate 51 (P129) so we can all look out for them and help ensure their safety. :wink: :wink: :wink:

What I really don't understand with all these threats is that the only people who have done anything wrong are the city council!!

If they had discharged their statutory obligations with due diligence then all these applicants would be getting nothing.

The truth is that CEC have been guilty of maladministration and it is they who should be the focus of anybody's anger or dissatisfaction.

But the cowards realise that they will get nowhere with the council, thus they have a pop at those drivers who had the nerve to apply for what they are legally allowed to apply for.

Maybe some of those idiots are just p***ed off they didn't apply themselves. :-k

How many PHC drivers have been reported by the cab inspector in the last 3 years for illegally plying for hire?


you paint a picture that all PHC Drivers are "illegally plying for hire"
which is just not the case. i do not i dont need to i get pleanty work through that radio. now what does that tell you.

people are turning to PH due to the quality of motors on the road and the service we provide. Skull has pointed this out a number of times.
the playing field is not a level one and i would say that goes for both sides of the trade.

i think you would find that if you did not have to pay 40K for a plate you would find a decrease in PH numbers as i know a few guys who would love to drive a black cab but for them selfs and not a owner.

Notice youve avoided my point about your exploitation of poor drivers on your PHC


where do you get that PHC drivers are poor :?: :?: :?:


Chipper

If you'd seen the number of PHC's who on Saturday night were obviously all legitimately waiting on their pre-booked fares, whilst committing the criminal act of obstructing a taxi rank, the rank outside 16 George Street to be precise, who all magically disappearred when a police van parked itself in the middle of George Street outside The Hard Rock Cafe, was just amazing? All their fares phone and cancel at the same time? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Legal? who the fack do you think you're kiddin. :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

As for poor PHC drivers, why is old slapheid still driving a taxi AND trying everything he can to get his own plate IF his PHC is as lucrative as you claim, come to think of it, why aren't the whole of the licensed taxi trade, including Messrs Salteri AND Turnbull buying themselves PHC's Any chance of getting them or you to answer that one. :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?:

Also think about where the majority of the guys gettin their breifs come from - could it be the PHC trade. Keep taking the Prozac :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I also notice that The Criminal thug, The would be Lawyer, and the richest man in Niddrie, have all avoided answering any substantive questions. As ever the Twatty Trio, just bullshit and threaten. Situation feckin normal then :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

I’ve got news for you and it’s all bad. The Ph is a growth industry, 800 Ph and rising. The Taxi industry is losing its share of the market. (Maybe you can see the correlation between the two?) The next time you are stalking unsuspecting females up and down George Street have a look at the Ph vehicles, Merc Vitos Audis, Volkswagens and yes some Skoda’s as well. While I agree there is still the odd banger or two the Ph industry has come a long way in the last 10 years.



Dare I say it? We have less work higher running costs, over inflated driver’s rentals, unjustifiable plate premiums, only the psychologically damaged “Taxi Driver” would pay.


Explain why anyone should pay in the region of 40K for a plate to buy a job?

No 1 - I take great exception to the comment about stalking. I dont have the kind of reputation like you do, and I never will have. The public has far more to fear from you ya criminal thug. :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

If PHC is so profitable, why you still "hammering the airport" and not making your fortune driving your PHC which must be so much cheaper. You got some drivers on it who can't pass there breif, and are stupid enough to pay the inflated prices you got to be charging. If they were makin so much money they wouldn't have been illegally plying for hire outside the Dome and Le Monde. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Numbers can say anything, youve never told us how many of these PHC's are on weekend only circuits, or how many have a radio and a meter fitted, so how many are only plated for school runs etc. Also lets see how many of them fail to have there meters ajusted to to new tariff when if goes up. You, Skull and your merry band, will all of course either turn the increase down or will give a discount to every fare. There again maybe you shouldn't do that Ali or Garry will deal out his kind of justice and give you a sore face :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Before Ali T starts any more of his [edited by admin] I passed my test (first time!!)back in 1991. when the test didn't include Telford Colleges load of useless bollocks, but did include the two routes with no choice and automatic fail for getting either wrong. =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D>=D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D>
