Today, ETA chairman Eric Shade said: "What other business in this day and age would put up with a monopoly situation which leaves us no choice of supplier when it comes to the key tool we need to ply our trade?


Err, the Edinburgh taxi trade? #-o

"Inevitably this monopoly means that Edinburgh drivers have to pay over the odds for what is a very outdated product."


Is he talking about restricted numbers here? I suspect not - do as I say, not as I do!

Lets hope Edinburgh remove the turning circle requirement and the other barriers to the E7. The ETA with its 450 members would have a strong case in court should Edinburgh decide to retain the turning circle condition.

I hope these guys do take them to court on the grounds the Turning circle condition is unreasonable. I think the're chance of winning is greater than losing.
