you got poisened water mate, just the thing to finish off the competition.
17% should do it.then make them pay to pick up costumers.

can you see a pattern yet ross


Yes I do, comcab are not covering their work so they are leaking contract customers.
You cannot lose a million pound a year contract to your opposition. No matter how big a company you are. I am suprised no one has been sacked for it.

sacked! for doing what they are told ?
ross comcab are the biggest fleet in edinburgh.
they have also just aquired 160 ph soon to be increased to 200 at the airport.
these 2 facts now make them unstopable they can increase thier taxi/ph numbers expendentialy expand and contract when the market suits.
this is choice ph all over again except this time nothing will stop it, next year the trade will deregulate,, yer doomed im glad i only drive one for a living
:lol:

if city central can do it for 17 % less how far do you think comcab can go ?
how far is far enough


Comcab where doing it at 15% discount before it came up for tender. So how far did they go ?


It was a desperate move Ross nothing else. They are putting up the radio dues to cover it. How many times do you think they can buy work they are already at breaking point. :roll:

ross! you dont get this game.

do you believe you won the social contract ?

i believe that comcab let you win in order to weaken you further.

do you think them losing the social contract has weakened them ?

The CRT committee have consistently bought work radio dues just can't go any higher. Owners are already looking to bail out. How may Radio sets do you think they can lose before they can't give the discount?

Do you think ETA legally had the right to be at that meeting, even though they had no written constitution in place?

Everyone in this country has a legal right to appear at meetings.

Only those that have lost the argument ask such pathetic questions. [-X

Just because a driver is happy with his lot dosen't make something that's wrong suddenly right.

Believe it or not I'm more than happy with my lot, but none of us should live or dwell on the past. :wink:

Don't you mean 'they' think that all drivers should have the same rights?

That includes the right to be happy as a minion :D :wink:

By the time you read this you'll have already discovered that you are banned for 3 months from the airport rank.
Is that the reason for joining comcab ?

By the way, on the social contract. Comcab had a 3year contract, but the council opted to put it out to tender after a year.
And as for the discount, if your figure is right then we should be getting all the council contracts, that would save council tax payers loads of money.

I would much prefer the money going into the pockets of taxi/PH drivers.

1 optical regognition system isnt working yet

2 do you think it would be hard for baa to give us a feeder rank ?

3 they are taking the [edited by admin] making you drive round in circles.

4 its of no surprise to me im banned ,the consequences of my actions were known before i commited to this cause (i know we are all going to get banned ross, you included, the diference is they wont take the [edited by admin] out of me before a ban, as they do with you. i clocked one guy the other night who did ten circiuts before he got on. and you think they want you thier, no chance.

5 they may stop guys like you working the airport by banning them, but im not the submissive type ross, one way or another i will pick up, ill now save myself a quid in doing so

youre so caught up in the details ross, the war is already won, guess what city/central lost


for those that dont know the airport has a rank for about 25 cars.
they have posted a notice saying that all cars who fart in the wrong direction(thier is a list of offences) will be banned from the airport.
the main offence is hanging off the end of the rank . the thing is thier is plenty space at the airport they make lots of money from taxi's using the rank but cant provide a space for us to park up when the main rank is full, or even just make the main rank bigger. they want us to drive round in circles instead .
now ross get this through youre head. you and the rest of the numpties are being used, but thier is no telling you , so only time will tell.

apologies in advance ross if i have to crash through the collapse
ble bariers in front of you ross, its just who i am, i cant help it.

watch and learn ross, i hear the middle pick up works well.

no ross you have this back to front.......... the decision to ban the city taxi's and get rid of the rank came first..............all they are doing now is engineering a way in which to ban us and back up thier decision with proof that we are a bad bunch.
