Ah right so it's OK to repeatedly bring up someone's health issues but not the fact that they are stupid enough to do the same thing week after week after week. I'm only pointing out that Jasbar's personal security precautions are somewhat lacking and that he should perhaps vary his time and location. I can't be the only person to have noticed his habits. This is nothing compared to some of the poisonous vitriol little jimmy has posted. And this site has a policy of NOT removing posts - tough, he's the one that stops at nothing to score a point. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Reminds me of that Public Information advert (remember them?) from at least 30 years ago that was never off the TV at one point.

Two crims are discussing the habits of someone depositing the takings from a shop, and there are pictures of a young female walking along the street clutching a paper bag and wearing a startling array of outfits, but always going through the same procedure.

The dialogue went something like:

"See that wee lassie fae the sweetie shop?"

They then remark that she does the same thing every week, and never changes.

"Vary 'er time?" NAW!

"Vary 'er route?" NAW!

They then say that you'd think they'd get some big burly bloke to do the job and that a paper bag wasn't exactly secure.

But their closing line was:

"Gift wrapped Wullie - and it's all for US!!"

The voiceover at the end said:

"Look after your takings - before someone else does!"

Anyone else remember it?

Yeah, but you don't detest me enough to face me down, do you coward?

So, now you're a watcher. You seem to think you somehow have the upper hand because you think I don't know who you are. Personally, I believe anyone capable of conducting themselves in this manner should have their licence removed. Be afraid little man. Be very afraid.

I reckon you are a danger to the public TC. And I think that the cab inspector should be asking serious questions about your conduct. Remember there is no anonymity on the web.

I also reckon that the reason you're so bent out of shape is because you know you've lost the argument. You can't possibly win it, because it is based on the same economic rules applicable everywhere else in our economy.

You're dead in the water TC, just a twisted man who knows he's going to lose a false £50K plate "value", but knows he can't sell out cos he couldn't work for anyone else.

And you've also shown the rest of the taxi trade in the UK just how low the vested interests in Edinburgh have stooped. Not a great advert are you?

So, being Wednesday, what time did I put my money through the bank tonite?

Also I do know what I am fighting for. I am fighting to keep my standard of earnings to stay as they are and not be diluted by an increase in plates.


You haven't been paying attention Ross. In case you hadn't noticed your work has already been diluted - by an increse threefold in PH.

And the bus service. And Night buses. And rickshaws. And now tuk tuks.

Perhaps we should have described the argument in Janet and John terms. Then you may just have got it. Here's us thinking we were dealing with "businessmen" too? :lol:


Did you not understand the two drives one taxi = two drives two taxis rule?

The number of taxis may increase, but the number of drivers ain't gonna change dramatically. We're talking London here, not Dublin. We're talking about quality controls keeping numbers down.

But, when PH expands, it does so to lesser standards, with readily available cheap and transient labour. Guys who are not committed to the trade. Whenever an increase in demand occurs, by the time the taxi trade gets out of the starting blocks to meet it, because of resistance from owners protecting their plate values and high rentals, our customers have already been shoe-horned into PH.

This is why they are continually expanding. The taxi trade is doing nothing to protect its own business.

At a time when the big companies should be promoting the trade, they are fighting each other, wondering which one will go to the wall first.

When Comcab came to town, I thought they would try to buy up the other big two. They don't need to bother. They're attracting all the cars and drivers they need, at the pace they make to take work away from the other two. That's the cheap option. That's the business option.

You got to think seriously about this Ross. You want the taxi trade to exist, then you've got to promote its modernisation. You got to push for real quality controls. You've got to be prepared to take on PH to protect the trade.

Remeber it was the PH who didn't want more taxis in Edinburgh in the Jacobs Report. Can you understand why?

I do hope you realise that my reference to medication is a figure of speech.

It was not meant personally. And if you did take it so, because you are truly taking medication, then I apologise wholeheartedly.

how do you work that one out?? there are a few bits of junk out there this is true but the same can be said of the taxi trade and IMO the cab office should put them off the road.

how can it be cheap labour when we are all self employed and run on the same tariff as you do.

jasbar wrote:

who says the PH are not committed to the hire trade.
the TAXI trade blame every one for there troubles but as it has been pointed out its there own fault for having it there own way for so long and not taking the chalange when it appears.

Another reasoned response from TC - born to lead.

It gives me great pleasure to think of you imploding as you thump your keyboard with all the smileys.

Does it make you feel better?

Remember you can't type in a straight-jacket.

And, you're still a coward. And the more you rant, the more everyone can see it. You could never come out of the closet. Everyone would laugh in your face for you being a plonk.

That's why you are powerless to do anything to prevent the change which is coming. You can't win the argument so get your jollies spouting bile and invective.

But, I love it. It just fuels the desire to bring about change. The more you rant, the quicker you bring the very change about which you fear most.

:lol:
