What business you fanny we've been saying this right from the start there is no "business", so what are people paying for?

A Scarcity value perhaps?

I noticed the new administrator claims to have wiped the slate clean with regards to membership of Fastblacks.

That will mean you can post directly onto their forum again Skull, bypassing all these links.

What's wrong GBC don't you like the links and if I remember correctly you like a foot in all camps so this should not pose any problem to you anyway


BTW I still can't post on fasties, so much for wiping the slate clean eh

Now getting back to the point:


The Council Solicitor advises that there is no transfer provision for taxi licences or indeed any licences issued under the Civic Government (Scotland) Act 1982. The report by the task group set up by the Scottish Ministers to review the licensing provisions in that Act which reported in December 2004 stated at paragraph 2.13: ‘in practice, a number of taxi firms are now licensed as companies, which allows retention of the business in the event of bereavement and also enables the business to be sold as a going concern if the owner took the decision to sell, simply by varying the licence to denote the new owner as a director of the company.’ The report went on to recognise that further consideration needed to be given to complete transferability of taxi and phc licences given that to do so might exacerbate the situation whereby taxi licences plates can achieve an artificial ‘scarcity’ value, and that it was never the intention of the 1982 Act that licences should have any intrinsic value.

Why always your single solitary point Garry

You're the only one to ever have heard this 50 grand plate value, then your puppet JT repeated it ad infinitum, and you even got him to write a letter to the City of Edinburgh council leader - cos you choose to live in East Lothian. Mmm East Lothian the place where Ali T was storing his taxi in your garage till he got his plate - you started charging him storage yet At at least 9 months since he would definitely have his taxi on the road you must be raking it in or were you both lying

You claimed to have a PHC on the road - yet you didn't - you lied

You claimed you had given up driving a taxi - yet what were you doing on Saturday night - oh yeah - driving a taxi in Edinburgh. so you lied again.

Like Norman Stanley Fletcher you are an habitual liar, and like him have a criminal record - shame that unlike him, you are for real, and not funny

So how much can we believe this 50 grand value you harp on about - about as much as we can believe anything else you say - NOWT

Have you tried emailing Big Scottie on Fasties to ask him to re-set your password.

I did, and I got to join in all the fun over there

Fun?

Now I know where I've seen you TC. It was in the Jelly club. Just about your level, pineapple (yellow) boy.

Question. Why did TC cross the road?

Answer. Because there was a sh gg ble chicken on the other side.

Cluck cluck cluck cluck.

Of course TC, you could cut through this sh te and begin to address the issues. You could make real points rather than the witless meanderings which your family must shake their heads at.

I often wonder how you maintain any form of relationships uttering the puerile nonsense you do. Or are you really a pathetic unloved loner?

No I read the post, but if plate values were £1,000, instead of £50,000, then the council wouldn't be bothering as much as they are over this issue.

But even if they got rid of transferability the plates would still go to the widows, who inturn would rent out the plates.

TC I would like your views on this would you care to comment? Or is there any part you don't understand like scarcity "value" that's £50,000 of scarcity "value"

Seems to me Councillor Anderson is well aware the situation cannot be allowed to continue wouldn't you say?


BTW the minute they go to the Interested Parties List there's a big problem and let's just say it would cause more problems than it would solve.

I've never tried to defend plate values, I just don't believe anything you say, as you are a proven liar, and therefore can't believe the 50 grand value when you're the only person ever to have heard of it. I don't even defend the 32grand plate value I heard about the other week

Yeah, which is why it is morally unjustifiable for the council to restrict numbers. It only creates the problem.

In a derestricted market, in the event of the death of a licence holder, his widow or family would be able to apply to the council for the licence to take over the operation of the taxi. Their future would be assured.

Seems right and fair to me, without pandering to the aqrtificial plate value syndrome.

TC is it any wonder why you and Kevin (the Predator) Young hide behind pseudonyms on forums. Truth be told, you created this separated identity to protect yourself form anyone who does not take you seriously and that’s just about everyone. Forums are the only place you can hide and have your say without facing ridicule in person. For you this is not about making any valid points it’s all a back slapping exercise for the mentally inadequate your puerile comments amount to nothing but a feel good factor. Have a wee look around, no one cares, everyone looks upon you as the childish wee boy you have always been nothing you say is clever or well though out and the only people who might appreciate it are as retarded as you i.e. Kevin Young. You know the sad part, you just can’t see it.

I think you are best ignored.
