Thats hilarious Garry !

Let me rephrase that question to make it easier for you.

What do you and jasbar deem a reasonable price to pay for a nightshift rental?

That depends on what you are offering what's on the table?

Yes Garry, do as gasbag tells you after all it's not as everyone else in Edinburgh doesn't ignore JT already, and you have taken yourself off to the wilds of jobseekers allowance land.

I do hope you declared all of your earnings on Saturday night- the taxman as you know, watches this forum like a hawk.

As for remaining anonymous, I've seen the way you two turn to extemely personal issues when cornered like the rats you are, and I have no intention of allowing you to tell the kind of lies and rumours you may then claim you know about me - you've done it many times before, you'd do it again like the predicatable rats you are.

Ross.

Let me say I remember eating your chocolate coated puff candy as a wee boy. Lipsmacking. Never seen a candy so puffed since.

Anyway, as sexy Susie says - sorry that's another persona. Forget I said that.

Anyway darling. Oops there I go with my freudian slips again. Perhaps you shouldn't think of me in my slip.

Anyway, gosh I just can't help myself. What would be a reasonable price to pay for a nightshift? Is this what you're asking?

Darling, I don't know what you mean, darling. Do you mean for a nightshift when there's actually some work on the streets to help pay for it?

Or, are we talking the kind of nightshift where we can complete half a dozen sudokus?

Or even darling, the kind of nightshift where we meet disillusioned cabbies in Canonmills petrol station darling. You know the type. The wee bewildered souls who, when the golf and footie issues are dealt with, wander off into the night to find a lonely wee rank to amuse themselves. And, we all know how lonely cabbies on a rank enjoy themselves, don't we darling?

Anyway, back to the nightshift. Do you mean the kind of nightshift where the radio only plays old music, doesn't give out desperately needed taxi jobs or simply plays the latest daily memoir of moi, sexy Susie? No problem with that.

Ross, please tell me which, then perhaps I may answer your question directly darling.

Tune in tomorrow for more exciting adventures of sexy susie, Ross.

Or, better still, send me your fone number and sexy susie will cum back to you. That's a promise.

Whatever a free market dictates i.e. a market without restriction on taxi numbers where drivers have the choice to own or buy, there is no reasonable price.

Does that answer your question Ross?

When I was working 6 nights half my week was paying for the rental, fuel and getting to my work. The only nights worth working are at the weekend Fri to Sunday or perhaps Thursday to Sunday that's 36-48 hours which is more than enough.

The [edited by admin] thing about our modern society is that we have managed to dispense with the physical chains. You know, the rattly, wrist chaffing metal things adorned by slaves.

But, let's make no mistake, they are just as effectively there as they always have been.

And they attach us to the same, even higher, degree of servitude to the system controlled by the few.

So, remember this next time you sit in the saddle. And work out why it is that you are only allowed to work when someone else dictates, cos you can't afford to pay the rental he demands for the full monty.

Then consider your situ along with other workers in the wage-slave game. Look at their package of benefits and ask where your sick pay comes from? Your holiday pay? Your pension? Your health provision?

Then, build this into your takings for the year and come back and tell me that we in the taxi trade have got agreat deal.

Then, if you were to pay for all this from your take, tell me how many hours you're working to achieve it.

Then tell me that you conveying your customers safely, 100% of the time.

It's only a matter of time before the authorities tipple to the potential hazards involved here. I suspect it may come from European Directive.

Over to you Stu. What can you tell us?

The [edited by admin] thing about our modern society is that we have managed to dispense with the physical chains. You know, the rattly, wrist chaffing metal things adorned by slaves.

But, it;s an illusion. Let's make no mistake, they are just as effectively there now as they always have been.

And they attach us to the same, I'd say even higher, degree of servitude to the system controlled by the few.

Then, build this into your takings for the year and come back and tell me that we in the taxi trade have got a great deal.

Then, if you were to pay for all this from your take, tell me how many hours you're working to achieve it.

Then tell me that you are conveying your customers safely, 100% of the time.

It's only a matter of time before the authorities tipple to the potential hazards involved here. I suspect it may come from European Directive.

Over to you Stu. You're usually good at coming up with this sort of info.

What do you and jasbar deem a reasonable price to pay for a nightshift rental?

Well I dare say there will be something about it, but I am not getting involved anymore, I will be concentrating on my own circumstances.

I answered this one Ross, I might point out you use the word "reasonable" I don't consider any rental "reasonable" under the present circumstances.


My "reasonable" is what a free market decides and wee don't have that, yet.


Sorry Ross this is the best I can do until de-restriction then you won't have to ask you will know.

Me, I believe half the running costs of the vehicle is quite fair.
