I think he was referring to a taxi magazine? He can submit any grevience he likes but I suspect it will be answered by the person who he criticied? Lets not beat about the bush, these guys who make ambiguous statements should be brought to task.

If I read your post wrongly then I opoligise but it seemed to me at the time you were criticisng the author of the article.

I must admit I didn't read the article to which you refer it but lets face it, Captain Cab has for the last 12 months harped on about this site in his casey column and I haven't seen you mention that? If you or anyone else for that matter has a problem with what is written in Taxi Today then you have two solutions, you can either write direct to the person who wrote the article or if it was a person on here then you can post your response on here and i'm sure you will get satisfaction from the author, one way or another.

Regards

JD

Hey JD, calm down mate. :wink:

I wasnt criticisng anyone, I was just "chewing the fat", making an observation, whatever. :)

I have no knowledge of anything anyone else has posted or written in any other publication because I rarely see any taxi publications (as per my original post)

So to clarify, here's what my original post should've said and would've if I could've edited it.

See I would love to see the edit function back, but, alas, someone abused it once. [-X

Perhaps we should have a poll. But we don't have them as well. :?

This site hasnt been mentioned in that column since January 06 and even then it was valuable for the pure form of comedy. :D

It is perhaps a sad blight on the minicab industry of London that you represent them, what do you mean 'thinks'?

It is highly noticable that you tend to steer away from any threads that require more than average thinking power, is that a lack of knowledge I detect?

For all my arguments with JD, TDO and Sussex, at least they give us the benefit of a view, you are by comparison errm thick as pigsh*t when it comes to anthing outside London and admittedly I am being extremely kind to you there.

Association....you can't even spell it :lol:

Why would a non-London based National organisation need an office in Central London when we have different licensing laws in the Provinces to the Capital?

Indeed, when I spoke to the Minister last month in Carlisle she told me she was in fact from Lincoln, which does actually suggest not everyone in power comes from the Capital.

As for your royal comments, well when you see Mr Ladyman in February please ask him if he is still a minister of the crown and if he swore alliegance to the queen upon entering office.
