NP Kermit, when you said;

Dont talk tosh Sussex, it barely compares and as you well know those that are using the 7 day contract are operating legally, all be it using a loophole, however most of these people have tried to licence and have been hit by a wall. Alas this is changing rapidly thankfully. This is why i ask that you give these people a bit more consideration. I personally was licenced from the start so aint bothered but i know many a good op that just could not due to councils unwillingness and you know what a pain they can be surely!!!!!


It kind of explained the situation.

What we need now if for LA's to recognise that Limousines and others may require special treatment when it comes to displaying plates on vehicles etc (we wouldn't want to see expensive vehicles having to drill four holes in the rear bumpers now would we?).

So long as they are licensed along with the drivers will suffice to most sound minded people.

regards

GMB, if your head wasn't so far up your ARSE and you weren't such an illiterate [edited by admin] then you would of read in my posts that this doesn't bother me as I HAVE BEEN LEGAL AND LICENCED from the word go.
Now unless you want to accuse me of doing other wrongs without knowing the facts then i suggest you Foxtrot Oscar before i sue your ARSE, and yes i would take on the so called mighty GMB union too. Your most recent posts clearly show you for the [edited by admin] you truly are, and lest we forget you started this.




I'll go witness for you mate, mind you Flannaguffs bank account only amounts to about £3.80, so don't expect too much. :D

Kermit IF ive got the wrong end of the stick, my appologies it wasnt apparent to me youd always been licensed.Very pleased VOSA given you clean bill of health.GMBPDB policy would quite obviously not apply to you.Thankfully the solution has now been implemented.I am never afraid to admit mistakes in debate if im in Plymouth and need a limo youve got the job.As for suing for libel,it wouldnt be me youd be suing, but the PUBLISHER IE the SITE! All the best Terry.

Terry the abuse is rampant throughout the country, but i can assure you things are a changing, i could tell you about all the limo raids and vosa stop checks i now know about in the last month, but i would need half a page and to be honest i just cant be bothered to type for that long :mrgreen:
