I have told you that the people I was elected unanimously to represent come from all aspects of the trade. The majority, by some margin, are owner drivers and it is their opinions we are mandated to propose.

I don't post any of what we have achieved in Gateshead so your claims I seek any sort of gratification are ill founded.

You have absolutely no idea what is happening here .............. your assumptions are based on what happens in your area and you consider that it must happen everywhere else.

The people who prosper the most in the taxi trade in Gateshead used to be the PH operators but as you quite rightly state the balance of power is likely to shift, and it is shifting, more increasingly, to the HC owner driver.

GA whatever you think you have achieved is entirely a figment of your imagination. Councils do what they want because they always have, and if you want to take credit for it be my guest. Your gratification is about being in the process of being recognised at your little meetings with the council, all boys together and all that. :roll:

'Cup of tea GA, Gypsy Cream perhaps, now about our little taxi problem?'

Like they need to seek your approval before coming to a decision, dream on: roll: It's called lip service GA they do what they want.

The problem is GA you need them more than they need you, or your daft wee association for that matter.

GET REAL, Councillors are only interested in is their egos, their political careers and ingratiating themselves with people who can do them favours.

BTW how long have you kissed as* up at the council, you sound pretty new at it?

I might also point out GA unless your association has real legal muscle and can haul the council into court in an instant, you have squat.

The only thing they recognise is your ability to do them damage. Then they negotiate. Without some physical damage to their position they don't have to give a sh**. :-|

My bet is your so called association has no such legal representation in real terms. And what's more most would not put their hand in their pocket to get it. :-|

Your a very sad man who thinks that because you have been able to negotiate what you want no-one else can.

BTW what has your forceful approach got you ................... and do you have to ask the owner of the cab you drive if you can take it to the council offices when you go to fight.
