He might not have been insured, but his punters would have been.

Oh and I've shouted peoples identities from the rooftops haven't I ........... ask you pal Sussex.


Yeah ............ the truth.

But lets not let something as boring as the truth get in the way of the made up crap you come up with.

How many would have been owner drivers if your council hadn't de-limited?

I would say that 90% of plates were held by owner drivers before deregulation Sussex.

As the number of plates and vehicles has tripled in the HC sector the number of PH has risen by approx 50% so your asumption that PH lads would change to HC hasn't been the case here ................. although I do accept the fact that it may well somewhere else.

My point is that you are representing owners that you would prefer to be non-owners.

Treating folks the same is really the only way forward.

I never said he did not do wrong and that he should not have been punished. Nor did I claim he should have got away with it.

But you are right it does make you sad. I feel sorry you need the emotional turmoil of others to feed your own your own lack of self-esteem. That is not to say I do not take satisfaction when beating someone I consider to be my enemy. I just find it shallow to spend your life looking for undeserving victims. There is no guilt in beating an enemy who is equal to or greater than oneself. What makes you sad is your need for a victim, any victim, especially one who is facing the prospect of being punished for the same crime twice.


But at least you are honest about being sad. It's only a pity GA is not the same.

Hang on a minute here Dusty .................... what encourages a person to want a plate ............ the people in the industry who are facing bankruptcy or the people claiming having a HC plate is like winning the lottery.

The fact is that all you people fighting to get a HC plate shows that you believe that it has a value, otherwise you wouldn't be fighting.

Accept the truth ........... and come down from cloud cuckoo land.

I wouldn't prefer that at all Sussex ............... its clearly what you would like me to think so that you could berate me further but I must disappoint you.

Professional drivers should have the opportunity to own the vehicle and licence.

Un-professional drivers should be signing on the dole.

Law breakers should be excluded from this trade as they reflect badly on those who accept the responsibility of being involved in our great profession.

Just wanting to do this job is not enough, for me and the public recognise us as being the same as the worst driver they have met ................. that angers me greatly.

Oh spare me the moral indignation you sad little man. The only value you see in law breakers being excluded from anything is you climbing on to your pedestal to look down on everyone while having a wan*.

If you had your way no one would be driving taxis unless rubber stamped by you…. The trade is full of guys who have broken the law at one time or another and this doesn’t make them unfit to drive a taxi.

What about having the public vetted before they can hire your taxi? As ridiculous as this may seem it’s no different than having toss** like you passing judgment on everyone else.

Are you telling us you have never had so much as a parking fine?

What a wan* stain you really are.

So you're saying that the PH offices can run fleets of HC, yet a new HC driver can't run one unless he pays a premium for a licence?

Yes, great achievement that




No, you're more subtle about it.

I mean, you didn't publish the name of a sports injury specialisit solicitor on a website and said that he was running TDO when he was actually in hospital having an operation , but you know a man who did

And what exactly did you mean by this the other day?

As far as stopping digging goes I'm in a win win situation ..................... I either find out who you and JD are or I end up in OZ .................... either way I have a big smile on my face.

Do you want me to give you 21 to hide ready go 1...........2...........3..............4.................5..............

You never did say why finding out who we are is such an imperative, and the second part of your message speaks for itself.

So why is your crowning achievment to stop drivers from doing just that?

The aim of the restriction is to stop everyone from gaining access into the trade in an area where there is no management of operation.

This restriction is temporary and should be in place until such time as the council can be assured of a superior quality standard from those entrusted to carry the licence.

The aim should be the right people driving the right number of vehicles.

Skull suggests that I believe myself to be whiter than white ............. whereas I just consider myself to be professional in my approach and have pride in the service I offer. I can only imagine that Skulls couldn't give a fook attitude has landed him in quite a bit of trouble, the accusations that he has more than one count of assault against him seems to suggest his attitude could well question his fitness and propriety.

I don't want thugs driving taxis ............... I don't want them tarnishing MY reputation or the reputation of the profession we all choose to work in, it seems others aren't so bothered and just use the "quality" argument to try and substantiate their otherwise self centred argument.

But if the restrictions you want had happened say 5 years ago, then many of the folks you represent now would be not be owners.

And they would be forced to work under the ops you don't think too highly of.

No Sussex ................. if the changes had happened 5 years ago we would have entry to the trade controlled by professional standards and not by numbers.

By the end of this year people who wish to act proffessionally as a professional driver within our industry will be able to ........................... and those who couldn't give a fook can just fook off.

We either start looking after our punters and each other or we will have no trade ......................... its really as simple as that.
