Can anyone take anything Sadrock on Fasties says seriously.

Consider his latest incoherent rant:-

As ever your version and the truth are poles apart. If you stopped a moment and read what was posted. I did say "What and advertise a site devised and written by apparent homosexuals who are too good for us mere mortals?"

Given your inability to comprehend plain English, this really means that I want nothing to do with your lies, your venom and your offensive self or your site. Although it may be politically incorrect, I find homosexuality somewhat distasteful and accordingly want no links to such site to appear here. So crawl back into your hole and leave us normal people in the real world.

You are becoming more deluded by the day. To talk of us as slaves....dear me, I think it's about time you sought treatment. You may well be a danger to the public as well as yourself now.

The day that either you or your rantings worry or scare me is the day that hell freezes over. Once you understand that and/or have the balls to confront me personally then perhaps reality will hit you.

btw this is an extract from your site's terms and condidions. It must be a little quirk on here that some words change automatically to weblogs.

I have emphasised the bit that Garry missed!!!

A repeated violation of this Policy may cause cancellation of service without refund of any fees.

Sadrock has lost it.

He's so unstable, doesn't it suggest that he presents a danger to the public?

What is the reference to homosexuals about? And, in any case, how does a homophobe get to hold a public licence?

And he's "normal"?

Pornographic, violent or sexually explicit in nature? What is he wittering about?

"It must be a little quirk on here that some words change automatically to weblogs. "

Doesn't this suggest that Sadrock is having some kind of breakdown?

Is it any wonder that the taxi trade is in such dire straits with uncle toms like Sadrock being held up as "representative" of the views of the trade?

I warrant, it's long overdue for the council to get real and sort this mess out before any more of the restrictive practice merchants in Edinburgh embarrass themselves, the council and the trade.

The rest of the planet must be laughing in ridicule at the way views like this are represented.

He is afraid as he can't edit posts on Mr Skull's site.

The truth will out.

Alan G is worth ten of jasbar any day and as for losing it, Jasbar lost the plot years ago. He is a fecking laughing stock in Edinburgh. nobody even talks to him now.

Well Alan G is deluding himself about the Button connection and Graham Ansboro (sp?) has nothing to do with this site either, so if he's the best you can do then that's fine by TDO

Search this forum and he'll find that the Button connection was raised a year or two ago and we had a good laugh about it then.

Assuming there was a connection with James Button and we didn't want that known, would we really register the domain in the name of someone called Button

But if anyone wants to continue to make the association then I'm sure I and others will regard it as a compliment

The problem Mr Fasties has is that he is nowhere near enough as bright as he thinks he is.

In fact on this issue he is as thick as pigs poo.

Funny thing is John T I talk to all those I choose to talk to. No problem there. But you seem to have some idea that I should be unhappy because I choose not to spend my time on ranks bumping my chops about how bad things are. I'd rather drive past a bustling taxi rank, drive round the corner, pick up a fare who's trying to hail a taxi and put some food on the table.

Taxi ranks in Edinburgh are like wet nurse social clubs, little covens where drivers can go to exercise their jaws.

As for Alan G? I suspect the guy is having ego problems. I read recently that he has failed at everything he's touched. I don't know for sure but he's certainly failed to garner any credibility in taxi matters.

Remember the E7 debacle? How they were bad for the trade, they weren't taxis and no one wanted them?

Look around you, they are everywhere. Edinburgh has wall to wall E7's. I heard recently that the local LTI dealer offer £1500 trade in where CabDirect offered 3 times that. Seems if you want a deal then the E7 is the one.

On this issue alone Gladstone got it woefully wrong. Just like every other issue he's pontificated on.

Having been a slaveowner himself, who sold out, it is curious that he seeks to protect a system that is restrictive and doesn't exist anywhere else in the free market.

Now look at Fasties John T. I doubt there is a thread on this site which attracts less hits than the sum total of all Fasties posts in a week. It has died. Another Sadrock failure. And a failure because he doesn't allow free speech, only the narrow perspective in Sadrock's own limited intellect.

I just hope that my recent posts trying to bring some common sense to Cablag hasn't energised it.

How does any of this translate into lower rentals, lower plate “values”, greater Job security and more work?

Yes, that’s right gentlemen the game is fecked and it’s only going to get worse. Now tell me LongshanksED, why a driver should not be allowed his own plate to compete in his own market on a level playing field?

I should add; without paying 50K

What do the majority of jockies want Skull.

It seems to me that they are under some illusion that if they get a free plate that they would be able to sell it for £40k.

It has also been suggested that you, Mr Skull, have had a free plate and sold it for £40k ................... I think it would only be fair to expect you to respond to that alleged transaction ................... as claims that the current situation in Edinburgh are so unfair need hi-lighting if they have come from a man who has had a plate and chose to sell it in the same way he is calling his colleagues worse than $hite for doing.

It seems that its one rule for skull and one rule for everyone else ...................... still I see the logic .................. get a plate and sell it ................... buy a vehicle with the proceeds and then call for the plate values to be abolished by giving them out upon request to get one for the vehicle bought with the money obtained from the sale of the plate.

Nice work if you can blag it ........................

TF pi$$ed on his chips.

Maybe he would feel pangs of guilt if the plug was pulled and the person sold the pup was left with a worthless plate while the seller still had his unjustly gained booty in the bank.

Those who posit the huge gamble of plate purchase as some kind of investment are at the very least going to be left with egg on their faces if it goes belly up, and presumably those with any scruples may also feel a tad of remorse.

I think someone in the GMB may be have that particular sword of Damocles hovering over them, thus the need to continue with the investment pretence.

But is it all down to de-limitation, or is it partly down to your council licensing vehicles not up to the job?

But how could they licence vehicles not up for the job if they didn't issue licenses willy nilly.

I would say that the licensing of rear loading WAV had as great an impact as deregulation of numbers.

But I would say that many drivers of long standing are now being forced into Doblo's as they can't afford a good quality vehicle where wheelchair users can board the vehicle from the pavement instead of the road.
Many people identify that the council use rear loading vehicles themselves, but what they don't point out is that they are crewed by two people and they generally work from and to facilities where they can reverse into a specific drop off area.

Its about the right number of the right people driving the right vehicles ................ its called quality control and in order to achieve it the authorities need to control every aspect.

Tell me TDO, what are the propspects of someone having been sold a plate taking legal action to recover the money he's paid for something the seller did not own?

I realise that what is being sold is the Company, but as we all know the Company is naught without the plate. No plate the Company has no worth. All its value is invested in the plate which can not be owned?

Is this entirely covered by Caveat emptor in legal terms?

In the same way as most other councils are going at the moment.

No number's restrictions, high vehicle standards.

You know it makes sense.

I beg to differ.

I would say not more than a dozen or so councils license the Doblo as a taxi WAV.
