Suddenly evidence and proof are required on this site,

Does this not apply to you?

I never said your accusation was wrong, I merely asked you to supply evidence that it was right. We have no way of knowing what the situation is and nor do we really care. What anyone does in respect of plates in restricted authorities is entirely up to them.

I haven't read any comments elsewhere attributed to the Salteri's but I can fully understand both Jim and Garry's position. On our part TDO offers what limited talent it has free of charge and we are quite happy to get satisfaction from the results we obtain. I suppose that puts to bed any misunderstanding people might have on how we operate. If TDO can offer assistance or advice then it will glady do so. It doesn't matter who or what they represent if we can help then we will, Simple as that.

I stated it was a FACT not an opinion - prove me wrong is all I ask. :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

Why, when most of what is pronounced on here is accepted as fact (I refer to Jim Taylors vile taunting of an innocent disabled woman) yet suddenly you're asking me for proof :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

It takes more than your say so to make something a fact. Until there is evidence, it is only your opinion

Fact - Edinburgh plates are being sold for profits of tens of thousands of pounds.

Opinion - the Salteris are better at profiteering then other Edinburgh plateholders.

:D

Some one threw himself off the North Bridge this afternoon. Apparently he went through the glass roof and fell onto a false ceiling. It seems he survived. :shock:


What am I thinking? :shock:

That’s another plate up for sale in the Edinburgh Evening News.

Two plates; the first has been up for sale for 3 weeks.


I wonder what TC thinks about this?

the problem i have skull is not with the authorities its with someone fighting for change and winning then doing a u turn and making cash out of it thats just wrong and does the cause no favours at all it just makes it look like they were out for a quick buck and if de reg comes they have left someone with a nightmare to pay off i hope they sleep well and enjoy the cash.



Whether you buy in and work the cab, or sell up and cash in, you are not doing anything wrong. The system does not put a limit on how many times people can apply. Nor does it put a limit on the amount of cabs you can own, run, or sell.

I know one guy who owns 9 cabs and doesn’t have a taxi license.

The whole point is everyone sees the system from an angle that is to their benefit. You might not agree with another person’s point of view but everyone is playing by the rules - until it’s decided otherwise in a court of law.

If someone ends up with a nightmare to pay off then the system has changed – nothing more nothing less. De-restriction has been on the cards for the last two years.

I would also make the point that it was inevitable that the plate system had to cave in under its own weight. :-|

Whats it about? I had a glance through and apart from a few editorials it looked like a clone of the TDO news section.

I suppose the other clone will be out in the next few days so we can read our old news all over again.

You are a laugh. The stuff on here has already been printed somewhere else before it goes on here , so the people that publish it first deserve the credit.
