I operated a private hire vehicle in 1973.74.75. and 76 . some councils where licensing on their own initiative , the private hire trade national where lobbying the Government for legislation, just as you are doing now. and good luck to you.

Daz these guys are clearly on a crusade and hell bent on ruining the industry so no matter what is said as is clearly evident they will twist it,


So a few questions are asked about a scheme that even Mr S6 admits isn't wholly satisfactory, and that means we're hell bent on ruining the industry?

Sounds very like the taxi cartels when they know they've been rumbled - try to demonise those who question.

Even some in the limo trade regard this as a scam, so your claims seem pretty pathetic in that context. :lol:

Personally i dont see why you are even bothering to answer their questions anymore :D Just look at TDO's most recent responses, says it all really :lol


You mean you've tried to answer them? :lol:

Perhaps you should have a go, because Mr S6 didn't do too well.

How about starting with the rapists and murderers one? :?

I wouldn't be surprised if the "agency" isn't in fact just Mr S6 Conversion specialist in another room. Or perhaps just on a different phone. :lol


Why, would that pose a problem?


Well it would demonstrate the artificial nature of the arrangement.

But then we knew that anyone, as the limo representative called it 'convuluted' and 'inventive' :roll:

It is a sad man who has to laugh at his own jokes especially when they are as bad as this one. Must try harder.

Since when have you been qualified to speak for the majority of the limo trade? What evidence do you have to support this claim?

So educate us then No tips and tell us about your vast knowledge of the industry and how you have spent most of your free time lobbying and moving the industry forward .

Tell us how you started in the limo industry, why not give us limo ops a clue that the taxi chaps wont understand about who you are ?.........we all know this wont happen because like some others on here your a sad little man probably not much taller than a poodle with no life and it sticks in your throat that others have intelligence and respect in our chosen industry, something you would,nt even be able to spell right.

How many meetings have you had with the authourities?

How much influence have you had over the safety in build of limos?

How many coachbuilders do you advise?

Are you building a limo to Type Approval spec ?


Are you working with VOSA on the depleted brake vacum test and results for Chrysler 300,s?

Are you at your own expense supplying parts to Authourised Testing companies to modify the brakes, suspension etc on most limos as VOSA are much happier with being able to test vehicles properly than bein given loads B**lsh*t paperwork which some yank has dreamend up.?

Do Coachbuilders ring you to ask your advise on technical alterations to limos so they CONFORM,

I doubt you can answer yes to even 1 of these questions.

I heavily suspect i know who you are but time will tell. :wink:

Under what law did the council license vehicles? Did they make their own law up?

NO to all..but that does not give you a insight to the guys in the trade
you are so much up your own Arse you dont know what the majority think or want..
.but prove me wrong put a poll on talking limos for 8seat limo ops only ... "do you think self drive is a scam."...yes or no....
then dont play with the voting.....

It was entirely voluntary, nobody was forced to Licence, you might say that they were preparing themselves for the 1976 Act. as for which law I have no idea, but seeing as it was voluntary I don't really think it applies.

I must admit Trevor I find your original comments somewhat alarming. People don't rush to license anything, unless they have to? And when there is no law on the statute to be licensed under then how can Sefton even attempt at licensing vehicles where no provision in law exists?

Way back when, before the 1976 Act, private hire cars and drivers were mostly poorly maintained vehicles, and drivers of dubious character, not all obviously, now some private hire companies wanted to build professional and profitable businesses, they wanted to give confidence to their customers, as people do now, the ability to be able to advertise that their vehicles had been inspected and Licenced by the council was an asset worth paying for. I am not surprised that you would not understand this.
