Terry did say, that his father was in the war, but I don't remember him saying which side he was on.

He said that last year, out of all of the 45,000 licensed PH vehicles, he only had 61 complaints.
I get that many in a night! :D :shock:
Most of the cars at my firm are under 5 years old and the cars are nearly always clean. I just wished the drivers were the same quality.

basically hes saying that its the asians, the blacks and the africans that do all the illegal touting in London, and that they get everything on a plate and that the working class white population doesn't! i must admit that thier is some validity in his argument - oh and he likes to shout to be heard, dont you Mr Cabman?

We got a tug the other night picking up from 02, strange they checked all of our licenses drivers and vehicle prodded the tyres a bit too, but never thought to contact the operator, (me) to see if my drivers and myself had prebooked legimatate booking. We of course did.

Figures can as we know always be manipulated, especially when our friend Ken is involved.

It does not help jo public when PH in London is described as "Taxi drivers" by the media, when there is problem noteworthy enough for the regional news.

Must infuriate the black taxi drivers, and I dont mean by definition the colour of their skin :roll:

We are always getting touted in London when we park up for a bite when we are on a wait & return it's rife. Always suited and booted look like business people.

Mostly, not that I have first hand experience of complaints you understand, as we do not get any, jo public just do not know who to complain to so I guess mostly do not bother.

Well I don't see or hear many Mr Smith's or Jones asking folks if they would like a 'Taxee' in a British accent Mr 187ums.

The Minicab trade in London relies heavily on immigrants, and not on the native population of London.

You're not quite correct in the skin colour dept though, there are now sufficient white east Europeans trying their hand at the touting game, that the ethnic balance is improving by the day.

Yes it's becoming quite a popular pastime. As I predicted, they now walk around wearing their PCO I.D cards pointing to their new 'Private Hire' stickers in an effort to convince people that they are legit.

Instant car crush upon conviction, that's the way forward.
