It is clear why they have called it a taxi site. PH / Minicabs are the arse end of transport so what these people are trying to do is to blur the distinction. That is what they have done from the start. That is what old Suspect thought the The Office of Foolish Tendentiousness (OFT) was going to able to achieve.


I'm not trying to blur anything.

What I'm trying to do is to get as many people out of driving PHs, into HCs.

I would have thought you would have supported that. :wink:



Well in my manor advise them to do the knowledge then they could get out of the yolk of the likes of Mr Billy Goat.

Do you know any paid knowledge's then?

But I'm glad you say none of your colleagues would be happy paying £40,000, just for the right to own a HC vehicle.

So please don't object when other aren't best pleased about it either.

So, not being happy with PH and Hackney slagging each other off, PH and Hacks from other areas slagging each other off, WAVs and salllonns slagging each other off, part-time and full-time and so on and so on..

We now have Day Shift and Night shift slagging ech other off.

Jeez. Our trade really is progressing isn't it.

Sussex if you are so proud of the Private Hire Trade please explain why this site is called Taxi Driver Online and not Private Hire Driver Online.


Further to my previous posts over the issue of why TDO is called TDO, not T&PHDO, can I just pass on the views of Her Majesty's Government.

When up-dating the CRB proceedure, they came out with this definition of a Taxi Driver.

"taxi driver" means a driver of a hackney carriage vehicle who is required to be licensed by a person pursuant to section 46 of the Town Police Clauses Act 1847 and section 59 of the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1976 or pursuant to section 8 of the Metropolitan Public Carriage Act 1869, or a driver of a private hire vehicle who is required to be licensed by a person under section 51 of the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1976 or the Plymouth City Council Act 1975;

If it's good enough for the Queen, then it's good enough for me. :wink:

I don't know of ANY other proper knowledge. All this 24 hours to learn; "Where is the railway stn, were is the Grande Hotel, and where is the Candy Floss stand is not what I would call the Knowledge more a The Passing Acquaintance.

I don't see this as an analogy. I see the plight as entering with one set of rules and the rules changing half way through the game.

Isn't that what tens of thousands of taxi and PH drivers do all day, and all night, whilst they work? :wink:
