I didn't see the new Merc, but then again as it was not there, it's no surprise.

I did like the new Caravelle though, and one of my mates is going to get one. Even managed to talk the LOs into allowing some changes, at the show for him. :D

He had a good day, me well more later. :wink:

A dressing down is that what you call it Geoff???? The problem with him is he doesn't like the truth thrown at him, he's had his arse kicked out of London and he don't like it so now he's focusing on the minicab trade in London, he'll stab the cabbies in the back like he's stabbed everybody else in the back on his road to fortune. He's still not answered my questions though Geoff, is he good in bed because you seem to be at the side of him????

Nige,
you seem to think you are a hard hitter,
but you are sounding very bitter,
What has Jubille done to recive your bile?
its just more advertising that will make a pile.

so a dressing down you recieved from Mike,
that sent you packing on yer bike,
but you attempted to decieve,
a thick ear you was bound to recieve

When will your web be back on site?
so you can have another bite.
rules you make for every other
but if anyone breaks them you try to smother

stick to the rules so simple and plain
instead of expecting others to take the blame,
nice though to see you back,
lets hope these administrators dont give you the sack.

Paddington Bill.


Geoff you really are an a******* don't give up the day job.

And that is the Nidge who set up his own forum where you had to grovel to join to stop folks abusing each other when they disagreed with their views. :lol:

Nige
I dont know why you are attacking him like this, it is disgusting and its appauling, unfair and unwarrented personalised attacks.

you also need to explain correctly and procisely, why you are actively talking up LTI.

its doing you no good at all you are looking as if you are in thier pay, you also need to explain exactly why you said my company was private hire when you knew that was a lie, first time I have used the word.

I dont actually know if you have lied about Mike but I know you have lied and repeated it about me and my company, forever more then you will be tainted in my eyes.

the omens are not good, if there is an argument between a cabbie we shopuld always lean towards the cabbie, but you are tainted.

another lie is that I have a day job, everybody knows that my job is at nights.

give it a reast Nige, we need solid information not twisted truth and lies, as for mike supplying the private hire trade so what for gods sake?

wond your car do for a private hire car? dont be so high and mighty, cos they are knocking you off your perch

Geoff

Well I think that Jubilee would be mad not to supply anyone who wants to buy one of there vehicles.

Are we saying no more Mondeos, Skodas, Vectras etc are to be used as HC, cos those heathen PH boys use them, or visa versa.

Makes no sense at all. :?

No Andy,
Nige is a bit off line on this he isnt being clear at all, incidentaly Jubille supply only wa vehicles, but they supply anyone that wants one.

the Merc Hackney, is the only line thats only for taxi drivers, just one line

some how Nige has got the lti blarb that they (jubillee)are the touts company and only LTI, are dedicated to taxi drivers whickh of course is untrue, you could go into a showroom and buy LTI tomorow.

Nige has gone macho on this so has mick.

dont know how they have the nerve

The thing is Wharfy, if the TX's are so f***ing good, why don't they both just go out and buy a couple. :?

What's wrong with having a choice?

If the lads in London don't like them, guess what, I doubt they will buy them. :D

But is it down to a union to tell drivers who they must buy from?

Times have changed, alas some drivers are living in the past. :(

Is that Mike Holland of Jubilee you're talking about there Nidge?

Well I don't know if he had anything to do with it, but as you'll know TfL are re-reviewing their revised Conditions of Fitness, which were supposed to be set in stone for 10 years at least.

That's seems mainly due to legal action by Cab Direct, but presumably if they get in, all the rest will as well, including Jubilee.

wond your car do for a private hire car? dont be so high and mighty, cos they are knocking you off your perch

Geoff


Geoff the solid information is in the testing, these vehicles were tested before they were converted "not after". All I said to the London lads was I'm glad I didn't buy one because I was close to signing on the dotted line for one, seeing them in action I'm glad I didn't, I told them all the problems that we were having with them up here like the steep step, the ramps were to steep to push a wheelchair on, loads of noise, water leaks, broken door handles, Doors going out of line etc etc. They drive nice and look nice Geoff but put 200,000 on the clock and see how they drive then.

WELL if thats your understanding Nige its no wonder you are confused,
is this the crap my union tells you or is it a guess?

both the tx1 and the pergeot contverted was tested in exactly the same way and have exactly the same certificate.

the ccars had dummies belted in and they were smashed up against a wall at 50mph.

nige how did you think they are tested?
