now calm down the point I was making is you should not keep asking personal questions if you arnt going to reveal some about yourself.
that dusty is double standards.

Let's rewind a bit Geoff, I said to Maurice, in the context of closed and open lists, that I admired how Call Sign wasn't afraid to air their shortcomings in public.
I then wondered which circuit Maurice was with, because I knew he'd disclosed this in the past.
Also, there's a certain double standard with some in the London trade tarring all minicab drivers with the same brush when some of the black cabbies started as minicab drivers. Thus I enquired, in a tongue-in-cheek manner, as to whether Maurice had taken that route.
Maurice didn't have to answer, but he did, if he'd said that he didn't want to reveal his past then that was up to him, but he didn't.
I've revealed quite a lot about myself in the past, but not my identity, Maurice chose to reveal his, and that's his choice.
I said yonks ago that I had a background in accountancy, which is as much detail as Maurice revealed about his background above, so surely we're both happy??
As I've said, I've been a taxi driver about half a dozen years, first as a jockey, then my own car, as I've told you in the past.
Considering the size of London, that's narrows me down as much as Maurice's revelations have narrowed him down, he has revealed his name, and that is his choice.
I want people to be able to air their views, not worry about who is looking over there shoulder, so that's why if people choose to remain anon then they can, and they don't even have to register.
Anyone can reveal as much or as little about themselves as they want, if anyone opens their mouth and reveals something about you, Maurice or anyone else that you don't want made public then just say and it will be deleted ASAP.
