Import Pakistani drivers from Birmingham, Derby and Dewsbury give them a badge and sat nav and send them on their way.
That's what they've done on our firm and basically the phones have stopped ringing.
Every other firm in the district "will not" take them on because the people round here like English speaking drivers. Over the last month our phones have gotten quieter and quieter.
These drivers have been shipped in from the above and have been to the Council with their wives acting as an interpreter because the drivers can't speak English.
Over this last week they have lost us a major amount of work with not being able to find an address due to working with Sat Navs, over charging, reckless driving which was reported by another road user because one Pakistani driver nearly drove her off the road.
She was told by the office staff to phone the licensing officer at the Council with the cars registration and plate number, will anything be done?? Nah they'll play the race card and say to the Council "your being racist.
This is not the end of it either, there's 2 more starting next week and one of them has a beard that reaches to his trouser line, one of the women in the office said he's a dead ringer for Bin Laden, (he's going to have some fun on a Friday night)
When the guy who's running the show told one office staff that several more Pakistani's were starting she said "good it will make my job easier" he looked at her gone out and said "how's that then"? She said "for every Pakistani you set on these phones ring 10 times less each day" she said "I can sit here doing nothing all day taking the odd phone call and dragging my wage at the end of the week for doing next to nothing. His face was a picture.
The English drivers are getting that p1ssed off that many are on about leaving, one handed his gear in last night.
There is something that makes me smile out of all this, when you are on the rank and a Pakistani is in front of you a white person will walk past the Pakistan's car and get into a white drivers car, one said to me last night in very broken English, "why she no get in my car I was first in que"? The woman gladly told him she wanted an English speaking driver who knew where he was going and who didn't smell. Now that made my night that much I let her off with the fare.
