Do they still allow big bellies?

2 drivers have been told they do not qualify for permit, basicly they are too scruffy in dress sense and attitude, no boots to be worn, only dress shoes in black, no jewellery to the neck, ears or wrist, one driver was told to remove gold, wedding ring accepted, no tattoos showing, no beards, no unshaven shadow, no hats to be worn unless it is the whippet type flat cap, no pony tails, no logos at all on blue shirt doesn't matter how small, trousers must be trousers in black, they are coming down like a ton of bricks, first offence 3 day suspension from the railway rank, next time slung off the rank with no coming back and loose your 500 quid.

Just heard on the grapeline re those drivers that choose to go for York GNER taxi permit have had a quick inspection of troops, 2 drivers have been told they do not qualify for permit, basicly they are too scruffy in dress sense and attitude, no boots to be worn, only dress shoes in black, no jewellery to the neck, ears or wrist, one driver was told to remove gold, wedding ring accepted, no tattoos showing, no beards, no unshaven shadow, no hats to be worn unless it is the whippet type flat cap, no pony tails, no logos at all on blue shirt doesn't matter how small, trousers must be trousers in black, they are coming down like a ton of bricks, first offence 3 day suspension from the railway rank, next time slung off the rank with no coming back and loose your 500 quid.

no medical doctors notes accepted for those who have a problem wearing a tie

It seems to me at this time, the women taxi drivers can dress differently,or are at the moment, but not quite clear on that as yet.

Zeig Heil, Zeig Heil.

Block the fu****s station for 2 day's, see if that relaxes their attitude.

Oops silly me, this is the taxi trade, drink ups and brewerys come to mind.

Zeig Heil, Zeig Heil.

but hey in law they can only give it to hackney carriages, but they choose to go down the road of paying for it by means of permits

It was tried 6 or 7 years ago the whole lot came out and blocked the Stn as the boss of the taxi company was on holiday, 38 shareholders run the taxi business down at the station, with about 120 cabs including independants useing the place It caused a lot of panic , with GNER pleeding for them to come back in, the boss of the taxi company came back off holiday the next day, he shouted back to work lads, got his shareholder men back in and others followed, it was back to normal

The reason why is that the taxi shareholder company gets all the railway credit work, a lot of good work, they don't want to loose it, but hey in law they can only give it to hackney carriages, but they choose to go down the road of paying for it by means of permits

I'm not involved with the shower at the station, as said before that station rank could being on another planet and stay there.

In fact I think a lot of railway/tube work in London is now done by licensed vehicles other than the black cabs.

Zeig Heil, Zeig Heil.

is it asking too much for drivers not to look like a sack of s***?
