Taylor the Jade Goody of the trade? Nope, he is just an arrogant upstart with a big mouth who is incapable of debate (maybe he is Jade then?). He knows he has been exposed as a liar and a pathetic human being. Rather than defend his position by stating facts or answering questions, he will continue to insult the Cab trade, most of whom are far superior to him in intellect anyway :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

:wink: And somebody had the cheek to say that he was a well respected member of the Edinburgh trade: :wink: :wink:

I'm deeply honoured by your support.

Without brothers like you, it would be difficult to carry on the good fight.

May your God go with you!

No, you're right, it's not an English breed, the wife brought it back from her last holiday, she said it was something called a snow leopard, big buger it is, had to buy a new three-seater settee just for it. we used to have two alsatians but they seem to have vanished :oops:

Terry I would not call it a brilliant article, if you are going to quote "instances" that have happened, please have the good grace to give the full story.

Before I go any further I will give you credit for not naming me, which does go to show that you do have some tact, having said that I have never been afraid to stand up and be counted. The bottom line is that if you want to name me then do so, I always deal with the truth so I have nothing to be afraid of.

One, you should have stated that the person concerned did not go in with a representative was because although he was a trade unionist many years ago, he now does not have any faith in them. As such he is capable of representing himself and therefore has also declined to fill the pockets (high salaries) of union bosses who by and large do not have any teeth.

Two, your constant snipes at the Welsh regarding lack of militant tendency's does not wash. Our history will show that we have been constantly suppressed (wages) over the decades and will also show the fight that has gone with it, so much so like many areas around the U.K our manual industry has been decimated, whilst the unions stood back and watched it happen. You might have noticed a little village "Treorchy" has grabbed the headlines regarding "Burbery" so the fight is still there.

Two, What are you doing extolling the virtues of "Vote for Labour" this Labour party are not the Labour party of years ago. What you had with this lot was a rebranding exercise, they are more Conservative than the Conservative party ever were, to the point of being extreme.

Vote for FIVE HOMES TONY and TWO JAGS JOHN you are having a laugh.

I do not doubt that your heart is in the right place, but try and look at the overall picture - smell the roses, the coffee - whatever - but look at the way that the people you are saying to vote for, are filling their boots.

A very good post, It is slightly annoying when people make the assumption that they are more qualified to deal with a situation because you are obviously not.... commonsense is something you're born with and not something you can teach.

Let's face it, after what we have seen Labour do, would anybody with commonsense vote them in again.... and Have you noticed how many of them are lawyers, and how well off the illegal profession has been left after their term in Office.... allegedly 8) :wink:

Listen John amd MrT my main fear is that there are people STUPID enough to vote in the Tory Vermin, dark blue version.I have continously expressed my contempt for this Blairite shower, but i believe theres change in the air the party is ready to return to its pre WELSH windbag KINNOCKIO roots and i dont mean that other skunk James Callaghan morelike Aneurian Bevan.
Treorchy of course im aware of it and of course the GMB are involved i wish them success.
John why not write to the mag i am sure they will piblish your letter.
I believe the action you took was extremely dangerous to be unrepresented in such a situation unbelievable, you were lucky others with less than your ability could have sufferd catastrophic consequences, the warning was in our assesment ESSENTIAL. It is not meant in any way as a personal attack, you obviously have the right to do what you wish.
On another issue ,yes i am a gooner had a season for 45 seasons got priced out when my father died couldnt afford 2 of them.Must say i think the future looks extremely bright for us both our teams look pretty good to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
