Taxi Driver Online

Agreed.


With the 3 tier system it has a large flaw, what is to stop a now non rankable hack sitting arcoss the road from a rank intercepting, it's basically pirating legally, and ain't there gonna be some fun if it should come into it, sleeves up time all day long, I do hope the Police aren't too busy to attend, imagine the paperwork for them as well, the court will need weeks of sessions just to do fighting cabbies, what a wonderful idea that will be, always remember, when a man has nothing to lose, he has nothing to lose, and in this day and age you aren't going to be talking two British drivers punching each other, it will be a knife weilding Kurd stabbing the Asian or vice versa, it should bring real meaning to the saying.....it was murder out there today.

You seem to forget that Mr Bird was a white indigenous person.

I don't think he mentioned that?

He like most operators would hate it.

However it will never happen. I wish it would, but it wont.

Agree Brum, then numbers would over time find there own levels, no WAV required as they could be left to specialised company's

I agree with most of the post on this subject, in particular those by C.C.

However I believe the Northern Ireland situation is an experiment for all of us. I believe a system of only allowing WAV hacks to rank in towns and at transport terminals is in fact the only way to maintain any sort of WAV fleet.

The biggest losers will be those with a number of plate values and the large PH companies. PH drivers as we know them now will be able to approach Hotels and business's directly, they will also use new tech system's such as "Hailo". There is no need to pay switch money. You just do jobs when you like on a "haircut" basis.

I can live with that lot losing bundles.

I can live with that as well. there are some complete p*ss takers here in Manchester.

Have you considered the little guy whose doing it all by the book though, how about him, doesn't he deserve some respect?


The way things are the Taxidoctor seems to think the cure to get rid of Hitler is to kill all Germans, as we all know there were as many German victims in WW2 as everyone else, innocent people minding their own business who then not only had to suffer being tar brushed as ****'s, then fell victim to the full wraith of vengence from the Russians and the Allies.

Me, if this costs me my livelyhood I am going straight to the top to seek compensation for both my investment value and loss of income for my remaining working years both on a physical and mental level, if Bosman can do it in football, I will do it in my working enviroment also, and I won't be the small guy this time as plans are in place for some major league funding to fight with, think I'm bluffing, look at the landlady that took Sky down, there is only one cartel to fight, and it's the one trying to wreak havoc on an industry that until ten years ago had no interest to speculators.

EDIT - And I'm not talking individual either, I'm going for full compo for every license holder in the country.

If you want to help kill the speculator then I'm all for it, but do not nuke a city when you can take out the target in one building.

I think we just need look at what the LF's have done to the boozers up and down the country......with their insane smoking ban.

The fact boozers are closing suggests to me that non smokers didnt really go to the pubs an awful lot......possibly because they're at home eating proper food whilst reading the guardian.

Rather than people going to the pub now, drinking alcohol in a controlled environment, people stay at home, smoke and drink themselves silly.

To answer this problem the government are to wage war on cheap supermarket alcohol......which is another LF idea.

Rather than surround themselves with people who actually live in the real world....consecutive governments surround themselves with lackey's and intellectuals.....people who are very intelligent....but know sweet FA.

A controlled environment!!! You are having a laugh. How come there are so many drunks around the town centres if drinking in town centres is controlled? When was the last time you saw a bar tender or bar owner prosecuted for serving someone who was already drunk?

Grandad,

Are you suggesting bar tenders are regularly breaking the law....or the police / local authorities aren't enforcing it?

Both.
How many times do you see a fight break out when some drunk has been thrown out of a pub by a bouncer? And how many times have the police tried to find out how the person got drunk?

Have you heard of the Carlisle State Management Experiment instituted in Carlisle, Gretna and Enfield Lock during World War One?

CONVICTIONS FOR DRUNKENNESS.

HC Deb 26 October 1916 vol 86 c1278 1278

Sir ERNEST LAMB

asked the Minister of Munitions the most recent returns for drunkenness in the areas under the Central Control Board compared with the figures for previous periods; and if he will state in detail the figures regarding Carlisle?

Mr. MONTAGU

I will circulate the figures asked for in the first part of the question. As regards the second part of the question, for Carlisle the convictions for drunkenness in the fourteen weeks since the middle of July, about which time the Board's scheme of direct control began to be put into effective operation, have reached a total of 183. For the immediately preceding fourteen weeks the total was 380.—

Seems to me one problem is the cost of a radio each week, I can understand the guys finding this hard and some companies charge an extortionate rate, the old way to this was pay per job, this was fair, the driver only paid on what he'd earned, the company only got paid on what they provided, now it's I'll have yer money and if you don't like it feckoff.


If the taxi trade has one failing it's the meglomaniac that now has too much power and too much money and too much say on things that are nothing to do with them, if anything this commission should be solely investigating PH, PH is where the laundering and drugs are happening amongst other crimes, making things open only makes the process easier for the villians.

Now it's this easy, one man one plate, increase in demand otr you issue a 3 year plate, after 3 years the SUD says if the plate is renewed or not, that's called managing, something the educated are clearly not capable of in any capacity and as proven many times in history.
