your saying the above

After saying this


I accept how power works, Every man has the oppertunity to climb the ladder of capitalism, (with investment of course), until he is happy when finding his level, i'm happy at my level, just enough for a good life


Im a little confused

I couldn't have made it simpler for you

Climb the ladder until you find your level through investment, the higher you go the more power you gain

I found the level i'm happy with but if you want to operate at a higher level good luck to you but you/should will pay more the higher level you go

cant be bothered explaining the flaws with your idea to you dougie your to retarded to take it in.so instead ill just blow it out the water. :wink:

if that ever came to pass multi plate holders would just have the plates in individual companies,as it is now in fact.

thus avoiding this rich tax of yours.
thus no way to do it.

“the higher you go, the more power you gain“ what are you on about? You have no power. You are a slave to their illusion. It's whoever controls your illusion that has the power. You are the one with the dependency and financial burden. You just get to pretend.

Christ, this is becoming like the movie, Toy Story. :roll:

I take it you are asking WHAT is the benefit to the Hack Trade?

Protecting the Trade for individuals, guy's like me who are just out to make an honest living, I only have 1 licence, making the Trade un-attractive to infiltraitors and profiteers who are the REAL enslavers of our trade

Private Reggie said, this trade should be about individuals

What about the individual who cant afford £50,000 and dont foget the interest on the loan. If you did not have to pay this your £60000 better off straight away. what about the individuals who have never paid this, the system made them £50000 better off straight away,

and the individuals chucked out the airport

or the highland show

or the pollock halls

balmoral hotel

there is nothing individual about joining city cabs or central although both companys are good at what they do...... making money

I take it simple arithmatic is not your thing

If you pay a yearly rental times it by 5 say £300 a week £15,000 grand a year times 5 = £75,000 have you got that?

Now take these figures to your bank manager and if you have 3 years accounts plus a percentage up front you should have no problems getting the money to invest in yourself

After 5 years you will still have the value in your plate say 40k so you have saved 40k over what you would have paid in rental, meaning your 5 years would have cost only 35k not counting the cost of your Taxi ect

Toots, you are a head case. You and Dougie, should get it together. Saying that I am starting to think you might have been separated at birth. There must be a genetic link in there somewhere, an alien abduction perhaps.


Oh shock, surprise my opinion isn't the same as Jabars. Your point?


I've cracked it. Head case Toots and head case Dougie are Corsican twins. Spilled out of the regular inter-galactic intellgence mission by extra=terrestrial intelligencies who recognise there is no understanding of the wit of mankind by trawling the inner recesses of what passes as minds of the Toots/Dougie combine.

Toots can be the right toots and dougie can be the left toots. A real couple of toots :wink:

Isn't it amazing that even in this preposterous scenario Dougie is still not right? :lol:


I didn't expect anything less than a trivial attempt at humour from you tbh. I suppose extraterrestrial is a little different than superhero taxi driver in a wonder car :wink:

The rules of the Trade that where in place long before i became a cabbie!!!

I recommend you learn the rules by asking what is the norm within our Trade in Edinburgh

I didn't mind paying for the right to use an old boy's plate, i only paid £17,000 but hey the old boy after 35 years of investing in new taxi's i'm quite sure no one grudges the old boy the 17k i paid, this was 9 years ago.

I'm thinking you are new to the Taxi trade

Alan Sugar, makes investments and sells illusions. You, Dougie, purchased an illusion. Alan Sugar, is the man behind the curtain. You, Dougie, are like Dorothy in the Wizard of OZ, “off to see the Wizard”. The yellow brick road is taking you all the way back to, de-restriction. You're going back to Kansas, Dorothy. The dream is almost over.

After 35 years in the trade the old boy should have earned enough from that licence to have a retirement so why should he be able to sell the licence, it should just go back to the council that issued it and given to the person at the top of the list who has waited the longest for it. I don't agree with de-restriction, but, I don't agree with the buying and selling of licences either
