in for a penny in for a pound :lol: :lol: :lol:

the majority of guys i know that are on rentals do not want to buy in or get a plate if things go the way of a free for all
most these guys were ex PH owners and just got sick of running there own motors and saddled with loans for motors and are quite happy to pay a rental.

remember when you work in a market which has no limit things are 10x harder thats why they are bailing out of the PH trade and in to the Taxi trade. PH here is in decline the numbers have fallen in the last year now that tells a story in its self that right now is not the time to open the flood gates.

see the invertebrate gladstones at it again :roll: :roll:

"Despite all the noise being made by certain people, the latest info (freely available from the council) is that, to date, 2 applications for licences have been lodged.

Further searches reveal that both applications were made by "Comet Commercial Vehicles Ltd." And guess who the sole director of that company is?

Yup, Ali Turnbull at his home address - the one he published here a few days ago.

So much for the flood of applications then!!"

a few people have made comment on alans interpretation of free speech
according to alan its all in the public domain,and no comment was invited on his post :lol: :lol: :lol:

ffs alan i told you all days ago that i was applying.no news there. :roll:
it may well be in the public domain alan,but its not on any website,you need to sneak about and poke youre nose into others business to find it out.
we all know youre a past master at that mr peepers. :mrgreen:
you had better warn those that disagree with you on that bastion of free speech you call a forum, that subservience is expected,failure to comply will result in a ban.

why do you delude yourself that you have control :?: :?: :?:


grow a spine alan.ffs
