So the truth is now noticeably absent, over the last few days rumor control has it, that the thinker has put out a contract on him along with various new committee members.
I my self was approached while sat on the rank one evening, admittedly it was quite, and asked if i was up for a bit of extra work to protect the trade, needless to say i declined, and the masked man vanished in to the night, as swift as he had arrived on his Martin Dawes mountain bike, very nice it was to.
Hope that York can move on and upwards with regard committees and deregulation, sooner the better, then we can all have a nice quite life.

Nothing could be further from the truth, pardon the expression, I happen to like the truth, I have known and helped him for over 25 years, and like you I would like to move on, if you have time to bear grudges you are not doing enough with your life, the sooner we all start talking to each other the better all round.

Why waste yer breath, the OP is obviously a PHD, and as such as the site is called TDO he don't qualify, because no Private Hire Driver is a Taxi Driver, a Taxi is a rank car, a PHV isn't and doesn't carry the same title, I wish they'd make that clear when they licence them, as in todays PH world it seems to be ok to pull up on a rank, and be hailed in the street.

So the thinker, now claims to be a kind and considerate person, verging on a social worker with a degree in phraseology and psychic to , try looking at your previous post's, and tell me you want us to be one big happy family!
And yes he is right, i do have a lot of time on my hands, thanks to him and his superb negotiating skills, while putting the best interests of the trade first, Yer Right!!! Of course you were.
while sat around on these ranks, for the odd fare to woddle up, so that i can find the extortionate rent for the plate £225 a week, don't think private hire drivers pay that, do they Doom? And may i suggest you get your Psychic power checked out.
Forgive and forget, i did that along time ago, you should give it a go Thinker, and if anyone should move on?

you should have contacted me to negotiate your rent, the people I helped pay a lot less than that, come and talk to me it's not too late.

I just read the lets slag him off nature of your original post mate, you might not have intended it that way but that's how I read it, and I don't like ppl who do that sort of **it as I've met too many of them over the years.

225 to rent a plate is a lot of money, but it depends how much the area generates, but 225 isn't a lot if you can earn a Rio back off of it is it.

Come and see me David, or Kevin or whoever you are this week, I know where there will be a plate to rent in the near future for £150 per week I am willing to talk but are you?
