So, the merger goes ahead?

What "salary" will the committee men get to "run" the new expanded empire?

Murray for £70 grand?

The Dodester for £60 grand?

Colin Anderson - you remember him, he was going to clean up Central's act - he's gotta be on £50 grand

:lol:

Nae problem though, the increased radio fees will cover members' largesse :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Dig deep Dougie. Dig deep :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

BTW In case you wonder, and I don't care if you do, I want the merger to go ahead. I implore members to suupport it :wink:

should the merger go ahead then any radio circuit fees are going down in price for the next few years

"The radio circuit fees are going down in price for the next few years". Are you on drugs? No one can make that prediction. Wait until the airport is up for tender and the PH come in with a big offer. It will be better it, or you are out on your ar*e.

All the ugly sisters ever do is buy the work, and put up radio dues. What an erse you are Longshanks.

:roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

Speak to your sweetie wife pals at haymarket skull and ask them if the prediction for circuit fees are to drop if the merger happened?

One building = less staff, less equipment, less overheads etc

Yet you predict that the fees rise


Your a prize one skull, I'll give you that

Your circuit fees are based on today's economic environment and the savings aren't that great.

What will be the cost of the new super committee? This merger is not about the membership of CRT and City Cabs getting a good deal.

It's all about the committees feathering their own nests. :-|

Has a decrease in circuit fees been promised to the drivers if a merger goes ahead?

In my experience if you have more drivers you need more telephonists to take more work/calls, thus needing a bigger building which ultimately costs more to run. It would be nice and probably feesible to reduce circuit fees but unless it's agreed prior to a merger there are no guarantees for the drivers

Not if both company's have got excess office space and under worked telephonists.

Grandad, I think it was a typo - gnat - unless our Scottish friends have a different answer.

If that be the case then a merger of two companies that keep telephonists they don't need in a space that's too big for them will be nothing short of a disaster :lol:

When were drivers ever on the radar in either of these two companies far lee given any guarantees.

Murray's carving up the pile for Murray, not for the drivers.

If anyone is going to make a mint it's gonna be Murray :lol: It'll be a MurrayMint (Sorry, couldn't resist it :lol: )


Let's hope the merger goes ahead
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

It's the old "Art of War" adage. When the enemy is intent on destroying itself, all you have to do is nothing :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

That would be the point of the merger. :roll: You can put all the receptionists that you require in to one office. Get rid of the other office and get rid of the surpluss telephonists.

That's all well and good in theory, but taxi firm mergers are a different kettle of fish.

Loads and loads of egos all fighting to be top dog.

I'm inclined to agree with Sussex albeit for different reasons :wink:
