Boys, and Toots (the man ), I don't think so.

If you don't have unrealistic expectations of what you can earn, your survival in a de-restricted market is assured

Listen jasbar, you fu*king fanny, I haven't said a word on this so quit with the chatting sh*t and stop assuming that I'm in the slightest bit interested about who's in charge of whatever in Edinburgh

Restriction in Edinburgh is in its death throes.

If you are thinking about selling out and can find a mug. I would do it now. However, if you are intending to stay in the trade, I would be looking forward to reducing costs with the added prospect of single shifting your taxi.

If you don't have unrealistic expectations of what you can earn, your survival in a de-restricted market is assured. It all comes down to, living within your means. A lot of new blood will enter the trade to replace those that can't hack it. And hopefully, the trade will evolve to take control of its own destiny, without having to go, cap in hand to the council.

I can't see the vested interests of the taxi trade being protected as an endangered species for much longer.


You have been warned.

As I've said before, I can't think of a single female who would conduct themselves the way you do, not even the butchest lesbian.

You're a charlatan and a liar. A dishonest scumbag charlatan and liar at that that.

But keep it up. It's very amusing

BTW What is "chatting sh*t"?

I'm a charlatan and a liar? Pmsl you tit. You practice one thing and preach another, where do you get off criticising anybody for the thier lifestyles and beliefs. You think that saying things about people makes it so but it doesn't and I'm above being bothered by your childish remarks about whom and what you think I am.

BTW chatting sh*t is something you do on a daily basis, in fact most likely an hourly basis, but hey, whom am I to criticise.

Now toddle off and leave the discussion to those who have something to say that's credible. Who have warned the trade about impending de-restriction, and how untenable and unsustainable it is. Who have exhorted the trade to beef up quality controls. All ignored because of vested interest.

So who would that leave in the discussion Jasbar?

My guess, himself and Skull. They only have time for their own opinions.

The friendly Scottish section has gone.

Perhaps a Skull and Jasbar only section would be a good idea.

IThis is why in any democratic setup, in a Union, an Association, a Council or even a Parliament, different points of view must be able to be heard. In these institutions however, personal abuse is banned. Majority rule is, after the debate, the only way forward if a true concensus can't be reached in these organizations.
