Why don't all the hackneys park up where the PH are picking up?? Be seen to be available. We did the same when we were getting @rse raped by the PH, we parked up outside the pubs and clubs they were picking up from.

Isn't that illegal if you don't have a rank outside said pubs and clubs :?

Yes but the Police won't be bothered because you are clearing the town. We never got any tickets.

but if they were only stopping for a fag/tea/read the paper break it would be fine, surely? :wink:

and if someone was to disturb said break it would be bad form to refuse to take him/her/them to their destination, would it not? :lol:

Jim Muldoon, ex-federation chairman, wanted to see more buses servicing customer demand, rather than taxis.

Is this a taxi driver joke I don't get? :shock:

I think it makes sense to find somewhere to hide when you want said break, if they ask the local PH drivers I'm sure they'll be able to point them in the general direction of somewhere the public can't see them :wink: :lol:
