You can always expect the muppet to support the Queen!!!!
But would doubling the taxis in Edinburgh produce the same reduction in PH as happened in St Andrews.
St Andrews Taxis 45 to 90 = +100% then Edinburgh = 1260 to 2520
St Andrews PHCs 5 to 2 = -60% then Edinburgh = 800 to 320
Aye there's always the tooth fairy to believe in too!!!!

And I.T.S profits? well who knows??
I wouldn't be that precise about the taxi numbers, because we've had mega-fare increases in recnet years which I think has increased numbers more than they should. At the same time all you need now is a mobile phone and you can get some booked work, so the drivers are saving £100 a week or so that the offices charge, so the number of independents has gone up from a couple to 20 or more.
So high fares and lower cost have led to more taxis than there would be, but there would certainly maybe bo 60-70.
But the PH numbers are a defo, since theres always been about 4 or 5, and these were mainly office props and controllers etc, who knew that PH was less hard on their cars, it was nothing to do with what was happending in Dundee and other places.
But about springtime a couple of the PH went yellow plate, so theres just 2 left. In fact they are really used by the offices to do the more executive work, so I wouldn't really class them as doing taxi style work at all.
So really the PH sector in St Andrews has disappeared this year.
