Yes I have held a plate for a number of years, having initially obtained it from the council for the then applicable fees.
You are wrong (as usual) to believe that I have my name on the waiting list for a second plate.
I sincerely hope and believe that the survey will show no significant unmet demand because, as every sensible cabbie in Edinburgh knows, there is no unmet demand. Apart from which, it should have been realised by now that extra taxi numbers do not solve the problem they actually make it worse.
Perhaps, you will eventually admit that you are driven by greed alone. None of you actually have any business sense at all let alone acumen.
Think back on your record and look at the events you have caused or participated in - every one destructive - not one constructive point have you made, nor have you contributed constructively on any issue. You would be well advised to work a little harder in the taxi you drive, since I note that you are required to pay the council legal costs as well as your own.
One final point - Why are you and Thomson spouting on about this issue when neither of you are members of 3maxblack llp? William Conroy and William McLean are listed as the only current members with Garry Thomson having resigned on 5/5/2005, despite the LLP keeping their address as his home. You were never in it!!
