Skull,
it seems you do not give a s**t about the owners who have recently forked out upto £40,000 for a plate. What happens if the trade derestricts and these guys cannot afford to repay the loans they have secured against there house etc.
do you care, no do you hell. you just want to secure yourself a plate with the hope that the council do not derestict taxi numbers, then after one year you can happily sell your plate for a nice little profit.
a business man you are not. you may think of yourself as a business man, but all owners do is pay a couple of bills and keep the taxi maintained, not exactly the high power business man that, is it.
if you get your plates, i hope the council do derestict numbers and i hope you have fun driving your taxis...........

Deegang, Deegang someone who cares, your problem is that you are no different than me. You don’t give a [edited by admin] about the other owners either all you care about is yourself and spare me the high moral bleat of desperation.
If you are daft enough to pay a plate premium of over £40,000 when your profits are falling then you deserve everything you have got coming. Five years ago the plate value was around £20,000-£25,000 now profits are going down the PHC have more than double and yet the plate value is going up and you think people who might want their own taxi should pay this kind of money. I don’t see many of you so called owners selling your plates for the value they had 5 years ago. It must be great talking to all of your little friends and blowing about the value in your plate, and what a great investment you made buying yourself a job. The truth is Jimmy Neilson (ITS) is lining you chumps up one after another and for what, he must be [edited by admin] himself and if you jump into the financial precipice I should follow. I don’t think so.
No Deegang, the situation you and others find yourself in is that of your own making.
Your answer to all this is that you would like others to spend this kind of money just so you and realcabforce and the like can sleep easy in your beds at night. Or at least till you have paid off your plate or until the PHC have increased in such number that there is nothing much left to debate anyway.
The truth is, this is about the debt that some have got themselves into and the need to believe they have got it right. Well here’s the bad news no one said life would be a bowl of cherries.
This comes down to two things Jimmy Neilson (ITS) hiking up the plate value and you chumps paying it.
If you want to attribute blame to anyone look in the mirror and grow up a little.
