Taxi Driver Online

Not a lot tbh, I got it cheap a long time ago, and I do know what I know, and that's a lot more than you appear clever enough to work out.

Almost as cheap as your reply tbh, see that's the difference between me and you, you think it's great a lot of ppl lost a lot of money on purchased plates, I don't I think how I'd feel if it was me, you are just typical of a modern day UK'r, you revel in other ppls misery you find it brilliant that someone got shafted.

Oh and another thing as the IRS doesn't allow you what you pay for a plate, in the event of it becoming worthless you are entitled to claim what you laid out against your final tax bill, and before anyone says I'm wrong, I had it from the horses mouth when I was investigated, cost me a few bob at the time, but if I end up with a worthless plate the IRS has a big claim coming in for that years allowances.

I think it`s great that I don`t have to be held to ransom by money grabbers who charge extortionate rates for something that cost them nothing. I don`t really care if the shafter got shafted what goes around comes around.

Show me where I said I think its great a lot of people lost a lot of money on purchased plates .........

As for revelling in other peoples misery ???? when/where/what.........

Not bitter are we..........

As for cheap replies..........Ha Ha Ha

The fact you are getting in through the backdoor and laughing at ppl who've lost out says you love it.


There's a term for the likes of you


I'm all right Jack!


Enjoy you're moment, because you are about to commit yourself financially and you won't be able to pay it back because there will be another 300 other ppl joining the Chester cab fleet over the next two years and that ends up being one job every 90 minutes if you are lucky, I've already seen it in action, it doesn't work and that's why they had to reverse the decision, here's to you and the baliff that eventually knocks your door, and don't say you weren't warned.

Could that not also apply to people who have plates in restricted areas

You sound like a



Maybe you should get your facts straight before you start spouting garbage. I already have a nice FREE plate and have had for the last 7 months.

As for getting in through the back door I reckon that applies more to you than it does to me. I got my plate legitimately from the council.

Not really, that's like saying it's ok to sit in on a poker game without any money.

I paid for the right to use the plate, everyone else had the same chance I did, if they chose not to that's up to them, the whole arguement could go as silly as a bloke in a Travelodge kicking up because the Dorchester said no to him, there's many an example of this method of use, but only the taxi trade gets pulled up for it, you could even use this as an example, two men waiting for a cab, the second man says to the first, if I give you ten quid can I go in front of you, now how ppl are saying it is right now the second guy should always be said no to because he's the second guy, but because he needs/wants to get away quicker he pays for the privilage and everyone is happy.

The simplest fair way would be to insist when the plate is finished with it goes back to the council and is issued to the next in line on the waiting list, this can be got round though, so I guess that's why it's not adhered to.

Anyway I gotta cut and run, work calls.

Touch a nerve did I ?

Wishful thinking.

Ok I can't follow your argument but that's not a problem I'm just having a 'blonde moment' me thinks.

Anyway with reference to the I'm alright jack bit I was referring to the attitude of some drivers that already have plates as opposed to those that want a plate.

I am totally against anybody being able to sell a plate when they don't actually belong to them in the first place.

Your analogies are getting crazier by the day.

I wouldn't expect you to get it anyway, you need a brain to understand nothing in this world is free.

A HC plate isnt free....its attached to a vehicle and costs money.

What sussex is probably pointing out (from our many arguments over the years) is why someone should pay £50K plus for a plate on the back of a vehicle that is maybe worth £500 quid?

I didn't get the poker thing either and contrary to popular belief my brain is quite good. I'd take offence if somebody called me brainless just because I didn't understand their analogy
