Taxi Driver Online

OUT OF 200 OR MORE TAXI DRIVERS THEY MANAGED TO FIND YOU?
Remarkable.

Mick,
this afternoon went to the rank early, did a few jobs then hit thay quiet patch so got out the sunday papers,

a bloke got in the cab, where too Gov?

The Green then onto Whickham, wheres that? Gatehead bingo! I thought I can go and see my pal Mick!

well off we went got to the green only 2 hours, he nipped in and my fingures were crossed that he hadnt done a runner, 15 minutes he came out with a brown enverlope then to Whickam.

got my fat fare and a good tip, youve got them well trained, and hit the centre to find a rank, eventually found one not that many cabs were my observation, parked up, got a cab with 3 drivers playing cards I am looking for a friend Mick Pollard, cab driver? all seemed none plussed

looked around did so want to show you my hackney and license!

thought I may have found you and met you,

dissapointed to come back without saying hallo

I work an area where limit by numbers have been abolished

been to Gatehead today to talk to drivers. though admittedly had my way paid in full.

well you in particular, youve said this b4 Mick I said I would come and talk to drivers remember?

you said ok then withdrew.

talk to drivers in a abolished by numbers zone every night.

deregulation? if its a problem then get some more regulations in.

opportunities are there? the lads I spoke too were enjoying thier card game, and did not want troubling.

Because the local Watford T&G rep pointed me out to the reporter and said I was from Mansfield in Nottinghamshire. DIME BAR.

rEMARKABLE nIGE rEMARKABLE

tell me more about ctn and mansfield sorting out Watford station, you say only four taxis went, suits the argument about leaving mansfield short, though is this your best effort to help Watford?

In all fairness, I would love to know where the delegation from Brighton, Southampton, Eastleigh, and the other branches from down on the south coast went.

Cos they didn't make it to Watford.

Perhaps it was a bit cold.

how do you know? was you there?
Brighton lads probably did not have the time
thier numbers are somewhat limited!

be a shortage today though, wonder what passengers will think when they cannot get a taxi and they are going slow around the resort?

could do with halcrow having a count?

I wasnt on the demo yesterday. One of the ph lads wound up a few sayinmg halcrow did a study during the hour they where on the protest.
Little bugger.

Oh dear there is really a them and us issiue now between those that went to the demo and those that didnt.
The ones that went all ahve little bit of black ribbon on there ariaels.
Dont know if thats a good omen.

its a bad omen, black ribbons on ariels are to signify respect on the death of a fellow driver.

still, suppose they need some trophy.

The funny bit is that some of the 'scabs' have put there own on.
Including me.

I'm sorry to hear that Angel. Are you sure you won't change your mind?

JD

I suppose he could always post as Charlie the Paperlad? lol.

JD

Yes how pitiful "Charlie the Paperlad". There's a touch of the night about you Mr Angel. You condemn others for posting as guest and then don your Mr Hyde persona and do exactly what you are accusing others of doing.

What a sad, sad person you are?



Agh! "EQUALITY" I thought you said you've had enough of equality? I suppose Mr Angel you like to pick and choose your particular brand of equality? Typical of the man who advocates equality in the above sentence yet advocates the exact opposite when it comes to numbers control.



Do they really? By two tiers I suppose you mean where Hackney carriage licenses are restricted? The whole of the UK has a two-tier system does it not? So you mean the Government realise that the Hackney carriage trade works best where licenses are restricted? And where they are not restricted the Hackney carriage trade doesn't work well at all? Sound thinking for a trade union rep. I wonder why no one else thought of that?



Well its been and gone! Didn't you really mean to say that you will be quitting this trade on the first of March and starting back on the second of March? lol

JD

JD mate, trawling back 12 months ago shows how your struggling for argument.

I have already said that I'm openminded when it comes to change and view the trade differently than I did 12 months ago, you on the other hand are not willing to change your opinions as you learn more because you believe that no-one on here can teach you anything.

I left the trade in March 2004, to start my own business, for around 4 months I didn't have time to contribute but as I still retain my driver badges I still care passionatly about the trade, indeed over the xmas I returned for a short time and doubled up with a couple of mates of mine.

The trade has given me a lot, I try to return the favour by giving something back, because of this I hate people who just take from it, specialist solicitors canvassing councils as a "taxi" specialists are in my opinion worse than leeches.
