The open and closed quotation syntax is, open = quote placed between the open and close brackets, like this [put the word "quote" in here ]. You place this open quote at the beginning of the text you want to highlight and in order to finish the job you put the closed quote at the end of the text you are highlighting. The closed quote is exactly the same as the open quote except that you place a forward slash / after the open bracket such as this [/ then the you type the word "quote" and you finish it off with the closed bracket ]

I've posted this yesterday, but its probably been lost as I'm only just getting use to the site. But the reason I came on the site was that you was slagging off mark Royden from Wirral. When Wirral delimited about 60 drivers decided to oppose the decision. We formed a co-op called COAD (cab drivers against delimitation) however the legal advice we was given was that an individual had to be named as the litigant. however that made the individual responsible for all costs. Mark was the only one who would put his name forward. the T&G had nothing to do with the action, but with the unions activists used to organising, they took over the running of the action. Hope that clears that up. PS liverpool re-regulated in 1983 not 93 it might seem a petty point but the difference was that the delimitation and the reversal was pre-Transport Act

Sorry John, that was my fault - I pasted the post from another forum but didn't put it in quote box because it wasn't a quote from another post as such but a post transferred to one thread from another if you see what I mean

Whole threads can be shifted around, but not single posts as far as I know, but maybe Alex can do it

I actually think in one way Mr Royden did non plate-holders a big fat favour.

Before his case, it could be argued by the scare-mongers that plate premiums were possessions under the HRA. I suspect many councils would have used it as an excuse not to de-limit.

Thankfully that avenue of defence is no more.
