I think he might be referring to the licence applications that were refused at the Council although I don't know how Captivate comes into it.


We are up on Friday.

People like you are a disease Mike, if a couple of hundred drivers had got together and had taken on the council for a nominal fee and challenged the Jacob's Report or the system, the council would buckle for sure. The problem is people like you who try and freeload on a situation and then spit out the dummy when it doesn't work out.

Think about this, 200 drivers as a group apply for one licence plate £700 then contribute £100 each to a fighting fund. You could drag the council in and out of court almost indefinitely for a £100 a pop. The Council wouldn't fight under such overwhelming opposition. You could even commission your own report to challenge Jacob with the correct criteria.

Why don't you go out and pay £45,000 for a plate Mike but let me know who you really are so I can watch when de-restriction comes.

We are still in the fight Mike, we haven't give up like some. Read the passage below you might learn something from it. Then again I doubt it.


It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat.

Is this the point where everyone turns on each other to try and apportion blame.

Anyone who applied for a plate can hardly play the hapless victim and blame someone else.
