Hackney trade reps represent their members. I will ask you to use your own common sense; do you think these members would be agreeable with regard to having their mobile phones made illegal? and would you also think that trade reps would be stupid enough to think that their members would consent to this? It is obvious that the wording in certain parts of the document needs to be changed.

One last thing regarding mobile phones. To make it so you could not use your mobile phone as an assistance to create work would be unenforceable. You know it, I know it and they certainly know it. :D


Hi, I thank you for the reply.
So I can cancel plans to move house over the county boundary now so I can answer my phone... :lol:
I honestly did not know the situation I apologise for running off at the mouth.

You will have to excuse my little game with JD (rather childish I admit, but extremely good fun!)

My intention was not to impress my opinion of the rights or wrongs of the proposal, but simply to allow people the right to form their own impressions of it, to stimulate debate.

Well Mr T it definitely simulated debate :lol:

Deep down I thought it was ludicrous to stop the use of mobile phones and you mentioned hard to enforce....it would be a nightmare to enforce.
Unless pure entrapment was used as a method of enforcement.
eg: waiting in a street or at a airport and ringing the number on a taxi top sign to see if they accept a booking knowing you were outside your area of licencing.....You bugger...you had my a*se going like a cat flap in the wind.
So I will sleep this weekend knowing that impending doom is on the horizon but all is not what meets the eye.

Anyways on a lighter note...GA tells me you are into field sports these days ?
Regards Steve


12or 20 :wink:

But Sussex, the people who attend the "meeting of minds" are getting their fingers out ON THIS ISSUE

TBH I'm not overly impressed with what has come out so far. 10 out of 10 for effort, but 3/4 out of 10 for attainment.

Problem this trade has is many of the ones that turn up are well intentioned, but, alas, not up to the job. :?

What happens then is the ones who are clued up bamboozle the ones who aren't. Good if the end product is good for everyone, not if it's just for the few. :wink:

But then aren't we getting into 'secret society' areas?

If discussions are on going, and people are meant to be representing the taxi/PH trade, then everything should be in the open. :?

I agree, but I wonder how many members of the NPHA have been consulted, or even been advised as to what's being discussed. :?

Same for the membership of the GMB or T&G. :?

But representatives of all the groups were there (as far as I believe) ................ all groups were given the same document (as far as I believe) ................. and all groups were taking the document to discuss with their membership (or they should be).

The singling out of Mr Casey (yet again) shows that Mr JD has a personal agenda against BOTH Mr Casey and the NTA.

The document is a proposal for discussion ............... and I would imagine that if the "meeting of minds" ever comes up with a workable solution to this problem it will bear little resemblance to this proposal for discussion.

JD has an enviable knowledge of the trade, however embarking on witch-hunts against individuals threatens the good reputation he should be able to enjoy.

B. Lucky :D
