I'm sure that MrT can remember the days when we stood on the Bonnet and waved 'Red & Yellow' Flags to each other!

I certainly don't remember that..ha ha.. I will have to bow to your superior knowledge... but I can certainly remember bump starting the old fx's by pushing them down the road bumper-to-bumper

The only people moaning are taxi drivers trying to protect something they lost decades ago.

Punters who want to go from a to b in a licensed vehicle couldn't give a dam if it's a ph or hackney carriage.

Times have changed, and if the law commission and certain section of the licensing system have their way, then we will all be taxis.

One big fat happy family.


i moand in Barnley and got the word taxi taken from all p/hire vehicls and offices, and i give a dam.

Purpose-built Hackney's come with the word taxi in the roof light as standard..... the danger of wrongly educating the public that private hire are taxis is that it leaves the public believing that they can flag down a private hire vehicle in the street. which then means private hire drivers are committing an offence, councils especially have a duty of care to make sure this does not happen.....


i don't see why you think this - people try and fail to flag me down - as a female PH driver i don't fancy picking up any tom, dick or harry off the side of the road....
Are you ashamed of being private hire..... why do you need to use the word taxi


so what you are saying is that if you like the look of them you would pick them up.
