You make a lot of assumptions

Thanks for your concern but I doubt very much if I will go bankrupt anytime soon.

As for house prices going down - that only really matters if I was trying to sell my house which I am not.

You seem OVERLY concerned - are you having problems keeping up with your payments or getting close to bankruptcy yourself.Maybe you should consider a career change.

Ps before you do have you any advice on which cab to buy ???

PPS People like me - you say that like you know me.Thanks for feeling sorry for my family they will sleep better now.

So where did I say anywhere that I would be buying a cab on finance you assume that I need to get a loan to buy a cab.

As for vehicle I would go for the new E seven at least then you would have a number of options..... and I would also push the council to allow you to charge 50 per cent more after five passengers...

A lot less than it would have cost to rent a hack at 48p a mile.

And less than the £25,000 it would have cost me for a plate last week.

I cannot see where you are going with this ..................three grand thirteen years ago = 25 grand now so whats the difference.

The point is it is £25,000 that I don`t have to find.

Are we likely to see a legal challenge to this decision as has been suggested by the local taxi trade?
