Or perhaps your just a doom monger?

Oil will be history within a few decades, trust me when I say electric vehicles, nuclear power, wind farms, hydrogen vehicles will become the norm.

We won't have a choice, red tape will dissapear.

If they don't, the human race will descend into anarchy and oblivion as food runs out. :wink:

Luckily by then, I'll be in a country with only 9 million neighbours and a land mass 16 times bigger than smelly Britain. \:D/

I'm Certainly not a Doom Monger...im more the Optimistic Realist, I have however noticed that when it comes to doom and gloom that the so called "WORLDS BEST" pretty much lead the way....

Its funny how rats desert a sinking ship when they lose the toss.
I don't know how you can constantly call others doom mongers when your post resemble something out of the Mad Max comics :evil:
Optimistic Realism that's the way to go, not fiction. Perhaps you spend too much time on the ranks reading about doom and gloom :lol:

You sure are, and old with it.

Time to retire?

Unlike you Mr A, my life and retirement to Sweden has been planned for many years, called good financial planning with the added bonus of having a house there.
It's not my fault your life was'nt planned well, and now at 69 your still having to go out at 3 in the morning.

Lucky you. :lol:

Nope you got the wrong info again :oops:
you must have got it from the LTDA :^o

You see unlike you, my father was a Cab driver not a banker but he still gave me the values I have lived by all my life and taught me never to give in to adversity.
I am a 57 year old athletic ex-boxer, semi retired and enjoy driving my cab at nights between 10 and 2. five nights a week \:D/
Wouldn't dream of leaving this wonderful country, I too have a house abroad but I wouldn't live there its full of ex Pats prating on about what they've got :badgrin:
Good luck in Sweden ( £8 for a beer, nice), going soon are you :arrow:

I thought you were currently a Banker? My mistake.
Ah! The old 'boxer' one! :D
Judging by the last time I saw you I'd get down the Gym again if I were you.

TBH, I can't say I give a sheeite about what you or half a dozen pensioners who eat at a Cab cafe do or debate Mr A.

You'll never have any influence over the trade, you'll never get your extra's rip off button back, you'll never get any more members with an actor at the helm either, but that's a whole new debate. :lol:

Part of the beauty of being a self employed person in the London Taxi trade, is that some of us have what it takes to play the game to an advantage, some folks like yourself and the card school will spend their lives moaning about what they could have had.

Suffice to say that when Sweden beckons, you'll still be out there.
I'll think about you if I land a carp . . . or was that have a crap?

Do remember to post the occasional 'Hat Camera film' to remind me of your sterling efforts to improve our lot, providing your picture has'nt appeared on the feeder park canteen wall by then?

Also that's assuming the Police haven’t arrested you for voyeurism by then. :wink:

So you finally got round to posting a picture of yourself, well done, and the description is you to a tee.
No wonder you don't stop for a chat when your out, don't want to frighten the staff, good boy.
What was that about excessive posts, I hear you hold the record at 4066 so far.
Just how many cab drivers are you going to insult befor you slid off this little hell hole.
Personal insults are the lowest form of debate, now who told me that one..................... Oh yeh it was you............. about a thousand insults ago.
Thats the trouble with MUGS they never learn, do as I say not as I do, thats there logo.

GBC,I assume that as you consider the extras button a rip off!
