There is no distraction we get to the nitty gritty on TDO and we don't beat about the bush, we have a tendency to tell it how it is. If you want to run around the mulberry bush then that is your problem but don't expect us to do the same.

Have you ever considered the fact that I am the guy who supplies all the information and you are the guy that copies it? What does that say about master and surf?

lol an ego earned by hard work and one which benefits the taxi trade as a whole. Just imagine if I hadn't arrived on the scene, you wouldn't have all this case law that you can access at the touch of a button, those five cab drivers in Scotland would not have their licenses and those cab drivers in Carlisle would not be ranking up on the busiest cab rank in town and many more which you do not know about.

I think I have proved my worth and I don't need an ego to trumpet my accomplishments in such a short period of time.

I might add, all done for free.

Regards

JD

So your actions benefit the Taxi Trade as a whole......... every single person including all the ones that a have lost thousands of Pounds by being deregulated.... don't think somehow they will agree with you....

I have an attic full of court cases.... as do many trade rep's.... and my computer was full long before you appeared.....

you mean the Scottish drivers that have sold the plates they got for nothing .... big deal

the drivers in Carlisle knew for many many years before you that that particular rank was illegal... they even have the barrister's opinion stating so from the time it was implemented.... but it suited them at the time not to make a fuss....


you're over-inflated ego shines through all the time.... you constantly need to be told what a clever little chappie you are.

Councils know best I'm afraid and if they wish to remove control of numbers then that is down to them and not me.

But not the important ones eh? Well you do now, thanks to me and TDO.

Quote:

Good, well its a lot fuller now isn't it. If your computer was so full of case law you wouldn't have needed to rob all the case law and more besides off this website and display it on the liars website. WOULD YOU?

Quote:

Totally Irrelevant.

Quote:

Well now they can enjoy the fruits of my labour.

Quote:

Well I'm glad the Barrister agreed with me, it shows he has good sense.

Quote:

Have you suddenly become their spokesperson?

Quote:

Well to be quite honest I don't actually need to be told that but if you are complimenting me on my services then I shall take your remarks with a pinch of salt. Most of the things I do I don't crow about, they go unadvertised and that is the way I normally operate.

I think by your little outburst you don't like the little guys winning from time to time. You should chill out more and accept that people have a right to exercise their own prerogatives even though you might not like it.

By the way, that post was a wind up because I new you of all people would respond in the way you did. You are totally predictable Mr T but I still have a soft spot for you, on occasions.

Regards

JD

Here is something interesting that I had forgotten about this thread.

I have just been re-reading OFT676, the original report in November 2003 (for a meeting we have tomorrow with the council's Working Group) & paragraph 4.13 states;

4.13
If LAs are to refuse to issue further taxi licences they must first go through a process aimed at establishing that there is no ‘significant demand that is unmet’.


That is the normal tried and tested process.

Quote:
They generally do this by carrying out an ‘unmet demand’ survey,


Another tried and tested process dependent on being independent and substantial.

Quote:
on average every two to four years.


There has never been a time frame placed on the shelf life of a survey carried out in England and Wales. Unlike Scotland.

JD

One man one plate...... and if he can't afford a taxi.......Fu*k him.


If a person couldn't afford to buy a vehicle in a "restricted" authority then they obviously wouldn't apply for a proprietor license. They would be in exactly the same position as they are in now. The only difference being is that there would be no multiple owners and plates would be worthless by virtue of their non transferability. Drivers who wish to obtain a track would do so from an existing owner instead of a multiple owner, therefore nothing changes except you would have to drive one of your own cabs if you wanted to retain its license. Don't you agree that that is the best way of redistributing hackney carriage plates, in restricted authorities?

Your choice of words not mine.

JD.. you always come out with the same old rubbish .... the same sums that don't add up in reality and the same unrealistic and childish approach to life....... but you are not alone there are many more like you. telling everybody what they should do. but never being able to do it themselves..... keep running round waving your arms like a little girl for you do not understand..... now remind me.... why exactly is it that you are frightened of people knowing who you are..... in real life people like you are deemed a menace... you remind me of that bloke that was given an asbo because he kept reporting his neighbours for parking incorrectly..... he was a sad little man as well....................
