Maybe a Co-operative company is the answer. We all chuck in and when the diffy goes out we all get back whats not wasted or paid out in wages to run the operation...........

I don't believe they could get any worse but I have great faith in the old sayings "what goes around comes around" and the "higher they climb the further they fall"

I'll always feel that the fault lies more with the drivers than the company, the company cannot survive without the drivers. and the only people that can drive are licensed drivers, one three-day stop by all drivers would make the company listen

You still need work whether your PH or HC.....in the promised land of HC you'll sit on a rank....if youve no radio you sit longer....fair enough when the streets are busy you can do streetwork....but invariably when streets are busy radios are busy.

In my experience... not that poncy deregulation brummie cabbie has ...ph switch to HC....so probably no new numbers in terms of licensed vehicles...but where's the customer? Yep its the same customer you were previously picking up in your PH.

Of course the one thing that feeds PH is competition....prices may differ from PH to PH...so customers go from one to the other.....but hey....your HC fare is set by the council.....and youve a brand new cab to pay for.

The smug become smugger my friend.

I know of one circuit where the driver has to ask to go for a pee ffs.

I'd like to see a 3 day stoppage . I mean have you ever known PH drivers stick together. It'd be like watching ice cream in the sun, you just know what's going to happen. The staunch will fight and the greedy will feed...

And I know many radio companies that would go bust within weeks if they binned their PH.

What do you think might happen if there was a policy for PHVs that required a new vehicle for a new PH plate & the maximum age for an already plated PHV was say 10 years?

Do you not think that PHVs aged about 7-8 years old might then have a plate value too?

That's not what I wrote.

No PHVs over 8 years old ON FIRST LICENSING, then no age limit thereafter.

And yes we do probably still have Nissan Bluebirds here.

There is absolutely nobody in the world that speaks Hindu.

A Hindu is an adherent of the philosophies and scriptures of Hinduism, a set of religious, philosophical and cultural systems that originated in the Indian subcontinent.

There are however, hundreds of millions of people that speak Hindi or Hindavi, but I am not one of them. But I am fluent in two languages & can just get by in two others.

There is also one other language that I am fluent in, but refuse point blank to use it!

So on your system how much settle do your PH pay weekly, as opposed to HC?

For the record I pay £170 per month & the work quantity is reasonable.

But there is another Hackney circuit in Brum that charges £65 per month, but 98% of their work is accounts, & again they have a reasonable quantity of work.

Yes that would probably be the case if it's legal for your LA to do so, not sure about that.
The value would be lower than the same vintage HC licence though.
If they go down that road, expect an increase in out of town cabs working your manor (Berwick scenario).

Why do you think it would be illegal for an LA to do just that?



Yes I fully agree with that. But you know what councils are; they never listen & rarely have a clue how a sizeable minority in the 'taxi' trade just love to 'duck & dive' & get around whatever rules, policies & obstacles are put in place.

I don't. I'm just not sure.

But according to your avatar your cab is either a FX3 or Beardmore....and you have the cheek to complain about PH?
