You are a fine one to preach morality.
What Ali does is perhaps morally questionable, but what you do is obscene.
Ali is trying to undermine the system he hates and risks his money to do it.
You lie, scaremonger and bullchit, in order to maintain your position.
A position you have built on the hard work of others.
You know you are finished if delimiting comes to your manor.
You need this restricted trade, but the trade doesn't need you.
You're a worried man who can't allow anyone to kill off his golden goose.
And you would say or do anything to prevent it, wouldn't you?

Let me help you out Trev.
A fool is someone who believes your bullchit.

morally questionable yes but neccesary.
a greater moral goal perhaps.

still i could always just spout lies about trevs sons/daughters or grand kids whether they be true or not is niether here nor thier really is it.

but then that really would be below the belt, or would it.

BTW Many would consider an NVQ or BTEC to be an artificial barrier.


Not really cos the NVQ is a work based assessment so you already have to be doing the job. The Btec maybe considered a barrier but I would hardly say it is an artificial barrier, but, then again some would.

Quote:
Nothing artificial about making sure the candidate actually knows where they are going. If too many are passing, then the test is inadequate.


Totally agree with you

Quote:
We have a less than 3 years old on first registration and has to be a WAV to be plated.

Quote:
sn't that an artificial barrier


No I don't think it is. Has anybody sucessfully challenged such age requirements?

I'm just suggesting that everybody think long and hard before they push for total de-limition. Think of an alternative if you can :D

I disagree. Why 3 years?
Why not 2 years or 4 years?
Age is no guide to quality.
It's just an arbitrary limit, usually brought in instead of decent inspection standards. I'd call that an artificial barrier.

Not sure. Perhaps someone else can enlighten us?

I kind of agree with what you say, but, I'm not sure inspection standards is the answer I mean everybody has their price and inspectors are no different :shock:

Very true.
The same could also be said of some councillors and Licensing Officers.

Of course it can. Everything has a price and a consequence just be sure that what you get is really what you want and if it's not find an alternative. Have you made enquiries of other drivers in de-limited areas? I know the drivers here wouldn't recommend it, not now, not with hindsight :D

close, but no cigar award to one of the "BIG 2" in Falkirk. When the limit was to be 5 yrs at first hackney, he argued and got it put out to 6 yrs. Purely a money saving exercise.

An independent tried to fight against any limit based on "if it passes the test it's good enough, no matter how old" He had a 12 yr old astra estate at the time, if memory serves.

needless to say the cooncil won on a technicality.

I doubt you would be grateful for anything.

Please don't debate your point of view, Trev.
You wouldn't want it exposed for the pile of festering sh*t it really is.

Just keep telling everyone who doesn't agree how stupid or hypocrytical they are.
Considering the amount of name-calling and abuse you give out you really are a wimp, I call you fool which you are and you really don't like it :lol: :lol:

As I stated earlier I hope de-regulation comes to you all soon and let’s see how many of you are shouting in favour of it then and when it comes I can't wait to hear your comments.

I look forward to telling you I told you so.


I look forward to the day Aberdeen is delimited properly.
Whether that be 100% WAV or 100% choice.
The current system leeches drivers' hard earned cash to the greedy and adversely affects the earnings of all of them.
You'll be waiting a extremely long time for that to happen, there would have to be some major changes in the laws of this land , which would be contested at the highest level by many people who have nothing to do with taxis.


and one would presume trev, that you would be one of those people contesting this, who have nothing what so ever to do with taxi's :lol: :lol:
