So running your own Cab isn't going to cost just as much as paying a rental then ?? what about the hassle that comes with running your own business ? I think your in for a huge surprise if you ever get your own way Jim.
Are we all to run around in 10 year old cabs then ???
Jim, I paid fifty grand for my cab several years ago. The only problem I ever had was worrying about dereg.
Why can't you just do what I did or what any person who wants to go into business for themselves have to do and go speak to the bank manager ?

I promise you that you wont pay any more for a loan than you would a rental. Then at the end of it, you can do what you will. Work when you like. Yes times are difficult at the moment but even now I still make a good living. Yes I admit I have a driver who pays me a rental but he is free to leave anytime he likes to persue his own business. Now that's what I call fair ! Didn't your mommy never tell you, ye get nout for nout in this world laddie !

it can cost more than paying a rental ......that is if you dont give a feck cause yer drivers paying for the 30k motor and the radio pos,and the varios permits etc..

if you do it right it can cost almost nothing to run a profitable taxi.

and before you say it!, that will be a safe taxi up to the standards of the test.

or you can try and play the big man and boast how expensive it is to all yer mates.

you didnt buy a plate mate...
its not yours..
never will be...you have no control over whether you can operate or not
only the illusion that you have control.

thats why i wouldnt pay a bolt for it..becouse at 50k its nothing more than the biggest punt of youre life and if it goes wrong!!!!!!

I nice one ali it can cost almost nothing to run a profitable taxi.

What planet are you from, 50k you need a shrink. What if the cab was 100k, no problem go to the bank manager. What if it was 200k no problem either. What you are saying is I’m all right JACK thank you very much! I can afford it cos my driver pays that bill! I can get credit so f*uk you all. Your driver can pursue his own business, but you know he won’t cos he can’t afford 50k. I wonder if you were born self-righteous or you had to work hard to get there Laddie.

I too was a driver that couldn't afford it. I went to the bank and got a loan. You too could do exactly the same. What's stopping you ?? Let me see, could it be the constant threat of dereg that's stopping you ????? Do the math mate, add up your rental over five years and see what that comes to. Yes you need a good credit rating and if you don't have one then who's fault is that ? It's certainly not mine ! I took a the risk and now I'm happy that I control what times I choose to work. I know I don't own the plate but nobody is going to take it off me that's for sure. It's worth is only relevant if I ever decide to sell up ! I'm quite happy to work away and play by the rules. It's just a pitty there are folk who want it all for nothing and let's no kid ourselves on hear, that's what they really want !

that thing that you know you dont own but theres no way there taking it off you...............and all we want is that thing that cant be owned and isnt worth it...and we all want it for nowt.


yeh yeh ok btk

illusion or delusion take youre pick

so what worries you know that youre plate is paid off....you should be free and easy no??????????????

or do you wish these poor drivers to keep funding you.

btw just so you know youre credit rating never came into it when the bank lent you.

youre capital worth did.

if you defaulted do you think they would come after youre plate or youre hoose

its worth is only relevent if someone ever buys it thats for sure

and that aint ever going to happen thats for sure

no its not. The folks that struggle to pay for a plate thats in short supply is against all that is fair, & just because some can afford it ...well that makes it all right then. Get your head out yer ass and tell me that a piece of plastic on yer bumper is worth 20k & motor 30k. You may be daft enough to pay it, but us normals think its a tad too expensive.

couldnt agree more

youve picked me up wrong
youll no be the first

Ive got an idea

All the folk on here that want a taxi but dont want to pay for it, why dont

they get a private hire plate????? The council have that many their

giving them away...

That way everybodys "happy"

tell me do you agree with the terms of the cgsa???

plates are non transferable,according to that act.

now you can pick and choose the parts of the law that you like and dismiss the parts that you dont all day long,but facts are facts what you! were allowed to do and me for that matter, is in my opinion against the terms and the spirit of the cgsa .
until it is brought before a court,we will all just have to speculate.
probably not for that long though.
this and some other issues are about to go before the courts in the not to distant future.
lets see what happens eh
