Word on the rank is that from April the 1st, those with double plates will no longer be allowed to work in other zones, the second plate they received must be removed from the vehicle and returned to the council for a refund :D :D :D :D :D

Why wouldn't the owner split the plates onto two vehicles before they had to hand one of the plates back?

Or has someone 'April Fooled' Mr Skippy41 almost a week early?

Theres just not the work for two vehicles...so one plate on two different vehicles would reduce your profitablity by around 50%...where as two plates on one vehicle could increase its profitablity by around 25%..seeeeeeemple!

You may want to re read the nice letter the council sent you, or is about to

BTW half the town disappears until Sept from Friday, that's when the uni closes, most have already gone

What's your point...do you really think I haven't been consulting with the council on this?

There will be no letter.

And?

You might rely on the business from the university, because you are cheap, but we don't.

I'm afraid you'll just have to get used to us Skippy....all of the customers have.
