I read it some minutes on the edinburgh council website, I'm sure you know the link, Comet or summat, I didnt pay much attention, but I did note the name of a Jacqueline Turnbull and presumed it was your good lady?

then why on earth would they bother getting the powers if they get nothing out of it.


if they got the power they would be doing it to make money simple as that.
you then believe they would impose a self limitation on how much money they could make :lol: :lol: :lol: :D :D :D

what a load of utter nonsense.

I take it you havn't viewed the Medallion system with any real WILL

So your point at this moment is insignificant :lol:

no way

the price of the license is the only limiting factor.

no one would apply if they cant make any money out of it.

you should try letting people make money rather than spending it.

and that goes for the whole economic system in this country.
you should take a look at the likes of hong Kong

one of the freest economies in the world.
and the man on the street isn't taxed to death.
and yet you could eat your tea of the streets.

restriction is bad for growth as a country and as individuals.


It's not a restriction, its a regular evaluation and licenses being sold as required.

I get the feeling you are kind of scared the money making exercise is going to be looked into.

If thats the case, I take it the scheme has merits :wink:

lol I'm sure she's lovely Alistair and you should consider youself lucky.

I mentioned it because your good lady is mentioned, wasnt that obvious?

I'm also sure she'll appeciate your 'Who's Jackie' comment :lol:

If your good lady has nothing to do with comet, why does it say in the report that she is a manager?

But we're getting away from the point of this thread, so lets leave it?

400 extra is a bit heavy but any increase would have an effect on the PHC market


Maybe from a driver point of view but not from an operator point of view. The large companies will still take drivers on and this will increase the problems taxis already have with pirating if there is no work on the system. Enforcement would have to good to prevent this from happening

i think I've just realized how stupid cc and Dougie are

you think of the trade as a business,an investment.

its not! its a job.period

you have a vehicle and the skill set required to do the job at hand.

and thats all it is


If it's just a job why make all the fuss about not having access to the tools of your trade :? Just rent the tools from the person who owns the business

until then its just pash :wink:
and no i haven't looked at the medallion system why the feck would i,or anyone else for that matter.

i could see the insurmountable obstacles from the start.

its a non starter,not worth 5 minutes of my time. :wink:
