The cabbie though is a professional in the EYES of the LAW, he should have known better :roll:

I agree we don't get enough protection from the law and we need a massive injection of cash to expand the cab office, what that expansion could include is mobile cab inspectors dedicated to patrolling the streets especially on weekend nights, their job would be to deal with incidents like this but also acting as enforcers when phc and out of town cabs pick up illegally, working alongside radio companies they could respond when kids are throwing stones at Taxi's, being mobile would allow them to reach quickly any driver punter disputes ect ect

Where do we get that cash, well it's a New York from me and a New York from him :)


Wow that's a great idea Reggie, you've obviously put a lot of thought into this. :shock: :lol: :lol: :lol:


You losing it Skull?

You know full well that stupy Dougie will believe you.

Poor soul doesn't have the wit to realise you're taking the pash :lol: :lol:

Why is it that restrictionists think only they should profit by restriction?

I'd expect that kind of thing from profiteers. It's the double standards and the justification from those pofiteers that say it's wrong but do it anyway and those that applaud those kind of double standards I just don't get
