John trust me they are not worth the bother, Taylor runs a mile when you corner him and if he is trapped he will push the record button on his dictaphone (True) :lol: A total sad bastage :wink:

The Two of them specialise in fecking the trade and especially plate holders, taylor hides behind Skull and if you would like an honest comparison of the 2 of them then Skull looks like the Itallian Referee COLLINA'S or the guy from the Hills have Eyes horror movie :lol: , a real screwball look :lol: Taylor looks like a bulldog with his face bashed in :lol: :lol: :lol: Or the hunch back of Notredam :lol:

Everyone is allowed an opinion Dougie, even if they do make a complete erse of themselves in the process, you are proof of that. That's what forums are all about.

Should I be frightened Dougie, don't hold your breath? John, Jim, you and I, we are all yesterday's heroes. The whitehoose is no more, and Niddrie is almost done away with. If you don't have the intellect to hack it on the forum then feck off, it's that simple.

Dougie, I'm almost 50 years old, and from what I hear, BIG JOHN, is even older than me, our day has past, “respect”, you lot are pathetic.

What, 50 + year old guys fighting it out to make a point? Tell your pals to come and get me anytime they like.

I pish on you all ...
:roll:

The beanscene coffee shop Haymarket Station - 15:00h.

It's where I go for a coffee every now and then. I'm working but I usually make it for round about that time.

I don't think Jim can make it, as he works nights and his changeover is on the other side of town.

I had my coffee on my own.


Oh now I remember, I should have been shi*ing myself.


Grow up Dougie, I would be embarrassed if anyone was stepping in giving it the hard man act for me.

THIS IS A TAXI FORUM.

Dougie, where will I go, where can I hide, can you speak to your boys and get them to promise not to rough me up, too much?

Oh and please, remind them, I make it a point, never to fight with anyone under the age of fifty and preferably over the age of sixty years old, just in case, I chip a nail. :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

John, Dougie is a fecking erse, and what's more he's a likeable erse. I am at a fecking loss with this guy. I don't want to attack him but he just talks so much shi*.

Deary me, he'd drive you up the feckin' wall :shock: :roll:

Sorry to be pedantic Reggie, but how would a New York system work if Edinburgh was derestricted? :-k

You could de-restrict tomorrow but the cost of a New licence granted could be anything from £30k-£50k



So what would the price be Reggie? £50k and no one would want any new plates - very handy indeed :roll:

And I wouldn't really call such a scenario 'derestriction', whatever the price charged - time for some new terminology?

And I find it difficult to envisage a scenario whereby Edinburgh would be forced to derestrict while at the same time bringing in a NY-type system.

For one, if they had the powers to issue plates at a premium then presumably the legislation would have been changed to accomodate this, thus under what kind of scenario would they be forced to derestrict?

Second, you say CEC would 'seriously consider' bringing in a NY system, but this would first require the Scottish Parliament to pass legislation, so aren't you getting the cart before the horse here?

And to repeat gusmac's point, even assuming the political will was there to change things, wouldn't this take years to implement?

John all i said was that you are respected, SKULL'S mind play's games with itself :lol:

Outwith his mission to shaft our trade and i mean utterly screw the Edinburgh Taxi trade, Skull is not that bad a guy :shock: He has though been brainwashed by Jasbar, He has gone to far, no way back and hey probably at the cost of his Taxi drivers licence :cry:

He does admit though he hopes the NY system is brought in (previous post) :shock: Is this his get out clause :?:

Skull do your self a favour and get out NOW and eh before you go blind :lol: :lol: :lol:

btw Dougie what hasn't crossed that unique mind of yours, is the fact that the council charging £30k for a license would dilute the market considerably, as to date i reckon some 400/500 incorporations have taken place with the current market price and higher,so you would have many more taxi's on the road,the only winners in your daft idea seem to be the council.

and don't think for a minute that the council wouldn't sell as many as they could.
surveys would be out the window, the only limiting factor to growth being the price of the application fee.and clearly that doesn't seem to be a factor.

you'd be solely responsible for the destruction of the trade :wink:

then again i think you already are responsible. :D
