Err, which part of when I said I don't have it was it you missed?

In fact the nearest I've ever been to the Button book was on Amazon :lol:

But which part of Mr Button's views on fare regulation is it that the judges disagree on?

Oh, OK then, not dry, just milk them, period.

After all, if you milked them dry they wouldn't be available to pay their juicy rentals :wink:

I see backing up your statements/ accusations is not one in your strong points

Well it seems to be quite well known that you run a fleet of cars in a restricted area, and don't drive. Correct?

QED

Now, how about you backing up this kind of makey-up stuff:

As I said, the nearest I've been to it is on Amazon. :lol:

So what does that make Captain Cab, then, who a couple of weeks ago was saying:

Quote:

Most LA's are okay once its explained to them the fare is a maximum and drivers can charge below it if they wish.

Funny that when I was taking him to task for this there wasn't peep out of you, I wonder why that was :roll:

But let's be charitable and assume you didn't see the thread.

But it's still there if you want to throw your tuppence worth in. Don't worry, I'll help you out if Captain Charisma starts getting lairy :lol:

Are you being deliberately thick?

Read what I posted earlier.

No, I've been at work since 7am....nipped home for a coffee.

But your daft point was addressed earlier on the thread.

Well if you think I'm that "thick" and "daft" then you'll have to spell out what you said earlier, because the only thing of relevance I can find is where you got the Curzon case wrong.

And my question was addressed to Brummie, since your stance on fare discounting seems clear enough from the quote below.

All I was asking was what he thought of your stance on it, since he seems to consider the OFT's take on it "barmy", although the OFT's stance seems similar to your own.

But in simple terms, presumably you and Brummie disagree over fare discounting??
