It would be more accurate to say this is what happens when an LA de-limits without decent driver standards.

If the standard is low, it's hardly a surprise that every Tom, Dick and Achmed floods into the trade.
Unfortunately, low driver standards are advantageous to owners in a limited area.
Perhaps we should be less interested in how they dress and more interested in what they know.

Is MadJim campaigning for higher driver standards in Edinburgh?

Can'y say I've seen anything he's sent in decrying driver standards, although there's a couple of folks on fastblacks have mentioned it.

Perhaps he should start a campaign about how sh*t edinboro drivers are?

Then start his ferret talk.

nope! i like a nice wee pot

yours is more of an army benmari though

So are you saying there's a net increase in drivers overall, or are you just saying that PH operators will just take on new drivers that they would have taken on anyway regardless of restricted numbers or otherwise?




Name an area that has a 'very busy taxi trade'?

Do I write to quickly for you or is your view that blinkered you can't see past your own opinion? If you don't agree with me then just say so and then express your opinion if you wish to but don't ask me if what I've said is different to what I actually said. If you don't understand what I mean just say so.

With regard to whether I know an area that has a very busy taxi trade, no I don't know one, but I do know plenty where drivers work longer hours to earn the same or less money than they did

Oh dear. I thought it was quite a reasonable question, so I take it from your bizarre and intemperate response that you can't answer the substance?

And if you want to get clever with other people's spelling then your fourth word should be 'too', not 'to'.

So if you don't know any areas with a 'very busy taxi trade' then doesn't that make your earlier statement a bit meaningless?

And am I allowed to even ask such a question?

I have no idea, perhaps you could ask him.

The original post by toots and commented on by BC was more general and didn't mention either Jasbar or Edinburgh.
Personally, I don't think driver standards in Edinburgh are all that bad. At least they have a knowledge test, unlike some places I could mention.

How many LAs pass out driver licences to almost anyone with an ordinary driving license and the application fee, with little regard to whether the applicant actually knows where they are going?
Some don't even check that the applicant can drive safely, speak English, count change, isn't wanted for genocide abroad or even has the legal right to work in this country.



Well that one is for him to answer.
Perhaps he has no problem with driver standards as a whole, just a dislike for them as people.

Oh well, you know what thought was

You're quite right it should have been 'too' but the edit button is broken so wtf. Btw it's a grammatical error not a spelling mistake

No it doesn't and yes you can ask what you like

Good point.

On the other hand, if you know the difference then doesn't that make it a spelling mistake?
