Taxi Driver Online

Well thx for the geography lesson Mr P H Advocate and Gus the Gopher of the Scottish P H Advocate.


What you are forgetting to tell the readers is that Chichester is a small place with 57 Hacks and probably about 15 rank spaces, Chichester being in West Sussex isn't a representation of the picture though is it, you want folks to think 57 drivers have 300 miles all to themselves when they infact have few ranks and not much custom, Chichester is a uni village, you can walk to anywhere in a matter of minutes, working on what you tried to say we could say Manchester cabs can pick up anywhere south of Glasgow, Chichester is a pin [edited by admin] on the map you linked and you know it, you just like to cost others money, I think you are flawed myself, you issue the usual Skull type insults about having a drink and think that will restore you back to know all of the taxi industry.

There's no need to come into my profession and paint a picture that isn't true to enhance your justice calls to others, you are close to shooting yourself in the foot right now but you don't have the common sense to see it.

Tell you something Sussex

You are the same bloke who suggested shutting coal mines down in the 70's, the same bloke who thought selling utility companies to other countries was a good idea, the same bloke who sold Rover to BMW for virtually nothing knowing they only wanted the Mini and Range Rover from it, one for it's chic and the other for it's engineering secrets, you need to realise there is a world out there and it's not all like Brighton, and stop harping the tune about plates, you were given one, you sold it, if you really wanted it that bad you'd still have it wouldn't you?

Tell you something Gusmac

I've yet to see you type anything relevent and all you type is in support of others who you obviously see as your master's.

I wouldnt get too down on it.....at least the current system permitted them to consider it....albeit somewhat weirdly.......the new system wont allow them the privilege.

It's a highlight of the sort of plum that presides over everything now though, it's not only the cab game, it's lots of others from developers to entertainer's, unless there is something in it for them they decline the applicant, they set a set of rules and selectively choose which ones to follow.

WHEN MP'S ARE FOUND GUILTY OF STEALING BUT DO NO TIME FOR IT WHAT DOES THAT SAY?

Says to me it's time to put pressure on to get them removed, also says the system is being played by those entrusted to ensure fair play, i.e rotten apples, sure there has to be some good guys about, but there is a whole heap of manipulators out there right now, and these people will ensure society breaks for good eventually, if those at the top are seen to steal, those at the bottom will follow suit shortly after.

Do you want a system where there is a chance of a council re-regulating......or a system where they can't even if they wanted to?

The councillors are the people to work on.....I dont know what happened in Chichester....but the support of the LO was encouraging.

The councillors have surgeries......make sure they have a regular supply of cab owning voters. Eventually they might?

Good point CC


I bought my plate when it was unrestricted, you could get a WAV free but I wanted to remain in a car, our LO's I find good people and I know a lot of policy isn't what they want but what upstairs want and they get leaned on, there is also some sort of buying process going on, the owner of a PH firm was furious at a councillor a while back when a rank move was thwarted and was heard to say....I thought it was in the bag, same firm touted on the IOW for the festival trade as well recently, there's an issue with that that our council can't do anything and IOW council doesn't want the expense of it.

This is why I support the on the spot fines thing, if they start getting issued £60 tickets each night for pirating they will soon work it out they are working for nothing, overall I think it's an absolute disgrace the HC has been tarred by this cheap immitation that seeks to take over, we can all be busy by undercutting, but how far do you go with cost cutting, Ford aren't saying here have a 20k car for 10k are they so why should we have to suffer because slave traders are keeping it cheap, there is only one reform needed, PH gets it's rates set by the LO, it only picks up genuine bookings, and cars and drivers are of a good standard, if they want to say the HC isn't playing fair, then whose fault is it when over ranking happens, the driver or the idiot who issued too many licenses, most of the offences commited against customers are by PH drivers, the shame list here shows that, and so does the names as well.

I was going over that race issue with the BBC presenter who wanted a white woman to pick her 14 year old up but sadly got Miss I'llmakeacaseofthis answering the prone, I'm even thinking of contacting her and pointing her this way for a read so she can decide to sue both the BBC for unfair and the system in general for failing to respect the wishes of the concerned, she basically got stitched up, and to further aid her, we've had white sex predator drivers here before, one way or another they got shown the door, why isn't this happening across the board though, and another reform they can add, customer can choose the car of their choice, well that is actually a rule now but not well known, soon see some improving standards if Mr Stink and Mr Rude end up sitting on the front all day while others are hired from behind...........yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeugh I've had enough of this tbh Wayne, too many leeches, too many self servers, and too many Thatcherchilds.

57 doesn't seem a lot to somebody like me, but, I don't live in a rural community (mores the pity). Is there a steady increase in applications for a HCVL? How many ph are there?

But if they were all singled then you'd double/triple your take.

So then at least there'll be lots of student runs going half a mile up the road

I only pointed out the obvious bollux in what you said. Not that you bothered to check your facts.
Any lesson is wasted on a bigoted fool like you. Your kind never listen. Your always right. Legend in your pint glass.


Question is, what were you doing all those years while it was being fekked up?
That's right, same as the rest of this trade's fossils. Trying to feather your own bed at the expense of everyone else.
Now your trade is fekked. Just who's fault is that?
PH?, guys who want to drive their own hacks? immigrants?, council?, government?, courts?, EU?, bin laden?, tooth fairy?, Elvis?...........in fact everyone's except yours.
It must be hard, never being wrong.........at least in your own mind.
Pity with all that genius, you couldn't find a way to stop the rot.

Oh, and for the record, nothing promotes PH growth faster than restricted hack numbers.
A Hack licence denied is another PH on the road.
So if anyone is a promoter of PH, it's you and your restrictionist mates.

Resort to insults Doom. It's about all a pathetic little turd like you is worth.
You remind me of the kind that always seems to be floating in the bowl whenever I use a train lavatory.
Stinks to high heaven and won't go away no matter how many times it's flushed.

@ Gus, you live in Scotland about 500 miles away from the Chi area what could you possibly know about the local conditions there or the geography of the place, you came in with yer two big feet talking about something you know nothing about again didn't you, those links show Chi being seen in the same light as Glasgow being the whole of Scotland, nobody hails a cab nor is there a rank in 30 miles of dual carraigeway woodland, PH increases due to Baron's, if you restricted them by issue numbers i.e one man one plate then PH fleets will decrease to earnable driver levels, there is no management in PH and to sum it up for you PH is like the guy who knocked the door for some sugar and then a week later emptied your larder in my eyes, PH is where the greed lies and immigrants are being used to fuel the number increase by abusive baron's, I don't have a problem with immigrants but I do have a problem when they are encouraged to come here to plug gaps a British person can no longer financially afford to take.

The trade is basically fecked because folks like you want to carpetbag on it, what you are too stupid to see is you think you are the only one who will apply, working on your idea's a full up nightclub should allow more than it's capacity in if more than it's capacity is stood outside and they should all be allowed in for free, fact is you are a tight little benefit minded scrounger who thinks everyone else owes you instead of getting off your backside and making something of yourself, I want a 7 series BMW to float around in but I can't afford to run one, nobody is telling BMW they must supply me one because I want one though are they, I'll bet you are the sort who if he could license a saloon hack you'd pick a 150k mile Vx Astra rather than buying say a 2 year old Skoda Superb so your customers would ride in comfort wouldn't you, just a cheap schemer in my eyes, that is how I see you mate.

Caveat Emptor....????? oh please, it's a job not a cheap HiFi from Currys.

@ Sussex, well mate, I've been reading you for 3 years now and others who knew of your intent before that have said your mission isn't pure, myself I just know what you suggest isn't workable everywhere in the country but you won't be told, you seem to think you know best even though your model has ruined 75% of the trade up and down the country and this thread proves who and what you are because you will know the Chi area quite well and you'll also know your 57 plates in woodland county is a distorted bias way of trying to say there is SUD there, how many times do you need telling you are heading for the rocks before you order the helmsman to turn about?

Chi is about the same size as the immediate area you stayed in when I met you, factor in the chalk hills and from the roundabout off the M-way to where the castle is Toots, it sits in Wast Sussex pretty well on it's own, the rest of it is one road villages, as CC said when he broke the area down into pockets earlier you have places like Selsey which are serviced by small PH firms because out of 4000 people only the likes of Lesley Joseph is possibly going to get a cab maybe twice a week, the hack whose actually working there isn't telling lies and nor would be a Havant hack either, Havant basically has one rank outside the station and that is about it, seems there has been an increase in applicant's though and that's why the existing guys are asking for a limit before £40 a day becomes £20 per day etc, even at £40 per day it's not sustainable for too long and I would imagine when drivers get to the end of the car deal they will fold up, it's what happens when you have a one horse town that the god council thinks is a suburb of London.

If LA's could zone an area....this place would appear ideal.

Yes, yes, yes, but recall our pal from the small village of Rye in East Sussex who took nearly half a grand on his first night, so I'm inclined to take what you say with a pinch of salt
