Confused...

YOUR registered with County Council but dont use your own vehicle? We have to provide own Insurances to keep working on school runs, hows does yours work?

You dont need a hack plate to have a WAV, a PHV will do[/quote]
yes , i registered with the l/a for school runs before knowing i would need a operators license if in a ph vehicle, if i have a hack the plate is the o/l, & the hacks get priority , my current school run is with a different company & its in a mini bus, i take 6 kids,to school in the bus, then drop the bus off at home & jump in the car :wink:

im more confused...

1
we have to provide insurance details for vehicles in use so i have 4 seats....end of, someone might get suss if i picked 7 up

2
hacks dont get priority, the lowest bid gets priority

3
your run is with a different company? so its their contract not yours (who invoices the county?)

4
registered with L/A? licensing have nothing to do with school runs, they are a county council matter

ask your doctor first then ask yourself why you force yourself to to what you hate to do and then tell us what diagnosis is...


can you call a shrink a doctor?

1) like i said i do it in a bus for a company that only does school runs & has 20 buses on, im insured through them

2) hacks do get priority around here, there is not 1 single ph driver i know of with his OWN run

3) i didn't say it was my contract if you care to read it again, the company give the forms to the council

4) you are correct, thats what i meant to say , school tranport section of the council, i was wrong

tbh , i cant understand how you find this confusing at all, i drive a ph vehicle, & do a school run for another company in a bus, they insure me & pay me once a month :roll:

Its not the norm cos you have a contract to do a job but dont own a vehicle capable of doing it, I wouldnt want (or be able) to tender for a 7 seat job only owning a 4 seat hack....

Even the dozyiest council transport geezer might wonder how 8 get in a Superb....

Is whale omelette thicker than ordinary omelette ? Bigger perhaps but I reckon the consistency is the same.
But size is dependent on the number of eggs used, so an ordinary omelette could be bigger than a whale omelette if you use lots and lots of eggs.

All irrelevant anyways as whales don't lay eggs. #-o

Now if you'd said thicker than whale spunk - that stuffs really thick, thicker than elephant spunk yet strangely doesn't taste as shrimpy as you'd think, unlike crocodile spunk which is just rank.
The moral of the story is don't annoy the waiter in a chinese restaurant. :badgrin: :wink:
