I got the same Free Now email.  I wonder who is the "mytaxi Ireland Ltd / Company Registration No. 510447" that is mentioned at the bottom of the email?  oops

FN are not having a great time themselves - their rating on Google Playstore is 2.4/5  oops

Company registration number 510447 is actually Mytaxi Network Ireland Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Mytaxi Network Ltd which a UK registered company - the last time I checked Mytaxi Network Ltd was a wholly owned subsidiary of German company Moovel GMBH which, with possibly another link or two in the corporate chain, is now ultimately a 50/50 partnership between the Daimler and BMW groups.

Moovel trades as Your Now these days and operates under the brands Share Now, Free Now, Park Now, Reach Now, Charge Now, Drive Now and Car2Go.

^ apologies Watty, you need to slot Intelligent Apps GMBH in between Mytaxi Network Ltd and Moovel GMBH, if memory serves... i.e. Mytaxi Network Ltd is a wholly owned subsidiary of Intelligent Apps GBMH which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Moovel GBMH... Anywaysanall, ultimately they're all (i.e. the whole Your Now / Share Now group is) owned jointly by Daimler and BMW.

OK Hal and anothr, this one is a fckn classic.

The Pope was having a shower, and although he's very strict about celibacy, he occasionally felt he needed to exercise the papal wrist, and this happened to be one of those occasions.


Just as he reached the Papal climax, he saw a photographer taking a picture of the Holy semen flying through the air.


"Hold on a minute!" said the Pope, “You can't do that - you'll destroy the reputation of the Church!".


"This is my lottery win", said the photographer, "I'll be financially secure for the rest of my life with these photos!"


So, the Pope offered to buy the camera from the photographer, and after much negotiation, they eventually settled on a figure of €2,000,000.


The Pope clothed himself and headed off to destroy the images on the camera.


Along the vast Vatican hallways, he bumped into his personal housekeeper.


Being a bit of a photography buff, she noticed the camera and said, "That looks like a really expensive digital SLR camera, how much did it cost you?"


Not being one to lie, the Pope replied, "Two million Euros.."


"TWO MILLION Euros!" replied the housekeeper, "Wow! They must have seen you coming!"

This thread just goes to show how many drivers are still using the app. Remember when the commission increase was announced a few weeks ago there was loads saying they'll switch it off.Freenow must be breaking their holes laughing at us.

Trouble is there's nobody to organise such a protest. You're talking to a couple of dozen drivers on here...
Title: Re: 5 Gold Stars
Post by: Horse on February 08, 2020, 02:47:43 am
Surely in this day of social media and the like it could be organised. If everyone switched it off at peak times they would be in a spot of bother fairly rapid. I cant understand working it during these times when the traffic is shite trying to get to the jobs and theres more  street hails at these times anyway. It's not like you need them at these times but they fooking need you.

Post by: Rat Catcher on February 08, 2020, 01:11:42 pm
I don't use social media myself so I'm not sure. A group of immigrant drivers did organise a couple of protests that were reasonably well subscribed, not sure if their social media is published in English?
Title: Re: 5 Gold Stars
Post by: Horse on February 08, 2020, 02:21:29 pm
I don't really give a shit rats as I don't use them much but if I was using them as much, as say you, I would be very concerned and trying to organise a protest in whatever way I could.  I mean theres drivers out there who get all of their wages off fn who simply took that commission increase up the ass and are now carrying on like nothing happened,  not to mention the ambassadors,  who advertise for free, make the vast majority of their wages off fn and quite simply took a big hard one straight up the anus with the commission increase and it's like they're bending over asking fn to not only fcuk them again up the ass but will gladly let fn ask all his mates over so they can stick it up their bum too.

Only if you work with them it is which thankfully,  at the mo, is not mandatory in order to get your wages, it soon will be, but thankfully not yet. It's the ambassadors I feel sorry for (not really). They're the ones having prison sex with about as much choice in the situation as a 23 year old aspiring actress would have in a Harvey Weinstein interview. They must like it rough.
