Well you have me there Kennetth auld son, no denying it. Are ya going to frame it ?
Nope, I'm neither going to Frame it or ever mention it again.
But I'm sure your group would encourage you to 'Bend your Knee'.

I did it, by God it wasn't easy, but I Fookin did it.
It was the hardest thing I ever done (on my knees).

I disagree, saying you hate dispatchers is not expressing hate for an individual, it's hate for a method of doing business, he doesn't hate Noel Ebbs or Vinnie Kearns as individuals, he hates the way their companies deal with Taxi drivers, it's very different to hating somebody or "anybody" it's akin to hating Facebook or Television.
point most definitely not proven Ken, relax DM you're not yet demonised

You weren't wrong.

Ah come on now. I bend me knees every night
So do I, when I'm in bed.
I have made my peace and restitution with all,
it took a long time and a lorra work,
but when I go to bed by day these nights,
my main concern is should I lie on my Right side or my Left side.

The only person I hate...... Is actually no one !!

Strange thing about it is ocky, I haven't said one word of critizem in about a week now about dispatchers. I decided about a week ago, there is no point. Not so much letting it go, but just realized I'm pissing against the wind. I've tried my best, but it wasn't good enough. I decided if drivers are hell-bent on being treated like children, and being dictated to by dispatchers, then there's no point in me trying any more. I still hope covid will take a few of them out though

It would probably be fairer to say you hate immigration than Immigrants, liking one immigrant (for whatever reason) disproves your comment that you hate immigrants, similarly I'm sure you could probably think of a good reason for some immigration, then your comment would be watered down to hating certain forms of immigration, which would be probably true of many of us, it might be a good idea for you to decide which types of immigration you "hate"  and to argue your point on that basis, as saying you hate immigrants or even immigration is so easy to argue against it can make you look stupid.

We'll need the dispatchers to market our businesses when if/when restrictions start to be phased out. I, for one, will be relying on the Free Now suits to get me some work so I can give them 24% of whatever discounted fares they can attract.

Anyone who needs reasonable money/hours in this game will seriously miss the traditional despatchers if they all go bang after this crisis. This is a strong possibility for many of them. With the street work all but gone, or worth only pennies, FN at 24% will be the only game in town.
Trump has called for help, so I'm on a plane heading for The Strait of Hormuz, talk soon.

I don't think 24% commission is our biggest problem just yet.Watch the app and radio companies discount the PUC again as soon as they think drivers will take it. That's gonna be the biggest hit to incomes in the next 12 months.

So potentially two quid a job gone and 15% commission from the remaining fare.With our costs at an all-time high.We deserve everything coming to us TBH.We're far too eager to chase virtual medals and put free advertising on our vehicles.Can't wait.
