For a fella that is not with a dispatcher you are getting very excited by something that does not concern you .I bet you root through your neighbors Green bin to make sure they are not putting non recyclables in it .

[mercenary for hire]

Daly for every grumpy bastard like me that will tell Freenow to get stuffed there are 99 drivers who will comply and buy screens without asking questions.This is why we get walked on.The drivers in the minority cannot change things.No point getting worked up over it.

John is it not obvious to you why I want to see the death of dispatchers ? Im an independent right ?  Now you tell me what chance I have of staying in the game when nearly every driver is aligned to one or other  of them ? So all im  doing is fighting for survival,but at the same time,watching my colleagues being screwed by these cunts.also it DOES effect me.if for example Ebbs or F/N go down the road of screens(which they have done) how long do you think the rest of the fleet will survive if they DONT get a screen.this is another example of these cunts costing us money,and instead of opposing it,your having a go at me

They ARE NOT YOUR COLLEAGUES they are YOUR COMPETITION .This is a competitive business we all compete for the same fares and lads will do whatever they think will suit their business most .Big Dommos youngones youngeone workes as a Whore she wears knee high boots and crotchless nickers as she thinks that helps her get business her sister is a brazer as well she dresses in business suits .Its a simple matter of designing your business product to suit your needs .

Luke O Neill mentioned on PK yesterday that shouting is a risk factor.

Bob.....YOU SHOULD HAVE PUT THAT IN CAPS!!

[Pugwat]

If a passenger requests a screen and a taxi arrives with cling film on the head rests would they accept that?

I WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE TO GET THE FUKK OUT OF THIS GAME, I'M SICK OF IT, STICKERS, SCREENS, FUK'D NOW, NCT, SUITABILITY, KIDS, DRUG RUNS, INANE CONVERSATIONS. HELL IS OTHER PEOPLE.

Ebbs used to claim Lymp had 2,000 cabs, now it's only 1500, so I guess that's progress. Dalymount should be a little happy.

[dalymount]

No ill only be happy when all these cunts are rendered surplas,to requirements

[Bob Shillin]

Then there  will remain only the most expensive despatcher the country has ever seen, with little or no street work, just as well that you will have the double pension, and not need the work that the young married single income family man, with a mortgage needs. "Pull up the ladder".

[dalymount]

Bob your preaching to the converted.ive always said anyone not aligned is fukked,myself included I have also said many times on here that the lads who really need to make a living from this game is young married men .all these things you throw at me,I have already agreed with.the fact remains though,they are being exploited by dispatchers,who are well aware they can bounce them around any way they want whenever they feel like it,and imo the unions have not been strong enough to protect them.I would hate to be a young man depending on this game for my living,but then again if I was a young man again I doubt I would be in the game in the first place.

[Bob Shillin]

The customer who pays our wages requires a despatch network.
My 1st preference would be for a non profit one, run by the state with a compulsory link for drivers.
My 2nd preference would be for a driver's cooperative, but that ship has sailed for several reasons, mainly for the same reason that we are taxi drivers.
The traditional despatchers would be an infinitely better, and financially more rewarding option than Fuk'd Now.
Street work is now all but gone, and it's now the driver who needs a despatcher more thatn ever if he wants "raise a family, pay a mortgage work/money".

[dalymount]

I actually agree with your first 2 choices,and if a state run transperent dispatch operation was set up I would give serious consideration to staying,but it would have to be state run for me anyway,others might feel differently

[john m]

Imagine a TD willing to support a Government and all he wanted was a state run taxi app OH BUT then lads would say Me Bollox then the fucking tax man would know what we are earning .There is the taxi industry in a nutshell.
