Lippy with respect I have not got a fukking clue what your saying ,why dont you speak english?

[The Liffey Lip]

I write and speak English, Dalyer.

[dalymount]

Bt you speak in riddles.im very interested in your opinion on different topics (I think)  but it would help if I understood whay you are saying

[The Liffey Lip]

I don't really..methinks you have been listening to a few dithering muppets here too much, Dalyer. If you were able to understand the Irexit conference speakers, then you're well able for harmless aul fools like me.

[dalymount]

Seriously lip I have not been influenced by anyone on here,in fact I was not aware anyone else even picked up on it,but I really do find it difficult to,decipher what you are saying at times.

[The Liffey Lip]

Think less and go with the flow..........it's a bit of mindless fun.

[dalymount]

Wont be fun if as John says is true that certain radio scum are now establishing themselves on the TAC.insofar as making us all join,they are pushing an open door.thats exactly what the Government want. They will really have the ear of the leinster,house crooks as well

Mr, and Mrs from the top of Glenalua Rd, going to town at 19.30 on Saturday for their 10th wedding anniversary dinner need to be able to call someone with connections to a reasonable amount of taxis to make one available to them for their special night. It is raining this Saturday, and Mrs doesnt want to walk the 200 metres to the road in her best frock and high heels, in the hope that she doesn't have to wait too long for a passing taxi.

It's a pity that the state does not link all taxis to a central base for a reasonable fee to cover costs, or that coops depend too much on voluntary work by a few.

At least the traditional taxi despatchers employ significant numbers of telephonists etc. and are available 24/7 to deal with clients problems unlike the app operators, having said that the competition from the apps has softened their cough which is no harm.

Increasing virtual market domination by the apps makes it necessary for those of us  needing higher than average takings to use them reluctantly.

Personally I would prefer to support Irish operators than large motor manufacturers whose long term goal is not in driver's interests.

NTA should have developed eHail infrastructure back when the technology became available with relevant costs covered through increased licence fees... alas, that ship has sailed.

Mr and mrs phone a taxi for 7_30 for their special night out.taxi turns up at 10_30 3 hours later.sound familiar ? at least when mr and mrs walk to the corner and hail one of the 5-million taxis that STILL operate in Dublin,they are sure of getting their car in real time.now does that not sound better then relying of the broken promises of Kearns,Ebbs,Kelly etc

There are some things which are unfixable, and I'm not talking about the taxi biz..

As an aside, who manufactured your car?

[dalymount]

Touche! Mercedes, and have found them to be very reliabe. I stated a preference not a dogma. I admitted using MT , and will reserve my protest to not purchasing a Mercedes autonomous vehicle when the time comes.
