SMS from Flag:

Hi Grath,

Our offices on 48 Mount Street are closed today and tomorrow due to meetings. Opens as usual Thursday morning for drivers that would like to call in. Thanks again to all for coming in and registering. Keep an eye out for Dave and Ted on the ranks this week. Safe Driving

Maybe Grath should send them a mail telling them that sending Dave around taxi ranks might not be a good idea!!
I'm surprised that no one from Flag knows his tactics from his Hailo days(or maybe they do!!) and that some drivers have long memories.

I think Mohammed is a fairly common first (almost said Christian) name among Ireland's taxi drivers.

I doubt trading restrictions extended to counter staff, Ken.

No obviousely it didn't, counter staff were most usually kept on by their new employer, but most of the small independent bookies got a massive 100K Ir Punts wedge fer even the smallest of premises with a licence and went off to do other things, mostly working their local race-courses and dog-tracks at their leisure.
Thirty years on and today's Irish bookie shops have no value at all, William Hill, Stan James, Victor Chandler, Etc all took their lose's and headed home empty-handed. LawBreakers are only hanging on because it's cheaper to stay rather than pay the staff redundancies, a lot of old LawBreakers staff were kept on from their last job with their former employer meaning that some of their time worked would be over Thirty or even Forty years and Lawbreakers sure don't want to be paying anyone a Thirty or Forty year redundancy package.

That would be in reference to Ladbroke, seeing as how they Broke the Law back in the 60's
and had their Ladbroke casino licence revoked by the UK gaming authorities fer a full Ten years,
then I thought LawBreakers was a fair reference.

It's quite a fascinating story if you wish to Google and review it.
In the end it was the 'Church-going' lady secretary who refused
to delete the Ladbroke X casino files before the police arrived
that sold them 'Down the Swanee' !

RC.. You are right, future captains of industry and most will go on to become bigger scabby dickheads. I would rather pick up out of councils estates all the time. Never had any trouble, have their money ready, usually cash and 99% give you a tip.

Course is going well, on placement now til May, I could have used that time and resources to develop eircab. Genuinely believe in a drivers app that is really owned by drivers but would have been mad to go head to head with whistle and deflect from either's success. Whistle was a few months ahead with their app development.
