.......We are all where we are in life as a direct consequence of our own actions, nobody owes anyone a damn thing in this life, the state doesn't owe you anything, the taxpayers don't owe you anything nor do your friends or family, it all comes down to you! The good news is that taking action can also give you whatever you want, if you know what you want and take action most of the time you'll get it.....

Well said Tim.

Yea I like like that.... But sometimes shite and bad luck comes yur way....
Life is a game o backgammon not chess.
.Sometimes the dice is a bit of a cunt....
Most important ting for me is self forgiveness.... I'm a flawed cunt... But I'm all I got....
Now.... Lookin forward to a few pints Monday night
Ide rather be a poor master than a rich servant

@ Tim 1 Seriously if you completed 2 years of a Business Degree go back and finish it ,You say your an Entrepreneur IN THE TAXI BUSINESS FFS I would love to see your business plan .No fixed overheads as you have no control over input costs .Fuel is fluctuating in price insurance is a bigger secret that any known to only members of the Magic Circle .Government can control what class of vehicle you operate .It is easier now to enter the Taxi industry than it ever has been A Subsidized 5 yea old Wheelchair adapted vehicle and 125 for a licence .Although you struggle to pass the entry exam it is simple took me all of 8 minutes to get a psv and unfortunatly I couldnt beat that time when I got 97% correct in the Certified driver test some years ago ..In all seriousness Tim go back and finish your degree .Taxi driving is not a viable job .Although we refer to the taxi industry as deregulated it is one of the most regulated ,from the vehicle you drive to where you can drive to what equipment you need to carry all regulated and the fare you can charge for the service is regulated.

He is John...an entrepreneur, that is.....did you know about this, ya bollix? rofl

Maybe after the temporary ban a few of the 40000 Uber lads might wanna try and be full taxis for a change.For the price of a secondhand Prius you'd have your own wheelie taxi on the road.Be your own man.

Haven't heard any reports of them losing drivers or customers. Could be Addison Lee drivers (too), I guess.
