children and commit yourself to a life time of debt for a job that will
kill you. This
may be the answer.
Will You be taken to court for not having change?.
If you live in Bristol, you might.

of the latest crazy idea from the loony tunes.
A Member of Parliament, a Bristol Councillor and
a Taxi Driver go into a restaurant in Bristol. The waiter says, "I'm sorry,
but if you wanted the steak you might not get one as there is a shortage."
The MP said, "What's a shortage?"
The Taxi Driver said, "What's a steak?"
The Councillor said, "What's I'm sorry?"

No Change ! what do you mean
you have no change,
your a taxi driver , you have to give me change. ??.
If you have provided a service to someone,
then they owe you a debt.
The onus is therefor upon them to discharge that debt,
in full.
Not upon you to provide change to enable them to do so.

as a warning to other councils. |

Well-done Bristol Airport
I was at the airport the other day; a
man and his family had just flown in after being on holiday. He collected
his car from the car park came back to the terminal to collect his family.
He went into the terminal to help his wife and children with the luggage.
By the time he got them back across the road, his car had been clamped.
His wife had to work hard to calm him, he wanted to punch the clamper
who was sat in his van across the road, smiling. While I was there 3 others
had also been clamped.

Good Taxi driver relations
I was at the airport the other night and
was given assistance in finding my client. I would like to thank those
2 security people (1 male 1 female). Assistance to taxi drivers is reported
to others who might like to use this facility.

It has been confirmed, the people from
Commission for Integrated Transport are absolutely barking mad.
They have given Helen Holland an award. She has been named Local
Authority Transport Personality of the Year. What a mess she has
made of the traffic in this city. She should be fired not rewarded.
Ask any taxi driver.
_______________________
David Begg, Chair of the Commission for Integrated Transport, was
a member of the assessment panel. Welcoming the announcement, he
said:
"These authorities should be proud of the work they have done
so far. There is still much to do before these plans become reality
but these Centres of Excellence can show others the way. Their designation
is well deserved."

This airport was owned by First Bus and the City
Council and they do not like taxis anywhere near their airport. It has
now been sold. Let us hope that the new owners can change the bad reputation
of this facility

A short time ago a friend of mine had to pick up a client
from Bristol Airport. He parked his car in the taxi park and
went into the terminal. The flight was delayed and there were
problems for the passengers getting through the exits. But
my friend waited as he promised he would.
By the time they got clear 98 minutes had passed. When he
tried to get his car out of the park, He was told he would
have to pay £50 to get his car out. £50
for 98 minutes!
Dick Turpin was a pussycat compared to Bristol Airport. |

Bristol Airport
managers have made the ultimate anti terrorist move. A strategy
that I am sure will be copied by antiterrorist police around
the world. The news of this plan will be on the lips of
the spies and double agents of all nations.
They have put a line of CONES
along the front of the terminal building making sure that
none of their passengers can be dropped off or picked up
from the airport without paying the exorbitant parking fee
and walking a quarter of a mile up a steep embankment.
Mr I Diot, A spokesman for the airport said “we take
security seriously and we are sure that these cones will
deter even the most determined terrorist.Should the terrorist
breach our outer cordon of steel (cones) and try to unload
items of a dangerous nature such as a case or a pushchair,
then phase two comes into force. We clamp it, making it
imposable for the terrorist to get away without paying a
hefty fine ”.
Could this be a hard line approach to criminals or could
it be the airport trying to rip their passengers off. I’m
sorry Bristol but you are just Greedy, Greedy, and Greedy.
Bristol Airport
undercover security agents have successfully infiltrated
a team of criminals who have hatched a plan to cross
the cone cordon to drop an elderly lady at the departure
door.
During the pre operation briefing, Mr I Diot told
his staff “ This level of disobedience to the
Bristol Airport Authority would not be tolerated.
We must make an example of these people.”
I say "Good luck to the passengers"

| Banning
Saloon Taxis,
WHY ?
| By
removing the service that enables the elderly and non-wheelchair
disabled access to a taxi, are the council acting
illegally? |
Ask
Granny what she thinks, when you tell her she cant have a saloon
taxi.
I have e-mailed a copy of
the above paper to every Bristol councilor.Of the 69 e-mails
sent I have had 4 replies.
Did
your councillor reply?
If not ask why.
I asked my councilor why I
did not get a reply. He said, " I get so much paperwork
I put a bin liner full of it out for recycling every week".
"If you would like to write to me outlining your points
and get all the elderly and infirmed people who can not use
these vehicles, to write to the council. I will put your case.
"
In other words " bugger off".
As you can imagine I was in his surgery for some time.
This conserns all Bristol people
not just taxidrivers.

Is the
Disability Discrimination Act to stop the elderly and non-wheel

getting around by taxi.
Saloon Taxis. BANNED,
why?
The City Licensing Committee have the
opportunity to put right one of the most unpopular and ludicrous
pieces of local government legislation to affect the elderly
and not so agile in a long time.
Let us hope that they have the good sense to take this decision
and allow a mixed taxi fleet. Any sane person can see that
a policy that discriminates against the elderly and disabled
who are not in wheelchairs, is wrong.
Let's put it right. |

I would like to show
you a paragraph from a Bristol City Council leaflet, called
Don't
Choke Bristol.
"Bristol is the first
city in Britain to have government approved road signs requesting
motorists to switch off idling engines.
If you see somebody idling politely
ask the driver to switch off the engine as an idling
car produces 80% more pollutants than one running. On the
2nd Feb 1998 a new offence of unnecessary idling was created
carrying a maximum fine of £1000."
The fact that Bristol City
Council is causing the traffic to be idling in the first place
does not appear to be mentioned.
