Wheelchair accessibility Joke!

Post  northtynehack on Wed Jun 25, 2008 1:38 am

A well known Taxi/Private Hire firm in North Shields,boasts in the paper of a brand new fleet of wheelchair friendly Fiat Doblos,yet half of them have no ramps,they share spare wheels and fire extinguishers and the drivers dump wheelchair jobs from their plotters. Not wheelchair friendly just an easy way to get a Hack!!

WHAT'S WRONG WITH A CENTRAL DOBLO?

Post  central enthusiast on Tue Jul 08, 2008 7:38 pm

Everyone slags of Central, but it was very interesting that two weekends ago a member of the CB Mafia borrowed a Doblo off golden Graeme, because his Hack was off the road!, probably crashed it using his Polaroid snapping Private Hire drivers just making a living!, OR his big Antenna fell off!!!
IF THE DOBLO'S ARE GOOD ENOUGH FOR THE PERFECT BUNCH (The CB Mafia), THEN THEY ARE GOOD ENOUGH FOR ANYONE ELSE!!!!!!!!!

One more thing, someone complained about a Doblo with a baldy Tyre, 3pts and £60 quid fine they wanted and did'nt get, about timr the Private Hire Bunch purchased a Speed camera, because the CB Mafia do 50 mph plus along Hillheads Rd and the Broadway on a saturday night!
Speeding is also 3pts & a £60 fine as well Ladies, so no one one is perfect are they?
GROW UP!!!!!!!

comment to Mr central enthusiast, why don't you take your brown tongue out of bundy's arse hole and get a grip boy, first and foremost i don't think that the bund would let anyone "not even his own mother" borrow a car,i think you'll find they would of had to pay "probably over the odds" for the hire of such vehicle,and would have checked that the vehicle concerned was up to scratch before he stepped foot in to it as we all no that there is many more than one dob-lo kicking about at central. Also if you were a hack driver yourself then you would also be concerned about the many private hire who constantly sit on the ranks which i think you'll find Carry's a fine,and then illegally picks fares up off the streets would you not ? So the only ones that are causing any animosity is the likes of yourself, and yes someone did complain about the baldy tyre that bundy was working the rank in, and had a right to do so, the words "PUBLIC SAFTEY" spring to mind, what would you do if any of your kids or member of your familly got in that vehicle and was involved in an accident caused by that baldy tyre which he new about ? I'm sure you would have something to say then!The pics that are took are to show the council what goes on when they are not around, so if you dont want your pic took then its simple :dont park there ! you also say why is there no other cars like blue line in the gallery? thats because every office got a letter off alan newton and were told to keep their cars off the hack ranks and theyve obviously listned unlike some central drivers who think they can do as they please and just take the piss. you dont seem to realise that all we are trying to do is make a living, i no who should grow up !!!!!!!!!!!

HACK

Post  central enthusiast on Thu Jul 10, 2008 4:34 pm

Hack!
Let me inform you that I don't have my nose up Bundy's arse or ever will, Bundy has given me in the last 6 months the worst cars in his fleet, I don't run around in any of his 07 Doblo's/Vectra or that 08 Skoda.
My point is that those Central wagons parked on the rank could just be picking up their bookings, a few Central customers who have been to Iceland will book a Taxi from there, so why should any driver refuse to pick up from there?, just because you lot are hiding with a camera to snap them!.
Why don't you approach the Car in a peaceful manner and ask to see the Drivers Datahead, to see if there is a Booking from there and also check the time, if the Driver is genuine then he will show you it, I would.
It's obviously you are going the wrong way about things and I would suggest that you approach the culprits in person, rather than hiding.
As for Blueline!, there PH and Berwick squad think they own the Rank at the Anson in Wallsend, they once chased me from there and I was in a Hack, a NT one too!!!!!, Bundy's of course!
Eastcoast Private Hire and Berwick park on the Rank at Whitley Bay Metro and have always done especially through the day, Preston PH often park at the Rank at Tynemouth Metro, so don't target Central.
I was paying Bundy £283 for the honour of driving one of those smart Doblo's, mine was a delux model, it came with 4 wheels and part-time brakes anyway, I caught
numerous Berwick's Hacking in Whitley, but you lot never wanted to help or know, I caught one on a Saturday night, I was verbally abused, I flagged one of the CB Boys to see if they were for real and they simply did'nt want to know, so that's why I see your site as a dart board for Central and it's drivers.

CENTRAL ENTHUSIAST

Post  A HACK on Thu Jul 10, 2008 8:36 pm

For your information the p h who are ranking up outside MacDonald's have been approached by hack drivers to see if they are waiting legitimately [in a professional manner]and yes they do show the job on the screen "if they have one" but that is not the only issue, p h are also parking up on the ranks and leaving their cars while they go shopping so it is making it difficult for us hacks to rank up, don't get me wrong some hacks also do the same so they are just as bad but don't worry they have also been asked not to or they themselves will find their photo on this site. the reason that most of the gallery looks as though its aimed at central is simple, central taxis operate from the centre of north shields, the hacks also operate from the centre of north shields, there is by far more central cars than there is hacks, you don't get many east coast, blue-line or many other office cars around there so that is why 9 out of 10 cars that are there are mainly central cars, also the reason that its mainly pics of the MacDonald's rank is again easy to explain, we are trying our hardest to generate more work for our selves because as you well no the taxi game is getting harder and harder. We have tried the Whitley bay rank but there is not much work there and same story our ranks in Whitley bay have p h sitting on them as well as pictured in our gallery same as wall-send. the whole point of taking the pics is to show what actually goes on when the council are out of sight, as you will no yourself. Our aim is not to get any driver into any trouble whatsoever, we do not threaten, intimidate or abuse any drivers ever, as you have mentioned before, we are all sensible, mature adults who just want to earn a crust like the next man.........

A HACK!
A fair response, but one thing I don't agree is your words "we do not threaten, intimidate or abuse any drivers", like I have stated, the hack boys "Cherry pick" there victims, I am not saying that is you personally.

ermmmm, this topic was originally put in to invite comments regarding the 1995 DDA regulations, but now that it looks like the act is dead in the water, carry on with your banter. Smile

middle way

Post  taxi_buddha on Fri Jul 11, 2008 1:59 am

I think central enthusiast is another way of saying 'middle way' are you a buddhist?
if so we can talk. the middle way can be gentle or not gentle, kind or mischevious, when really the middle way should be neither one thing or the other a sitting between two opposites, two opposites...Hackney & Private Hire, first one then the other,sometimes both and others neither....everything is emptiness...words have no meaning...only sounds or letters on a keyboard,jumbled up messed around put into heads..we are here! now! in the midst of mischeviousness..players all of us.
of course if you are not a buddhist then this must sound like pure horseshit..there's a lot of that round here! Rolling Eyes Sayonara!

Post  A HACK on Fri Jul 11, 2008 9:41 pm

Might i just add, that we do not hide around corners like you suggested people have been approached face to face" in a nice manner of course" and i no not of anyone threatining anyone,or " cherry picking" and if such was the case then they should have taken the matter up through the proper chanels, or are you just starting to Sleep kid ?
