madalaa said:and as I said if there was a decent scrappage scheme offered that did not leave the cab owner out of pocket it could happen a lot quicker ....... but I see no reason why a cab owner should be left out of pocket after spending a considerable sum buying his cab in the first place.
I am still perplexed as to what subsidies black cab owners get from the taxpayer or other road users ...... :dont know:
there is a scrappage scheme, except as you've pointed out you want more ££££

you've all being spinning the "out of pocket" argument for long enough, tell that to public sector workers
the costs you complain out, which are only a few hundred £ for a year

if you're charging £10 for 2 miles then you'll make up those costs in over a day

so where are you out of pocket ?
