Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

cynic you are in no doubt a lib a left wing person who is not interested in the country he lives in ,

as usual, you are totally incorrect

Mentor
Your prejudices are tripping you up.
Not that it matters, but I identify as white, Anglo -Canadian, Christian.
The previous comment still stands. "Laurenrose the bigot speaks." L What's wrong with that??

your posts say you are a lib and a real lib ,

so cynic should we close our borders to immigrants and deport illegals . or should we open the doors to the world and sin k the uk .

myself I would sooner have nothing than see the uk flooded with immigrants
coming to the uk to clean cars wash dishes pay no taxes but destroy our services

I thought the Golden Rule for taking a taxi at the rank, was to take the front cab. This being fair to the other drivers who also want fares but who arrive at the rank behind the front, earlier driver.

I'm not sure that 'race or religion' should have anything to do with customer choice. And if they do, then that customer must surely be a racist or religious bigot or even both.

Furthermore, we all of us have to get on with each other in this world. Thus it is a bit of an obnoxious thing to ask a taxi driver to show, either his passport or whatever. I did think that, by law, the driver's ID and Taxi Licence has to be on display for any or all of his passengers to see on the inside of his cab. All of this stuff will have been inspected by the authorities. His cab is also numbered and licensed by the local authority, who can be complained to with a proper compilation of acquired evidence.

If in error or showing some illegality, then the taxi licence owner can be jumped on from a great height and his cab squashed along with his Operators Licence.

Quite right EL. Tanker, you were flat wrong in what you did. No need for it. Go sit on the naughty step.

rosie - at heart you are just a white supremacist ...... i am not

ex , fact hundreds of illegal taxi drivers . driving family taxes who should not be driving the taxi fact .

at night who knows who is behind the wheel . read the press on the issue who checks these drivers they only check now and again , be your own health and safety officer is what the council says if you are in doubt do not get in the taxi

just for ex . myself and my wife arrived back at the airport last year , the man was their waving is card with my name on it . when we got in the taxi . is words I do not no the way to your home you will have to tell me .
I have only been in the country 2 months


this is true and fact ,I never use that company now and have warned other friends

so if you do not like the taxi do not get in its your choice and freedom to do so
it is not racist its common sense

Manuel,

I thought you ran on clockwork.

Autumn Statement 2016: Everything you need to know and what it means for your money

CHANCELLOR Philip Hammond is giving his first Autumn Statement, where he is expected to lay out plans to help families who are just about managing - so-called JAMs.

What does the Autumn Statement 2016 mean for you?

Mr Hammond promised to "build an economy that works for everyone" and support struggling households.

Help for JAMs

It has already been announced that more money is to go towards the Universal Credit programme, the national living wage is to be raised and tenant letting agent fees will be axed.

It has been confirmed the Autumn Statement will be used to ban pensions cold calling, to help protect millions of vulnerable people from being tricked out of their life savings.

On top of these measures, it's rumoured that fuel duty may be frozen and air passenger duty could be scrapped to help holidaying families.

The Chancellor has earmarked £23billion for a new National Productivity Investment Fund to be spent on innovation and infrastructure ito raise Britain's productivity and boost the economy amid Britain's vote to leave the European Union (EU).

UK infrastructure will be at the heart of investment, as the government ploughs money into upgrading the country's transport and communication networks.

British roads will be improved with a fund of around £1.3bn, while another £1bn will be spent on providing more ‘full-fibre’ broadband across the UK, as well as investment in 5G trials.

Housing

The Government is to create a new £2.3 billion Housing Infrastructure Fund to deliver infrastructure for up to 100,000 new homes in high demand areas.

There will also be £1.4billion invested in affordable housing, helping to build 40,000 new homes.

Economy forecasts

The British economy is now forecast to grow by 2.1 per cent this year, UP from a previous forecast of 2 per cent in March - before the vote to leave the European Union (EU).

Growth in 2017 is predicted at 1.4 per cent, from previous estimates of 2.2 per cent; it's expected to reach 1.7 per cent in 2018, 2.1 per cent in 2019, and 2020 then 2 per cent in 2021.

The Chancellor today confirmed he would abandon predecessor George Osborne's unrealistic goal to get Britain's budget into a surplus by 2019/20.

He also announced three new three fiscal rules.

*Britain's budget should be returned to a surplus as early as possible, in the next government

*Public sector debt as a percentage of GDP must be falling by the end of this parliament

*Welfare spending must stay within a cap set by the Government
