  5. Lads its time for the tail to stop wagging the dog .All the full time drivers should set up our own cab company .The accounts would have to come on board because the other companys would have no cabs.The airport would have to drop their fee or they would have no cabs.We own the taxis not them its time to pull together .One man one share .cheap base for everyone better deals on cars ;fuel ,insurance,Its time to stop being on your own lets stand together and work together.email me if your intrested in putting things right and pass the word on.Hoping to her from everyone soon .We can only help ourselves nobody else gives a f**k if we starve.So come on lets get the finger out
