It seems wires are getting crossed here! we just got a rambling comment from a Cramlington Hack,Northumberland plated I presume.
Anyway he has read this site (He called it a Forum) we are much more than a mere forum, we are a super calibrated shit hot Taxi news web portal! He says he has read the sit/forum but in reality he has only read the Comments. There are Court Judgements,Policy documents Acts of Parliament and much more within this site but he chooses to read only the Comments,glean what he can about the situation at hand and come back with a well thought out Comment of his own.Which, in a Nutshell says “you’s lot down there put Cowshit in my mates Taxi so watch oot or we’ll start workin your area” Well we did not and have never had anything whatsoever to do with the rear end of a Cow, though some fares from Whitley Bay last Saturday did come close.
OK! OK! please don’t work our area, We will never say nasty things about Northumberland Hacks again, we will just carry on going to work and takin it up the backside from anyone who wants to call themself a Taxi in North Tyneside or Newcastle and even South Wales. We won’t complain anymore because we should be sharing what little work we have with anyone who wants to come here. There now! Crammy Hack switch off your PC and worry not as everything is settled.
This is how shit happens! Somebody comes here and reads a little bit about Berwick & Northumberland and immediately takes the hump because they happen to drive a Northumberland Hack. They operate that Hack quite legitimately,as a Hack,within their own Licenced area,just as the majority of Hacks throughout the Country do but they think this site is having a go at them. Well it isn’t it is actually actively engaged in an ongoing discussion about the rights and wrongs of out of town plated taxis working as Private Hire in neighbouring areas. Why would we not talk about something like this just as a Cramlington Hack will talk about Taxi operations close to their borders. It’s common knowledge ‘Worldwide’ that Taxi drivers like to MOAN, but being Geordies we like to moan and have a bit of a laugh about it. I’ve got to say the Cowshit thing is Funny, not for the recipient I’ll grant you but your average North Tynesider would not know what a slurry tank was let alone find one and drag it up to Northumberland. No mate sounds more homegrown that piece of tomfoolery, It’s the countryside, you must have slurry thingys on every corner ripe for the taking and dragging off to dump on some unsuspecting Taxi.
Glad you took the time to visit our little site, please come back soon. All “Taxi Drivers” Hackney, Private hire,Berwick, Costa Del Sol, pedicab (well not pedicabs) you know what I mean, are Welcome

I know where there’s a slurry tank just off Wallsend High Street and there’s another one on Kenton Lane.
This Hill Billy is wrong!
This Website is the “House of Commons” of the Taxi trade or the Epicentre of Taxi Politics!!!!!
Well I would have said that cow shit should be the least of their worrys as they screw a shit plate on the back of their cars anyway and they make all of our (ligit drivers) jobs a mixture of dog, horse, cow and catapilar shit by polluting our normally perfect little world lol
Order, Order.
Settle down and from now on any further business will be directed through the chair.
Firstly I will outline the ground rules so that we may conduct ourselves in a civilised manner when posting comments, after all we’re not from Berwick are we (rhetorical).
RULES OF THE HOUSE:
•Hackney Carriage drivers of North Tyneside and Newcastle shall be referred to as the ‘Lords’.
•Private Hire drivers of North Tyneside and Newcastle shall be referred to as the ‘Commons’.
•Only one biscuit is to be permitted at forum meetings namely the McVities Taxi – Miles More Caramel.
•The use of foul language omitting the asterisk to display the whole word is now acceptable on this site providing you apply them to the appropriate parties.
•The following list will outline where such language should be actively encouraged:
a) When complaining about Berwick bandits.
b) When complaining about Derwentside dunces.
c) When complaining about greedy Operators.
d) When complaining about de-regulation.
e) When complaining about the lack of rank spaces.
f) When complaining about MOT increases.
g) When complaining about license fee increases.
h) When laughing at David Walls.
•If anyone should become aware of a licensing officer taking substantial bribes from an Operator his name and address details can now be posted.
•Anyone wishing to pass a motion should try and hold it until they catch a ‘flimper’ or alternatively pass it at a forum meeting where it will go unnoticed.
•Violence towards those stealing your livelihoods is now permitted since we have a greater problem with this than in Northumberland where they prefer to take the ‘soft’ option.
•The position of Speaker of the Commons is valid for one year and is subject to passing a locality test, an enhanced CRB check, an ability to speak English, attach a sat nav the right way up and have a valid subscription to a suitable license protection company.
These rules are subject to amendment at the discretion of the speaker and no further correspondence shall be entered into at this time.
Mr. Speaker
Thank you Mr Speaker for your very kind reference to me personaly, but as I am also a “Lord” and “Lords” tend to be silly old fools in the upper house, then I am bout to be ridiculed by the many, and that coupled together with my families ancestral roots being of Catholic Irish beginnings and having a military connection of ranking seniority it should be noted, and a current relative in the Irish Parliament, I feel I am bound to be the “Butt” of many jokes on this site, as so often the “Irish” find themselves to be, but we do take it in good spirits.
My family relative in the “Irish Parliament” however I do not intend to reveal, as that is for me to know any the “Commons” to continue to wonder.
Tongue and Cheek.
One bids ones subjects’ good day,
One has been trying to book a hackney carriage online and one feels that one has gotten lost in the process. One has found oneself on this rather confusing website and one is now at a loss to know what to do. One is careful in these matters and one wanted to know who was taking one home but was presented with a cabbie who didn’t speak one’s English.
This is not acceptable and one will direct one’s government to bring back the stocks. One was awfully confused and one didn’t think this cabbie chappy was from one’s Commonwealth. One now requires a properly licensed carriage with all the requisite trimmings including a footman, a butler and fit and proper chauffeur.
One has learned one’s lesson and one will never go downmarket again.
Your Queen
Elizabeth Regina.
