I hope that when you attend the Roman Way Rest
Home to have your radio equipment checked or repaired, that you
notice the changes. We have tried to get the standard of
cleanliness higher than it has been; this includes the canteen,
toilets and service bays. Then whilst enjoying your free tea or coffee, you can read current taxi trade publications and keep yourself fully informed… or just amused at their fairy tales about our Society! There are some building changes being completed during July and August to hopefully improve conditions even further for staff and drivers, so please bear with us during this rebuilding and changes. Drivers who attend the depot are continually ignoring the signs not to enter unless given permission. This is very dangerous and against our Health and Safety regulations. This being the case, I will not tolerate our staff being put in danger by the possibility of getting struck by a taxi due to a few drivers who can’t be bothered to read signs. Some are also parking in the depot entrance, not only blocking it as an entrance, but also as our fire exit. So please do not commit this inconsiderate act. The staff working at Roman Way know their jobs well and are friendly until drivers upset them by trying to talk down to them. They will repair your equipment, but cannot complete miracles such as improving signals to the standard that drivers want. If you want better signals, don’t overload the system by non-essential data traffic. Drivers are using the reject and queue position button far too often during their course of work. The short space of time between the QP button being constantly pressed by some drivers, gives the impression they are possibly suffering with short term memory loss! New and second hand taxis Telephone bravery? |
TOM’S ROMAN WAY REST HOME!

 were the last ones that I had instigated as Complaints Officer to the point that they were ready for presenting to the committee by my successor. Due to the outcome of one of these complaints, I received vile messages on the answer phone at Roman Way by a very brave driver who would not identify himself. I thought that taxi drivers had a bit of courage, not like this coward who hid behind an answer phone in the middle of the night. I can also assure this coward that I am not a "ponce" and as far as "getting myself a decent job," this is the one the Chairman asked me to do. I suppose that as I am a licensed taxi driver, the same as him and the other 2000+ drivers on the circuit, by his first expletive he included all of our drivers and himself. I think the majority of our drivers are hard working and honourable people and far from being ponces. The matter is now in the hands of the BT abusive calls team and the police. If that brave caller thinks I’m joking, he should try calling again using his foul mouth. I would at this time also like to thank all the drivers who had spent time phoning up to thank me for my years spent as the Complaints Officer to the Society and hoping my good health continues. Passing the time! |
more drivers do you see on mobile phones
since they brought in the law banning you from using them whilst
driving - unless hands free? They have wasted money on Community
Officers who are about as much use as a chocolate fireguard. But
when they give you the figures for the number of Police
Officers, they count these make believe ones in as fully trained
officers. We now have a Secretary of State and Justice who wants criminals left out in the community and not put in prison. It is no wonder, as one of his family committed a criminal act over drugs and he let his official chauffeur drive well over the speed limit with no penalty. This is a great CV for the person in this job. If you do not know his name - it is Jack Straw. Where is your money going? Well some more of it goes to Mudassa Arani, a Muslim solicitor who made £1.6million from 2004 to 2007 defending Islamic extremists on legal aid. These are the people who leave bombs on buses and trains in London and give a bad name to all those peaceful Muslims who just want to live a normal and quiet life. This money could well be used to improve the state of our filthy hospitals or the condition of our roads. Or how about channelling the money up to Hull to assist our fellow countrymen who have been flooded out of their homes? If those floods had happened in Africa or the Far East, Gordon Brown would not be able to act quick enough to send food, tents and medical equipment paid for by the English tax payer. Why wasn’t money sent straight to Hull to assist these people in their plight and the local hospitals that we know must have money problems? But then press coverage would not be as much and the television coverage would be minimal. I remember seeing pictures of the Prince of Wales attending the flooded area, but did Brown or Cameron of our political parties go up there? Mind you, after you have the catastrophe of being flooded out of your home, would you want another catastrophe of both of these turning up for a photo shoot! Getting well… Tom Whitbread DaC Roman Way Manager |
