Asda Hulme, Manchester.

This is unbelievable. Rossendale Hackney Carriage sits on Asda Hulme, servicing the free phone as a PH car attached to Goodwins. Chorlton.

The vehicle is only licensed to carry 3 people. What happens if a couple book him and they have two kids with them ?? Hardly unlikely that a family shop together on a Saturday, is it ?

If he takes a call from a local Pub and its a quiz team going to another venue, do the quiz team start a man down, until he goes back for the other one and gets paid twice. ?

You cannot make stories like this up, but what is worse, I feel the Law Comm has something like this in store for all of us.

Rossendales vehicle register show the license was issued on the 4 Nov.

Plate 819 was issued on the 6 Sep. A quick check shows that in 9 five day weeks, 45 working days, Rossendale issued 142 new Hackney Licenses. They all appear to have descended on Manchester.

Stop the world, I want to get off.
