What comes first. The Chicken or the Egg.

Two days ago Addisson Lee invite bids for the Company of around £800 million pounds.

That is a 160% profit on the £300 mill they paid for it.

Today internet chatter is that the European ruling on the Bus Lanes is due out Today., the question, wether Hackney Carriages are recieving a benefit, equal to state aid, in being allowed in Bus Lanes whilst our competitors are not.

Is it all a coincidenvce, or, is there a 'Machevalian' hand behind this. ?
