		<description>it might be worth the newcastle forum taking a copy of this story to licencing. 

as it stands some ph companies **cough** gateshead central, believe that they are ok to &#039;flimp&#039; by doing exactly this. one driver registration looks like &#039;pasty&#039; had the nerve to do this in front of at least 15 hack drivers, and as we took his number he sat in his car and showed us his phone to say look its a booking now! pratt, learn your job!

and abc, they do the same, flimp a job and radio through to the office and they hoy the job in the book, both driver and deskclerk should get done here, as both know it&#039;s not legal.

but can i just say that at the moment, there seems to be notibly less ph or out of towners parked up around the city, and if this is a result of active enforcement from newcastle then well done. but lets see who the &#039;flipmers&#039; are and who they work for in the chronicle please!

and i&#039;ll finsih on the ph are too busy to flimp brigarde. Once again, active enforcement equals NOTIBLY less out of towners and ph parked up in hotspots! and a couple of weeks ago on a friday night, i picked up a ph driver for a gateshead office, who said &#039;it&#039;s not worth working fridays as the office doesnt have the work for the drivers, and i cannot come to town anymore as enforcement are s**t hot!&#039;

GOOD!</description>
