Yeah right. > Covers to where the cars are... > http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/6295/020j.jpg Yet it obviously has covered it going on what the pavement is like. That looks like Hull. Go out 20 miles to Driffield where we've got snow a foot deep. Oh, and you're obviously blissfully unaware that grit doesn't work below -6C and it was below that last night. -- Conor www.notebooks-r-us.co.uk I'm not prejudiced. I hate everybody equally.

If Adrian only eats 2000 calories a day and cycles 4 miles then Adrian is in trouble because a grown man needs 2500 calories a day just to maintain minimum requirements. -- Conor www.notebooks-r-us.co.uk I'm not prejudiced.

Anyone who claims to work for BP and still lives in Hull obviously hasn't the intelligence to work it out. Then again, you could just be the security bod and going by the areas you've photographed, thats likely the case. -- Conor www.notebooks-r-us.co.uk I'm not prejudiced. I hate everybody equally.

It's as "biased" as Transport 2000, obviously, or whatever mocking term you have invented for it in an attempt to make fun of its findings that the cost to society caused by motorists including NHS costs, pollution, congestion, costs of emergency services, noise pollution, reduction of quality of life, reduction in house prices, damage to the environment etc etc aren't even met by half of what they pay in tax. The Daily Express of course only cites sources that look at the money put into road building and simply subtracts that from the tax take. The last ruse was trying to prove a link between oil tankers in the Channel "waiting for oil prices to rise" and the price that Colonel Blimp pays at the pump. Cue outraged letters to the rag. I'm surprised you get taken in by it all. -- Simon Mason |
