Here we go again. Can't attack the argument, so attack the man. What exactly has what I do for a living relevant to the argument? So far we've had your bum chums Mileburner (snigger) accusing me of a crimnal offence, Simple Simon slagging off the entire south of England and now you attempting to slag me off. Why can't you just admit that you are a bunch of sponging freeloaders who can't stand the thought of proper regulation - and are too tight to pay your share? -- Dave - The Tax Paying Motorist

Reality check. They will never be "regulated", as you call it, because they rarely cause harm to anyone, quite the opposite. Get over it for your own health's sake, you are wasting your time ranting on here. Or at least lobby your MP where you at least stand a *small chance* of getting your wish. -- Simon Mason

Try selling your house when someone has built a big new by-pass next to it, then come back and say that. Quiet secluded locations always attract a premium.

Why didn't you say? It all makes sense now, that's why you talk utter tripe all the time. Just to provoke a reaction. Still you gave me a laugh for a few weeks. Take Care and goodbye! |
