You *must* be thinking of the Labour government, who commissioned, approved and paid for this TV advert: <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXoUJN1O8i0&feature=PlayList&p=78B38739A9B28C64&playnext_from=PL&playnext=1&index=24> As you should be able to see and hear, the term "road tax" is used there - both orally and in writing. And this is in an offical government publication. That is because "road tax" is - quite simply - the everyday term used to describe the amount of money one has to pay to the government in respect of the use of a particular motor vehicle on the roads. The certificate displayed on the vehicle to show that the rules have been complied with is known, logically enough, as the road tax disc, or sometimes just "tax disc". You're the one who is in the wrong. That you and certain others don't want to admit that (for reasons of your own) is neither here nor there. "Road Tax" is a perfectly legitimate term in common use. Live with it. > But then there are some qualities inherent in being a handyman :-) If you mean not being blinded by adherence to some sort of class wardare, you might be right.

And "Hoover" is - quite simply - the everyday term used to describe a vacuum cleaner. Doesn't make it the correct term.

Doesn't make it the correct term. Did you have a point you were trying to make?
