    They had the same complaint from a lot of women.

    So they put the sign in a fake show shop frontage.

        Yes, and lovely and that's one of the reasons depositors took a haircut in their banks...

          Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

          No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.

              Useless sign. What is this Dart Charge? Never heard of it. Am I supposed to automatically work out that Dart Charge is the brand name of "Dartford Crossing Toll". "Find us online" What is wrong with a url? Or some text that spells out that the crossing is a toll crossing and while there are no toll booths, you're still expected to pay.

              This is what you have in Ireland. Even SimonMac would understand this one.



              See. URL, phone number and it's utterly obvious that there's a toll to pay.
              Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

                You can try claiming to be a “fiduciary of God” and a “foreign diplomat” who are not obliged to pay taxes.

                  Fiduciary of God, tax dodger AND a diplomat, easy to pull off.
