What really pisses me off is that the tolls double during Easter and the summer holidays. Unless you have a VIA-T Toll bleeper, which can only be issued to a resident by a Spanish bank.
We ******* paid for it!!!Comment

We cannot vote NO. We cannot vote YES.
It's not a YES/NO question:

Eastern European nations are creating their own voting blocs within the Union that gives them influence they would not otherwise have. This has led to Poland having an astronomical amount of EU funding to build roads, rail networks and infrastructure that puts our Victorian rubble to shame (one guess who pays for it).Comment

I think the rest of the EU should be allowed to have a vote on the UK.
They'd kick them out."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment
