Secret green tax blitz planned for cars, air travel and consumer goods

Interesting the Jocks are exempt. It wouldn't surprise me one bit to find the chancellor was Scottish.

Well I never, you could knock me down with a feather!

reminds me of an old question i was asked when younger:


What is lighter? A ton of Steel or a ton of Feathers??

I await all replys with trepidation

Only those from the Highlands and Islands though Mordy. And to be fair, that is largely because when a plane lands up there the locals gather round to throw bread to it!!
Anyway, have the Arse managed to actually win a game at the Haemerrhoids Stadium yet?

I stand corrected!

Not really. You were mostly right. 80-90% of what is a added on by the airline as taxes, is as you described.

Only the fiver that is APD is a tax.

Personally, I think that APD should got up. It's a p1ss easy way for the Government to collect some dosh from something which is basically an optional form of travel.

Driving is taxed to the hilt and is a far more necessary form of travel than flying is. It's only fair (Ooops).

Yes, Shaun, we ruthlessly cast aside those newly promoted giants (Watford & Sheff Utd) and have also beaten a couple of European teams, including some Portuguese outfit you struggled against a couple of years back iirc.
You probably wouldn't like our new stadium anyway, they don't serve Tennants Super in the bars...
