    Now that would have been appropriate, proportional response.
    Sssh they may close down kebab houses!
    Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

      Why do that? The money is already in £ under british control and it will stop future flows.
      It is parked in UK/EU assets so not that easy to liquidate.

      The general population is priced out of many area and probably your local kebabshop is owned by one of those corporations but... for national security reasons and the select few, it is a good thing.

      At least you don't drive an '06 honda accord that will be valued at £200 shortly after the ULEZ zone is extended in October and it will cost me £15 per day if it goes on the street.(or £30 if driven across congestion charge zone) For your ML 63 AMG it takes £15 in fuel to get it out of your drive.

        I get around 17-18 mpg in town, around 30 on motorway.

          That British warship is a sitting duck in the black sea. The russians have hypersonic anti ship missiles, Mach 3+

          Many of us remember the Argentinians were able to take out UK warships using french exocets, those couldnt even reach Mach 1.

            how much is a set of tires for 22'' rims? do you do separate sets for winter and summer?
            annual oil change+ minor service is probably £500
            vehicle depreciation + insurance
            ---------
            I would presume total around £2500pcm

            No sir, definitely not, I don't think *placeholder for any indian consultancy* employees net that in the UK.

              I am about to find out current pricing…

              Don’t use winter tyres

                If you have significant wear on current ones don't get cheap now, change both on the axle. It will confuse the EPS and take longer to break or create destabilising momentums during emergency breaking.

                Especially if you use summer tyres during winter/ rainy season.

                    Or you can just chicken out of it and pretend it never happened - London House prices are safe now:
