I would like to point out that all my posts on this thread are tongue-in-cheek. It's a boring morning.

Apparently the government target for recycling is for collection, not for disposal and also apparently, 90% of the glass collected through recycling ends up in a landfill in China.
Of course, I have no link for this, it's just rumour and conjecture...

Should I get a road tax rebate then for minimal use?
Yes you should. It will help you pay your increased council tax if your property has scenic views from every window...

Originally posted by BagpussRoad charging should only be for new toll roads. You have a choice, you pay to avoid the jam or you don't.
It should not be brought in to charge people for necessary journeys. WHat is the option , not to go to work?
Oh yes, they want us to use public transport, the same public transport that we were being told, just a week or so ago, has to put up prices to reduce overcrowding. They need to price us off the trains!
and price us off the roads! LMFAO
You couldn't make it up.
Maybe we should all sign on the social

Anyway, they've got it all wrong. The charge should fall the further you travel - £5 a mile for journeys up to 5 miles down to 1p a mile for journeys over 150 miles. Gets all those ninnies on the school run out of the way while us long-distance captains of industry can continue uninterrupted
