    I heard a rumour on this very subject on Monday, so went looking on
    the DVLA site: fruitlessly. However, the link is given in the above
    article, which is here:
    http://www.dvla.gov.uk/public/consult/driver_fee/df_summary.htm

    Bear in mind that this is only a proposal atm, and the intention to
    levy a charge on SORNed vehicles only appears in Options 3 and 4 at £3
    and £4.50 respectively. It does seem a bit thin-end-of-the-wedgelike
    to me, however. Bastards.

    Pip emerged from their own little world to say
    Options 1 to 3 include a £7.50 "change of ownership fee" to be paid by the
    seller. Yet another revenue earner principally collected by retailers.

  5. FFS. "To pay for photo card driving licences"

    It's them that wanted to do it so they should bloody well pay for it.

    Bastards.

    I think that the reality is that personal motorised transport is going to
    get a lot more expensive over time, and there's very little we'll be able to
    do about it.

    This is only one of many iceberg tips...

    Brilliant. Somebody is doing something about global warming.

    Do you have a surplus of icebergs, since you need to tip us about them?
    There is that.

  13. What, by forcing everyone onto public transport.

    Don't make me laugh, in London at least, most of the fucking congestion
    and air pollution is *caused* by fucking public transport. Take the
    busses and taxis off the road and the place will be a much better place.

    Next time your ever in Oxford St for instance, have a look how many
    people are on the busses and in taxis. At least 90% of the traffic down
    there is busses and taxis, they shite up the place in good fashion and
    there's only ever two fucking people on them.

    Take all the cars off the road, and more people will use the buses.

  15. Clean up the buses and more people will use push bikes.

    Bio-diesel.

  17. Well ok then. Scrap the buses that belch black smoke and can't be easily
    fixed, fit bio-diesel lumps into the ones that can and if nothing else
    buy spangly new ones.

    Oh, and I don't want to pay for it.

    Get rid of the buses, cars, push bikes and taxis, then mount a
    trebuchet on every street corner & a selection of inflatable sumo
    costumes.

    You don't have to scrap them. They form the ideal playhouse for some cheeky
    kids and Melvyn Hayes.

    porl vaguely muttered something like ...
    Isn't he dead ?

    And if he isn't why doesn't someone shoot him anyway ?
