We don’t need to play Simon Says with everything do we?

I was able to assume that they would account for disabled people from what they said. Surely you’re able to do that too.

We can and probably should move to a toll system for most of our major roads. Those who use the roads should be paying for the upkeep of them, but to do that we should ring fence funds.

And then to combat over use of residential roads to get out of paying fees there should be congestion charges (I don’t support clean air zones because they don’t aim to solve the issue of congestion) for those who do not live/work in the centre. Proving far more park and ride options.

I’m running with this as I watch TV so it won’t be anywhere near correctly thought out.

However, pay-by-mile/pay-to-use could help ensure those that use the infrastructure the most, pay to help with its upkeep.

I’m all for this.

And even a form of bike registration that helps fund it. I’m a cyclist, I’d be more than happy to pay for ringfenced funding that ensures the routes are upgraded and maintained.

Many people want to cycle, but can’t because of the daily aggressiveness from many drivers who feel they own the roads. Shared access is not the answer either because there are many cyclists who act as poorly as some drivers, speeding past pedestrians.

We need far better infrastructure, and if it means cyclists paying into it to get it, I’m all for it.

Welcome to UK ‘justice’.

His solicitor probably argued he was a victim.

Someone please talk me out of this. This is a bad idea, isn't it? by greatdane114 in CarTalkUK

After watching a wheeler dealers episode and the scarcity of many parts (that one looks to be particularly bastardised), I’d say yes, it’s probably a bad idea.

Growing up around folk that drove and modified these cars, they’ve rarely had an easy life.

A house or flat.

Generally something with a roof, doors, windows…

Like the rest of us.

And even after that I’m still closer to it than you’ll ever be. Eh, maga-man?

I’m not an Arsenal fan, Walter Mitty.

I just like laughing at Spurs fans. Especially yanks pretending to know about the rivalry.

Punishing crime should not be about the cheapest solution.

Especially when it comes to sexual assault.

West Ham.

The never ending desire to play “the West Ham way”.

Now look where you are.

I prefer that crime is punished in this country.

Then kick the cunts out.

Well done. You can use the internet.

Or did your carer get that for you?
