No Road Pricing
By now you must have heard about the governments plans on 'road pricing'. They want to fit every car in Britain with a GPS tracking device, and charge us up to £1.34 per mile to drive at peak times (for comparison, petrol currently costs me £0.13/mile).
People do not sit in traffic jams for a laugh- if they are there they usually have to be. Also I believe that tracking everyone, everywhere, 24/7 is somewhat sinister. We pay through the nose for ALL forms of transport, remember that train and bus fares have been increasing well above the rate of inflation for years. How is anyone supposed to get to work or anywhere else?
What do you think about this?
If, like me, you strongly disagree with these plans there is an official, government-hosted petition against them here: http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/traveltax/ (now over 50,000 signatures!)
There's sod all here- still...

Driving hall of shame:
If you drive a green VW Golf, Registration L590 OMV, and you were driving south on the M1, near Luton, on sunday 17th July '05,
YOU'RE A WANKER!
Also, if you were driving a black(ish) Vauxhall MPV (Zafira?), registration WG03 KUF , on the M1 southbound, near Luton, on Sun 4th December '05, you are also a wanker, and on video here: Video (1.75MB)
Did you know?
(In the UK) Phone numbers starting '070..' are NOT mobile numbers. They are 'premium rate' and are charged at up to 50p/minute!
I got caught out by this, in my last job I had to call the boss on an '070' number. I assumed this was his mobile and would be covered by my inclusive minutes. I was wrong and it cost me a packet.
Be warned!
