Wasn't around when I was working for a living! Now a student life is so much better. Was advised that CCTV "might" be useful to prosecute but to deter them in th 1st place, lights were best option as open to world to see. Had 3 break ins in 4 months so ended up getting a security guard full time. Still kept lights on! Not worth worrying about a power bill when protecting £2m of office & factory with £250k stock!

the thing is though they say that they will be increasing the top VED band to £1800.
so a Mini Copper which is 2 bands below that currently costing £150 a year how much is a small Mini going to go up by £900 maybe
and those drivers will be going at least we ain't got a 4x4.
time to get this lot out. F&M

I hate to break this to you guys...... but Tim Yeo, the guy who is proposing the new measures is a Conservative....the Labour minister guy, Mr Landlady , is actually a supporter of 4x4's and has been 'politically' supporting us today 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

I'll do Transport.
First thing is to pass a bill to remove all tarmac from all roads, and banish ramblers to the small footpath round the duck pond in Wilmslow (which is too narrow for 4x4's anyway).
