Jack your job in and go on the doll. </p>

It is obscene

butunfortuantlyif they bunched all the tv/radio masts together, then only a small area of the country would get tv/phone receptionand maybe channel five. </p>

I'm self employed so maybe like ES saysperhaps it would be tax reclaimable.:-| </p>

 

RE: I agree

Fck them. Local Councils rip up the green belt for business parks, the government actively encourage the expansion of air travel, and yet we have to feel guilty for using our cars and not putting the right thing in the recycling bin. I am the anti-swampy.

 

RE: I cover around 1000 miles a week

Well, given that everyone will be subject to the same tax its likely that you will either have to work more locally or be given special dispensation if your work is deemed essential.

Its not just going to be a case of finding an alternative method of doing the trip of 1000 miles, it will mean a whole change in the way we run our lives and work.

 

Get wagons off the road etc.

Stuff transported from Scotland to Devon to be packed, then sent to Newcastle for labelling. Then there's shipping. Goods for Europe being made in Asia, transported 1000s of miles. Air Travel: get back to the 1960s prices. An economy ticket to the good old US of A would cost £4,000 in today's money. That increase would keep the tattoo, body pierced, drunkards at Blackpool, rather than littering the costas and the Greek Islands with their foul language and cretinous behaviour.

 

RE: I agree

Unfortunately we can't go telling China what to do until our own house is in order. We can then go and tell the US to sort itself out, the lazy fat arrogant gas guzzling insular stupid Barstewards.

 

RE: I agree

Everyone's always got an excuse over why they use their car. 90% of it boils down to laziness. Takes me 1 hour 45 to Frickley from hudders on two trains or 45 minutes on the m62. I take car vast majority of times even though it costs twice as much, aimply coz I can't be arsed wasting time fannying around. Until the trains run more often and it becomes stupidly expensive to drive then I wpn't change sadly.

 

I agree

but that would free up the roads, so then people would buy more cars clogging the roads back up then we are back at the beginning.

 

RE: I agree

That's it - even with my impending move South, a bus ride to work will still be three times as long as the drive, if the bus turns up. Still, cutting my annual mileage by 75% so adopting a rather smug look at the mo.

 

RE: I agree

Should just encase China and the USA in a big plastic bubble, let them carry on.

 

How though

I would love to be posted at Emily moortransmitter all year , but it doesn't work like that, there are only a relatively small number of workers in this field and thousands of towers and masts in the uk.</p>

Some of the places I work are far too remote for public transport, plus it would proberbly make my working day about 20hours long if I used it.</p>

btw, I have been installing this tracker technology recently, although they say its to track and catch crims,I have my doubts. </p>

 

RE: I agree

Walk 5 minutes to work.

trump that eco-boy

 

RE: I agree

Yes, get goods transport onto the railways.

Would it really mean that people buy more cars? Not sure what I'd do with 2, I can only drive 1 at once!

 

Signatures: 745,547 now nt

 

RE: I agree

I meant people will start getting a car each instead of maybe sharing one.

I've always said Monorail is the future.

RE: I agree

Obviously I plant a tree every day to remove my carbon footprint - Bonsai naturally.</p>

 

Monorail

The nickname we've given to Kyel Reid!

 

Gott be a load of ballox surely

Even this goverment can't decide public policy on how many (rigged?) votes are registered on a website?

Tony : "750k against then, oh alright then, forget it, can't be arsed to do it if it's unpopular with a load of computer nerds"

Granted, she's very beautiful. But hardly a convenient alternative to the car. </p>
