It's a TAX, not a bill for services rendered. It all goes into a big pot that pays for everything from nuclear warheads to the toilet paper that wipes Cameron's fat arse in the Commons bogs.

It still has not sunk in after 76 years - you are trying to educate
pork as my old man used to say and you cannot educate pork.

That's right: road tax.

Very true - these vignettes for Austria and Switzerland that I will need
next month are a proper road tax in that the money goes to the road funds
for those countries.
I even had to pay for the whole year in Switzerland even though I am there
for only ONE day but I don't bleat about it like drivers in the UK seem to
do every day .

VED is just another tax like the tax on fags and booze - in fact a heavy
smoking non driver will pay far more into the pot than a small diesel car
owner will.

I hope that you are not trying to take the **** out of the Porker?


I realise that his education does leave a little to be desired.

QUOTE:
Police in Gloucestershire are warning that thieves may be targeting
high-end bikes after a Cheltenham family suffered a theft in which
mountain bikes worth a total of £20,000 were stolen from their garage.

The bikes taken included one worth £6,000 that 32-year-old Isabel
Booth had handbuilt herself as an engagement present to her fiancé
Rod, now her husband, and which he has never ridden due to injury.

Mrs Booth had worked on the bike, an Intense Tracer, at the workshop
in the Cheltenham branch of Leisure Lakes bikes, reports This Is
Gloucestershire.

"I spent months and months putting money aside to buy all the parts
one bit at a time and then I went into the shop to make it myself,"
revealed Mrs Booth, a mother of three.

"I learned how to do it all in the workshop and they helped me to
build it, so it was completely unique and can't be replaced."

The bike was one of six stolen on Saturday evening from the couple’s
garage at their home in Galileo Gardens, Hester's Way, Cheltenham. All
of the bikes were locked up.

Also stolen were three other bikes belonging to Mr Booth – a black
Yeti SB-66 valued at £5,500, a carbon Lapierre Zesty 914 costing
£5,250, and a red and black On-one 456 worth £2,250 – plus a red,
white and black Specialised SSR Myka belonging to Mrs Booth worth
£1,500, and her 12-year-old son Davey’s red Santa Cruz bike, worth
£2,500.

According to This Is Gloucestershire, the value of the bikes meant
that they could not be included on the couple’s household contents
insurance policy, and no separate cover had been taken out for them.

Mrs Booth was in bed at the time the burglary took place, while Mr
Booth was watching the Champions League Final. It is believed that the
thieves forced the garage door open with a crowbar.

"I heard a bang at about 10.30pm, but it sounded like it was coming
from the garden and I thought it was the dog running around,"
explained Mr Booth, who has twice before been the victim of bike theft
in recent years.

"Back in 2009 I had bikes locked to a vehicle and went inside for a
matter of minutes and when I came back they were gone," he explained.

"Then last Christmas Eve, a bike we bought Davey for his present was
stolen, so we had to rush out to get another to replace it."

Scott Jones, worshop manager at Leisure Lakes Bikes Scott Jones, told
This Is Gloucestershi "For Isabel to build the bike was a really
nice gesture. It was a pretty rare frame and nobody else would have
had a bike like that. It's horrible to hear about this sort of thing."

Sergeant Tony Wallace of Gloucestershire Police commented: "The
officers in Hester's Way [a suburb on the western edge of Cheltenham]
have reported an increase in high-value bike thefts."

Anyone with information regarding the crime is asked to contact
Gloucestershire Police on 101, quoting 114 of May 20.

This is not necessarily true. As the Internet becomes entwined with our
personal and professional lives, stalkers can take advantage of the ease
of communications as well as increased access to personal information.
