  1. Road Haulage Assn are in the frame as the source of the scare story Ministers have pointed the finger specifically at Rod McKenzie, the managing director of policy at the RHA. The Mail on Sunday reported that McKenzie is accused of “selectively leaking remarks made by a BP executive at a private government meeting”.Ministers have pointed the finger specifically at Rod McKenzie, the managing director of policy at the RHA. The Mail on Sunday reported that McKenzie is accused of “selectively leaking remarks made by a BP executive at a private government meeting”. I would like to point out that Mr McKenzie is on record as being a staunch critic of Brexit which might explain his motivation
  2. This was a massive queue probably well over a hundred cars and completely snarled up the roundabout. That was at 7pm. It was still there when I came back about 9.30pm so I turned left at the roundabout instead of trying to cross the queue, . My take on that is people don't queue like that unless they are desperate. I did a 13 mile journey each way and no other petrol stations were open
  3. thats like saying fastest is always best. If that were the case we would all be driving to work in Ferraris Its only a fox, you want a down to earth working rifle not something more exotic that could well be hard to find ammo for and also extremely fussy about what it does and doesnt shoot well with
  4. I thought it was getting better but massive queues at Sterling Corner on the A1 last night
  5. all he has to do is make a will and he can leave it to who ever he likes. If he dies without a will it go to the government but I bet he has got relatives if they go back a couple of generations the will hunters will find second or third cousins he probably didn't even know he had, But anybody who dies without a will is crazy because they are leaving their money to the solicitors appointed to sort out the estate
  6. more hype from the news channels IMHO
  7. I grew up in a three bed semi in a North West London suburb. My Dad was a worker at a local factory a couple of miles away but he was able to buy that house and lived in it till he died. It cost him equiv to three times his annual wage at the time. But year on year they got pay rises and within a few years his repayments became very affordable. Today that same house would cost around £700,000 and the factory where he worked closed twenty years ago You would need to be earning in the region of £200,000 a year to get a mortgage to buy it today
  8. Benefits and a cash in hand job on the side looks even better
  9. Window cleaners £2o per average semi (in London its £35) takes about half an hour. Do the maths for yourself.
  10. On ammo availability alone, .223 every time Its going to be a while before you know your rifle / ammo / sights well enough to be able place a shot at 300 yds
  11. Ah but in their twisted world Jews represent capitalism
  12. No doubt there are people who are doing it
  13. Basically its pretty dangerous stuff to have around in quantity. Your house insurance would almost certainly not be impressed You can keep a can for the lawnmower or the strimmer
  14. This is not a situation where he is innocent until proven guilty. Its not like that in America. Its a claim for compensation.
  15. He's no loss to anybody. Another one who thought there was a magic money tree and all he had to do was shake it
  16. This whole story of cheap labour being used to destroy the value of a job to the point that ordinary people cant afford to do it is repeated in many other industries too. To me its one of the reasons I was so keen to get out of the EU Just a small example, round here the dustman were all Eastern Europeans these past ten years or so. At one time being a dustman was a good job in Council T & Cs and a pension at the end. Now its all agency staff that do it as casual labour. The thing is the employers have to realise the days of endless cheap labour has ended
  17. Yes but nobody is querying an extra penny or three on the pumps . At the moment its buy it at any price.
  18. Starmer has always appeared to me to be politically clumsy. Not a natural politician able to think on his feet or duck and dive like Boris.
  19. Yes but electric car owners have to spend their whole life panicing about finding somewhere to charge their cars
  20. No petrol problems round here. Everybody has a full tank Very full
  21. Filled up today in Forest Row East Sussex no problem at all. The garage was busy but not queues back up the road.
  22. Lorry driver was a prestige job at one time. A friend of ours Alan sadly died last year but he raised a family and lived in a lovely bungalow in Bournmouth. Retired on a comfortable pension. He delivered cars on a transporter from Southampton docks
  23. The supply of cannabis keeps a lot of antisocial little scumbags in a job that doesn't create any police involvement or crime figures so long as everybody turns a blind eye. Legalise it and all those little scumbags are out of business. What are they going to do instead? Break into cars? burglary? mug old ladies? Too much paper work Let them get on with it, the alternative is worse.
  24. Totally agree, whats an extra £100 a day for the driver in the grand scheme of things? small change?
