No seriously. it's bad here as well, I'm just wondering when the farmers, hauliers, taxi-drivers, and private hire drivers, realise that if they all contacted each other, and set up a national day of action, they might just get somewhere. after all those websites and e-mail addresses... it wouldn't take a lot.... :wink:

I spoke to a guy today that couldn't believe his 50K plate was worthless.

He'd bought in just before Christmas.

He told me that he just want the opportunity to pay it off.


I wished him good luck . . . . :roll:

I've got to agree, it's getting bad, with no end in sight.


As much as I want to feck certain people, things are getting out of hand . . . .

hand . . . .

Previous governments used to continuously through the news keep the nation informed as to how much in debt( through overseas borrowing) we were in ,you don't see that now, I personally think that they cannot possibly reduce the rate of tax on fuel for everyone... because I think this country will go bankrupt.

I think you are right.

Heads down boys . . . we're going in . . . .


I get the feeling for most it is already too late . . . . :shock:

You know it's bad when I'm heading for cover . . . . :wink:

Outside of the trade things are starting to look iffy, from my experience it hasn't got that bad within the trade.

But it wouldn't surprise me if that changed soon. :sad:

It has got to be back to the drawing board re taxation after this Gov goes, they have taxation income at record levels ( an additional 90+ taxes since they came to power ) and we are still getting the sharp end of the stick.
