Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).
Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.
cheers GF.

John McDonnell admits Labour is planning for a run on the pound if it wins power
He will sell his house to support the "£"
and if that not enough, he will ask Teresa May for her "heavy jewellery" to help
goodness gracious me

If the McDonnell prat had his way, he would have us all selling our houses and moving to communes. Foul mouthed loser. Even Red Ken had to fire him.
Ashamed to say that he was born a scouser, but in mitigation, he was transported to the South as a youngster where he picked up his bad habits.

At least you didn't say another scouse git. Another labourite that was actually quite talented but prone to disasters including having Cherie. He fell into a drum of paraffin when pissed out of his mind and was almost burnt to death. Finally nursed back to good health by no less than Elsie Tanner of Coronation Street fame aka Pat Phoenix. Looking back, I think he would say that he had an eventful life. If he could remember, that is, since he had been suffering with Alzheimers for more than 10 years. What is your excuse Stanley?

Dumbo,
You had better make sure you put on the right coloured shirt on and learn the correct mantra.
Try giving the correct salute as well.

Hils , after posting the tongue in cheek racist comment about the Severn Bridge it did get me thinking.
iIts definitely akin to putting a tariff on trade between say Wales and Bristol and Wales and the Midlands.
My daughter lives in Bristol and went to uni there , must have cost her/us at least 1.5k in toll fees compared to if she had gone to Cardiff uni and lived in Cardiff.

Unfortunately, Dil, I guess that's a downside of PFI for you.
In Switzerland, we need a vignette which sticks to the windscreen in order to use the motorways, but there are no tolls as such (except on a couple of tunnels). At the equivalent of around £30 a year it's excellent value for money imo. I guess that's a bit steep if you're only on vacation for a week, so the vignette effectively then becomes a tourist tax. However, you still have a choice, and if you don't use the motorways, you don't need a vignette.
In France, the autoroutes are very expensive imo, and you can easily spend in a day what it costs for a year in Switzerland. In my experience, the locals tend to avoid the autoroutes wherever possible, and we only use them ourselves if we're on a long journey. The autoroutes are also an effective way of taxing tourists. The Millau Viaduct toll actually increases by about 50% for the months of July and August when all the Brits, Dutch, Germans and Belgians are bombing down for their summer holiday.
That's what made me wonder whether people living locally to the Severn and Dartford crossings got any discount. I guess from your response that they don't?

Hils , many of the locals this side of the bridge are campaigning to keep the tolls as they fear house prices will rise due to the lower cost of commuting to Bristol.
