The gubberment has no balls .........the road tax here is based on engine size ..now all the fat cats who drive 4 litre mercs are up in arms (there used to be a cap on road tax)...so the gubberment are going to do a u-turn ...... noooo:

No offence to BM but generally if you can afford to buy and run these cars the tax should not be a worry....

(If passed BM you will get a refund  Thumbs: )

So it's cos they've heard Arsenal have a winning team and they know it's a once in a lifetime chance to see it before things get back to normal?


I'm guessing the real reason is finding work.  True?
Well, whatever, nevermind

Not so much work ......people are finding things are changing and not for the better ,,in fairness 2 families went back due to health reasons (free NHS)....but most "younger" people it is the work situation ....
