RoadUse

Driven to distraction?!? Drivers, Road Use, Driving... and other methods of getting from A to B... a general discussion on where the presumptions of so-called 'experts' are muddle-headed and just plain wrong!

The Changing Face of Britain

Since my last post, way back in October, you would have thought that things would have improved at least in one way... NO WAY.

Politicians are still totally out of touch with the rest of the population, and with REALITY!

As for the roads - I just wouldn't know where to begin! Repairs are done to bits which don't really need it, and bits in dire need are ignored! No-one listens to the residents concerns. Traffic 'calming' methods are designed - on purpose? - to create the exact opposite effect.

Thirty mph zones are regularly driven at 60 and above... no one ever checks on this... the traffic calming methods are supposed to sort it out!

Where DO we go from here?

Road use costs!

Even though petrol and diesel prices have gone down a little from their high point it still costs far too much to get from A to B by car!

That is government policy for you!

And they want us to use trains as they are more environmentally friendly, so the obvious thing is to allow ticket prices to escalate [and become amazingly complicated] so that in some cases they are far more than twice the price of an internal flight!

That's life!

Maybe you might be interested in looking at the following offer - it is free - to see if you can make any cash from it... check it out here... http://www.dollarmonitor.com/affsites/afx/115726.html

Interested? Then NOW is the time to find out more!

Discover How You Can Have Your Own Successful Business
Online In 30 Days ... Or LESS!

Every once in a while, something comes along that changes
the way that people do business online. Sometimes it's a
new software product, sometimes it's a traffic generator.

Right now, online marketer Richard Legg is putting the
finishing touches to his new online marketing course
titled:

"Succeed In 30 Days - How anyone can have an online
business in a month or less"

I've had a sneak preview of the course and I can tell
you it is absolutely amazing. If you are a newbie, or
if you've tried every program under the sun... and failed, this WILL help you finally succeed online. As part of the
course you'll discover:


> How to have your own "Online Empire" even if you have
absolutely no experience.

> How to generate a list of Hungry buyers for ANY site.

> How to advertise to millions of people legitimately.

> How to get the most essential tool, that every marketer
needs. Without it, you could lose 90% of sales.
(You'll be shown how to get it at No-Cost!)

> Plus: Instant Access to a resource that can make you
$50 or more within one hour of joining.

Plus much, much more...


As you can guess, a package like this could easily sell
for hundreds *BUT* act now and you can get instant access
at no cost to you whatsoever!

Not many people know this, but in order to tweak and
perfect the course, Richard is GIVING away a limited number
of V.I.P memberships to the first few people to visit the
site and join up. This way he can get feedback and improve it.
Once he's confident, he's going to start charging up to
$197 - $297 for the course.

I have been given access to a special V.I.P link to share
with a few people. Visit the site now, and you can join
for absolutely nothing. You can save hundreds!

Succeed in 30 Days

Like I said, there are only a limited number of V.I.P
memberships and many are gone already. If you want to
grab a copy, you must visit now and secure it before
someone else does..

Succeed in 30 Days

Governed by????

Our government or the EU, which is most responsible?

All these new green taxes are coming on top of the financial crisis and rising food prices - when will they learn? Depressingly I know the answer! NEVER.

They say that there are fewer cars on the roads and that they are driving more slowly... obviously THEY never travel by road!

Youngsters still fly up and down a 30 mph speed limit zone at night at 60 or above still run into the chicanes, uproot the bollards and the street lights... and have cheap road tax because they have small cars... but boy can they fly!

Just one question for the 'experts' how did we manage to burn fossil fuels and cause global warming so many million years ago?

Save money!

Does anyone out there know about Qassia?

You could find a very thought provoking post [admittedly based on American prices, etcetera] by Charlie Pugliese entitled "Save money" and posted on Aug 15, 2008 09:27

His qassia name is 'wordfull' - so if you type ... users wordfull ... into the search box on their home page, then click on 'wordfull' you should come up with the post!

I tried it with my qassia name as follows... users shimmy ... and then clicked on shimmy and eventually came up with my list of qassia posts.

Enjoy your travels. RSPB membership.

Enjoy your travels, with or without a pet... and if you do have a dog with you PLEASE don't leave it in your car to die a horrifying death. Either telephone your proposed destination to enquire if they do accept dogs... or go elsewhere if your pet is not accepted on site when you arrive.

I have heard plenty of complaints about the RSPB not allowing dogs on its reserves... but, I must admit though I do find it annoying myself, I can appreciate their stance when some people just won't keep their dogs on leads when specifically requested to do so, and some just won't clean up after their pets. This attitude makes it extremely difficult for responsible owners, and is so anti-social!

That said, I have found plenty of RSPB reserves which do allow dogs on leads to visit and have enjoyed visits to Dinas in Wales, which is not to be missed; and to various sites in Scotland with our dogs.

Have you enjoyed the Springwatch series on BBC TV these last four weeks? It is now, sadly, coming to an end with the last special scheduled for tonight I believe.

The RSPB states that it has had a good increase in memberships following the programme. You have an option to option to choose Bill Oddie's "How to Watch Wildlife" book as a free joining gift until the end of June. [If you already have a copy of it, why not put it aside as a gift for someone special.]
