If I had come up the river last night in a banana box my feet would be wet. They are not.
So I won’t be taken in by eco-tosh and bull spouted by quango members fresh from an agreeable long lunch.
Motorists, according to the Commission for Integrated Transport, must accept that unless fuel prices go up constantly the world will end two weeks on Saturday. Oh, and stick to the 70mph limit on the motorway to reduce greenhouses or something.
I would love to do a steady 70mph on the M6 but some goat breath in Whitehall has it dug up half the time causing polluting traffic jams.
Learners should also be taught ‘eco-driving.’ Sorry? You mean driving along after the style of a tree?
I’ve said it before, if you want to reduce carbon burning turn down the heating in offices and suggest staff invest in a sensible pullover and reduce the volcanic average temperature in shops.
Better still ban shopping.

Steve,
I have recently done two things.
Watched a footy hooligan film, "The Football Factory" and gone on holiday to America.
In the film, lots of professional cockneys shout, "Are you mugging me off?" with reference to being taken advantage of in some way or other.
In America I filled up the fuel tank of a large 7 seater people carrier for around $50. Given the advantageous £-$ rate this works out to an incredible £25!
It would cost 3 times as much to perform the same task in the UK.
It appears that someone at government level is "mugging us off" over the cost of fuel in this country.
And another thing, a 7 seater SUV with leather trim etc, etc, worked out around £17K!
Again, someone is "avin' our keks off!" over car prices.
We should arrange a straightener with their "firm" after the next match!
Come on! Lets 'ave it!!
What do other readers think?
