Two people from work had their cars syphoned last week, in fact Stuart had filled up the night previously.

Both had locking flaps, but only one had locking cap, so better watch your vehicles & petrol tank

Why do the Gov't take so much on fuel? Because they can.
It's one of their biggest earners, it's easy to justify with the green excuse, we can't vote against it because there's no alternative- all of the political parties have the same short-sighted view that this is a good earner. They don't seem to get how damaging it is to the economy and to the social and work structure of the country.
No-one will believe you...

The LOTTO here is the Same,its the most profitable in the world.

The ratio of payout,compared to what is paid in is the smallest in the world,and you can guess where the cash goes the Government,they hit the Jackpot everyweek!!!!

Lets be honest you are not going to win the Lotto,its a false dream,no wonder its ramed down your throut on the BBC and in the Media,they want you to belive you can win its a good earner for them.Save you self whatever you pay out each week and treat yourself to a pint or treat the family, and let them find anotherway to fund the Olympics/London and the British film Industry.

You are bang on DB the partys are all as bad as each other.

They want you to beleve you can win the Lotto,they want you to be in at night watching Eastenders or Corrie,they want you to smoke and drink yourself to an early grave!

While you are pre occupied with all that crap it stops you been a possible threat to them and the way things are.

Not in a good mood this week :D

I did once get 5 numbers up Tony and must admit, was a bit peeved as it could have been my only chance of getting the big one.
It did however give me the oppotunity to buy another 1200 tickets :lol:
