Chorley is dry

Hay just thought Dom this could be an easy way to a decent promotion, just think all the fat managers at work can't get their arse into work get sacked and the only people left are the non car owners and as there are not may of them securing that next job should be a peice of cake! Roll on! :)

As for productive part, I'm not worried, since global starvation will off us all within the next 20 years anyway.

And yeah, as with Lee, long live the bike - I won't have to dodge this cretins in ponce-mobils dropping off their cannon-ball kids at school - maybe making the fat gits walk would do everyone some good eh?

That sounds far to sensible Dom, what Parrants actually walking thier bratts to school, unheard of. OH no we're too much of a fat, lazy, US lead Nation, that'll never work.

How long before we see horses and carts back on the road :) Hay don't need a licence for them, cool, don't have a big enough garden to keep one though, d'oh.

So if the taxes on fuel were set so we paid the same as the US, how much fuel do you think worldwide reserves'd have now? Fuel WILL RUN OUT ONE DAY SOON.

Sorry to burst everyone's bubble, but it WILL happen.

People have been far too dependent on private transport for too long. Trying to claim you can't get to work without a car is in the most part a wimp out clause; if you live in the sticks and can't get to work without a car, move; if you live in a city centre, you have no excuse.

Sorry, but I ran out of sympathy years ago. This time in 2000 I was laughing my arse off at drivers. This year it'll be all I can do to stop my head rolling off from the cackling.

Of course, if you're driving to work with a full pay load of passengers in a 1.4 litre car, you get my respect. Anyone driving their kids to school in a 4x4 or using a top-flight gas guzzling "executive car" to drive 3 miles in inner-London as a lone occupant isn't even worth my contempt I'm afraid.

you are dead right my friend they should ----ing ban 4by 4's NOW so fuel can last us a few more decades untill we find an alternative.
by the way sweden is one of the greenest countries on earth and we are NOT a car dependend society here(very few 4 by 4's aswell) as we have a fantastic public transport system, and it less than half the price of england, my wife pays £60 for a months travel. and her journey to work is 1 hour.
and by 2011 the swedish government want ALL cars runnig on ethanol.
and by the way most of the buses run on vegatable oil, and the air is so clean here aswell

You've been reading too many of our threads! :) Too dam right this place is over crowded, but that's another story. So no lefty liberals in Sweden, or do you have more realistic politicians over there?
Surely can't be all sweetness and light as you make out???? (sounds too good to be true!).

It's Madness (& a good example of how the media can completely screw up the country in no time at all)! There's no short, medium or long term petrol shortage in the UK. In the Very LONG term of course, there will be, but that is decades away. In the VERY short term, there will be, 'cos everyone's seeing/reading the news & rushing off to filll up... in a few days everyone will be wondering what it was all about (unless the supposed distribution network 'blockades' get serious...). Like any industry, if demand suddenly doubles overnight, the supply can't keep up (short term). Short term price increases are just a reflection of that.

What would happen if tomorrow the Sun announced that there would be a bread shortage next week...the shelves of every supermarket in the country would be empty in hours......actual bread consumption (i.e how much gets eaten) probably wouldn't change though....

Yes you are right here, just because the news has been reporting a fuel shortage this has started a mass panic, I think there needs to more control over the media in how they conduct themselves, forcing a near riot like this is really bad behavour and they should be brought to book on this.

As for bread shortage, hey this could happen, we are selling off all our farm land and building on it, so we are getting more and more dependant on imports, what if the imports stopped for some reason, we'd be screwed.

Which immigrants would those be then? Just the non-white ones perhaps? :inferno: The vast majority of blacks and asians in the UK were either born here and/or have a British passport which makes the UK their home.

Are you aware of the irony of your ridiculous claim, you yourself being an immigrant in the country you live in? Perhaps Sweden should "send you home" - how would you like that?

Michael.
 
no my friend the illegal ones, they are taking money from you tax payers and working cash in hand. it's criminal, and no i'm not an immigrant here i have contributed to the swedish economy and brought 180k to the economy, and i am running my own buisness and my wife and son are swedish ok
 
and immigrants are ok in small amounts, but it's a ----ing epidemic in the uk. go on any building site now and you will find mostly bosnians and poles.
you are a small island and the country and economy can't take whats happening there
