Re: Why do you want to leave the UK?
Heard the latest taxation.
Lorry drivers are to get a fine of £200 if they drive through London and there emmisions are to high on there lorry.
Later it will be used in other cities in and around the UK and be expanded to include Buses, Coaches, Taxis and Van drivers.
So ill scrap my van because it has to much emission only to be scrapped and melted down which would cause more emissions to be sold to the far east causing even more emisions getting there
Crazy British do gooders :curse:

Keep selling ridiculous cars like the Cadillac Escalade that do 6 miles to the Gallon, don't have any MOT tests that mean you can drive it untill the road salt completely corrodes the subframe and it almost splits in half

Am I alone here in thinking that an "englishintruder" sounds like some kind of sex toy?

According to the coachist on the BBC this morning it immediately applies to coaches. That's a problem to the operators as, in order to comply they have to have this year's model of coach which, for some reason, will not be usable after 2010. I suppose I should know what the 2010 issue is but I couldn't listen to more of the story for fear of dozing off at the wheel.

I suppose I'll have to find out what you're talking about. It's something to do tomorrow instead of insulting stoodents for a change.

Well , it didn't take that long.
What's the problem? Red Ken has turned out to be a world leader with his inner city toll thingy, and this one sounds like a bloody excellent next step to me.
Of course, what would I know?

If you want to know what a Low Emission Zone is, just do a google search for "LEZ". It's the first hit you want. Not the second. Oh no.

I wonder how many people will be using Google Image Search to find a map of this LEZ?
