I keep my insurance company busy, I phone up about once a month with some change. I'm going to run two cars for a while so I'm going to cut my milages to 5000 and go fully comp for a month as I could do with a new rear window.

Well if it is him.. What's a Mott box?

Is that where he sits or maybe it's the bit you tick on the form when you apply for that other mysterious motoring thingy.. Tax disc is the name I think?

Why would anyone want to pay £160 for a sticker for their windscreen?, beats me!

the tax disk..this is a status symbol and the colour depends on which tax band you pay income tax in....isnt it funny...the middle tax band payers always look up to pay the high rate, which they still call super tax, so they can show off to the poor mates but those who do pay in this area do they damndest to pay nothing...you see if you declare you earn £1 over the threshold all your entire rebates are calculated at 40p in the pound...so you get more back then you pay in if you know how to get the tax man to agree....this denotes the colour of you tax disk..i think....

i was thinking...i pay national insurance but what cover do i get for that? i never recived a schedule telling me? its all a con.

and who pays for all the road cameras? they are not cheap and if everyone drove at the speed limit for 2 or 3 years they would have to take them all up as it would cost them to maitain them! self policing that one.....then we would get the roads back and we could charge over them humps in the road as fast as we like.

Mobile speed cameras

Thought these were not police patrol vechiles and they had to remove their blue lights......so why are they always parked in police patrol bays ?

On A11 they are always in the bays near the bridges where u can not see them!!!
