Still it's nice to see Mr Fararge, > every racist's friend, joining the anti-green > movement. I would like to hear what major cities in england are using ulez type restrictions other than London. I also dont recall reading on here that he is lining is own pockets it is funding his london transport. lots of us like myself own vehicles pay insurance taxes on petrol/diesel also road tax. Older vehicles are leaving gradually due to wear and tear. His not reaping enough so he is now spreading misery to the M25.

Not all vehicles are emptied, often they are topped up my friends had fridge vans they never emptied them totally, as they would have to fridge them indoors they just topped up and sold off in rotor, maybe he liked a warm cab to get into
  6. Why does it not run 24 hours a day then what happens at 6 pm when driver leaves work does it have to plug in somewhere? I know lots with freezer units, greengrocers they park up for 12 hours or so, turn off. only ones I know that run all the time are ice cream vans
  7. Wasley I dont have a go at cyclists I am on legs, ulez has put me on legs Cyclists have a go at me

  9. Why dont people just respect others and not damage their property Good luck to anyone who can afford a Rolls Royce or a SUV or any other big car they are paying more at the pumps and insurance etc paying into the economy and they probably worked hard to get it The better the car the more reliable
  10. with khan its all about the money if you can afford it you can pollute. since ulez has put me on foot, my husband had a car push him over. and I have had several near misses by push bikes with no lights whizzing in front and behind me
  11. would it be the battery, faulty or knackered have had the same problem, turning over not firing, started other day running etc. had to buy battery today, all running now
  12. Ah you poor Foxy lucky they never called fox project glad to hear you are getting there
  13. Sue you sound like me, A pensioner who cannot afford inflated prices on secondhand ulez compliant car. scared to get on the buses that ulez is now funding, because of corona virus as bus passengers do not wear masks. and dragging shopping on weary arms and legs, with asthma and arthritus, because as a pensioner without a private pension cannot afford ulez so am in a rut, and like all tithes and taxes I am sure the money will be wasted
  14. merry christmas and happy healthy new year to all
  15. Ayres used to make lovely cream cakes with blackcurrants strawberrys and lots of varietys, then it was either boring eclairs or cream doughnuts then they stopped, so dont go to Ayres

Thank you all
  20. In the last few days, whilst walking, have noticed everywhere plastic shaped like a back to front letter P with the the rounded back cut out diagonal with looks like a thin blade in it. I can only assume it is something like a paring blade. maybe something to do with drugs, as it is littering the street and not disposed of in a bin, Could anybody enlighten me please. thankyou
  21. If you are medically excempt from wearing a mask. You possibly for health reasons, need to wear it more than others, I have asthma and carry lots of medication, and find masks a pain. I cannot breathe, steam up, cant see etc. But rather struggle with a mask than covid. .
  22. I have only lived in small streets around here, But when I was a kid, if a neighbour died, someone would go round with a collection for a wreath from the street, have not seen this for years now, stopped around the 60s
  23. I thought they would become compulsery, but they waste so much water, there was a bad leak on eddystone rd, last week gushing water all week and one a month ago on Limesford rd, this one made a hole on the road and that was gushing for about 3 days still belting out today, monday, last friday 4 water vans 8 men all they have done blocked road, dug hole and put barricade up, and left it.
