General Discussion Area / Why so many Newbies

« on: 17 June 2008, 17:46:00 »

Been on the Forum now for a few months and I have noticed that we have about 3400 members.

But I don't see them. In the time I've been on I've probably only spotted a 100 or so different members.

So I've looked down the lists and can find pages and pages of Newbies dating back as far as 2006.

It seems a huge proportion never even make it to the dizzing heights of Junior member.

The Forum seems entertaining and informed. Any reasons why this would be so?

Geography may be a bit out if South Lincs is classed as "North" - depends on how you look at it...

Either way, we all know the north would whooop the south any day.  

I agree with Platty.

Anyway, saying all Northerners are ugly is a bit like saying all Southerners are bed wetters.

I would'nt say this but some people might

General Discussion Area / Giving Back to OOF

« on: 16 June 2008, 18:47:47 »

Having reaches the dizzy heights of Junior Member I feel I should give something back to the OOF, which has supplied me with friendly chat technical knowhow and last but not least humour.

So I propose this. OOF supplies me with a mint condition 3.2 Elite complete with petrol tax insurance and maintenance for 1 year, and I will drive it around complete with OOF insignia enblazoned on the car, completely free of charge, in order to promote the Forum.

This is a selfless act on my part, but I would be willing to do it.

If an Elite was unavailable I would be willing to do the same task in a mint condition Lotus Carlton.

Can't say fairer than that.

Yes and at the same time they are losing tax revenue on smoking, and drinking will suffer the same if sales fall.  

If that happens, where do the Government go to find more tax revenue to replace that lost?........FUEL!!!

Yes Lizzie you are right.

Just recently it came to light that the Macmillan Goverment of the 1950's kept quiet about smoking and the links to cancer, because they did'nt want to have falling sales, and less revenue.

General Discussion Area / Rising Fuel prices Overnight

« on: 14 June 2008, 21:00:50 »

Whats happening with petrol prices.

Yesterday my local BP on a main road was selling unleaded for 117.9 per litre.

Today its 123.9 6p extra. Has the oil price gone up enormously overnight, or is someone taking the piss, because of the tanker drivers strike?

No cars being served - not suprising

This petrol station was on a main road and there is usually a queue of cars to get petrol but not now, its like a ghost town.

General Discussion Area / Re: Very Interesting LPG Statistics

« on: 16 June 2008, 11:41:27 »

LPG is an excellent idea for thirsty cars. However the more popular it becomes the more expensive it will get. The government will make surei it is taxed more.
