National speed limit of 55mph
« on: 10 February 2010, 23:10:05 »
No, that's not me proposing it, but some MPs (mostly Labour) proposed it a couple of months ago.  >:( >:(

Is your MP on the list?

As it says, remember them when it comes to the election.

Added: Mine is

Dismore, Andrew  (Labour Party)

Dismal Dismore. Should be gone by May.  :y

Just noticed this in the EDM:

"...at least two hours of prime time television per week should be used to explain the gravity of the crisis to the public"

What f**king crisis? The man's an idjut.  >:(

What have they been smoking? ;D

They'll be in opposition / retirement by the time it gets shredded, or we're in deep sh!t anyway.

That was the point... :y
During the fuel blockades in 2001 or thereabouts, I drove my 2.0L manual Mig at 50mph max on my commute and got the mileage up to high 30's in my Citroen I can get at least an extra 10mpg and I do not drive it enthusiastically anyway, according to Kwickfit, re a rear tyre change.... ::) ::) ::)
