And I do find it baffling that people queue for half an hour to get their car tax and then look suprised to be asked for their MOT and Insurance docs and start rummaging in their handbags...

I think the whole British public transport system and the way it is funded should go to Mordor.

I live in quite a green area with some parks and fields, literally acres, but you never see anyone use it! When me and my mates go for a "kick about" we're usually the only ones there. No wonder kids are getting obese if they never do any exercise. I think it is partly to do with the "nanny state"; parents not letting their kids out where they cant see them.
