I'm sick of trying to find doors, I'd be spending around £300 on a set of thin internal doors, that I'd still need to give a good paint and cutting down to fit, so; Designed as quickest and cheapest way to make, so its all studding timber screwed together via frame on the back, It's a...

It's certainly still going, just a very slow and drawn out process. Installments to follow now:

Urine. They'd not do it twice.

Progress has been non-existent, weather has been crap and I needed to figure out how to get more light in, until I knew how I was going to insert a window I couldn't make the side walls. Well, I finally figured it out and built the first side wall: Window plan is glass blocks! Thick...

That must mean the rest of Germany didn't smoke or drink then, or the Italians, Japanese, etc etc Rations were in place too, but the war was won, so that must means rations are brilliant, bring back rations. What's the war got to do with anything anyway?

No because pedestrians receive indirect benefits of the road system, i.e. It is there and it works in their favour. That's why it's a part of general taxation, not consumer taxation. Anyway, I've eaten curry and consumed much beer, i'll argue tomorrow.

Glad to hear it :D

Most people? Completely unquantified. Free loaders? Pay money into the pot first? They already do, roads are funded by general taxation. Should non-motorists that also don't cycle receive a tax rebate for the roads they don't use? No. Can you reference anything regarding this protest...

Your a very angry individual, why not try to.relax? You may live longer? Also I've editted my previous post to tag some more to the end regarding my position on vehicle taxation, it's relevant.

So you acknowledge you were likely wrong on the proportion of cycle type. Good. I hope you also acknowledge that these vehicles are perfectly capable of travelling on routes that are not roads and that many many miles are travelled on paths. Failing to acknowledge these salient points is...

I agree that motorists are taxed in an incorrect fashion, I don't necessarily agree with you.

So JBR, You are actually aggreived because you believe as a motorist you are being taxed unfairly? I agree, but why pick on cyclists because they are treated less unfairly? Is it just because they are an easier target than the offending tax institution? Let's take a quick wander down...

Didn't realise the opposition were tee-total non-smokers :p

VED hasn't been directly linked to roads spending since 1937. 'Road tax' pays into directly to the exchequer. Central government and local authorities then pay out for roads at a proportion depending on the type of road. Road spending is determined by strategy set out on need and growth...

Yes I agree, pedestrians would still get around without roads, so would cyclists, because they also don't need roads. That was my point, thankyou for assisting it... Mountain bikes are in the minority? What do you base this wild assumption on? I'd say the opposite, mountain bikes are in the...

Your thread title is deliberately false and misleading, of course they don't and it is idiotic to suggest so. (they get no tax revenue from counterfeits and have to spend money counteracting it!) What may be closer to reality is "government is willing to take improperly considered risk on...

Of course I realise bicycles are wheeled vehicles, although I don't agree that they by definition need roads to function comfortably. I more commonly ride off roads, paths, fields, muddy rocky gullies etc. A bicycle is a highly adaptable multi-terrain vehicle. So you are pretty much completely...

Small claims court is indeed an excellent place to gain recompense for damage caused, I almost brought it up myself. However; you are presenting a biased likelihood based on your opinion with no statistical backup. Therefore all groups could be treated on potential, which is extreme if taken...

And what about everyone else I mentioned? You cannot justifiably single out cyclists, because exactly the same 'problems' are manifest elsewhere. Therefore your stipulations arn't arrived at by logic, as I've just mapped out the lateral extension of such logic, instead the sole motivation...

Anyone? Of course it's utterly insane, but it's only very subtly different to what's been suggested. I almost forget insurance, We're all capable of causing damage to 3rd parties even when we're naked, therefore everyone should be made to pay public liability insurance, just incase, oh...
