Direct Debits

We were having a bit of a discussion in the pub last night about utility companies and their BILLS. Here is a strange fact: If you are rich, have a bank account and pay by direct debit, you get the cheapest deals. If you cant afford to pay monthly, your bills are more expensive, and if you are poor and have to use a pre-pay meter, you pay the most of all. So much for a caring society! And why are our bills going up when the utility companies make huge profits? It's for the fat cat directors and the shareholders (the rich ones again) - sod the customers eh?

M25

Any minor accident on the M25, becomes a major incident, with hours of delays for us poor motorists. The authorities certainly take their time clearing up. A recent problem was 9 hours to recover a few scaffolding tubes on the Dartford bridge. Of course, if there is a serious accident when life is at risk, then everything should be done to help, but if no one is hurt, then get it clear so we can go home! With the bank holiday comming up, I predict total gridlock on Friday afternoon, watch this space!

Carry on Clamping

Anyone watch the program on ITV about clampers? This is just legalised organised crime. Clamps should be banned, there's no justification for them, it's just another way for companies to rip off the motorist!
