    Well it became apparent that the "Monster Raving Loony Party" were the sanest lot out there, this gave them nomenclature issues. I mean you can't really be the "Monster Raving Loony but Saner than the any of the others" can you it's a bit of a mouthful.

          On the way back from the DIY store, this morning, I passed a mobility scooter with 4 pieces of timber (9 ft x 40mm x 40mm) stuck up in the air behind the "driver".

              Thatcher wouldn't have lasted as long as she did if it was a genda thing, she was there a long time and people get fed up with more the same. The so called poll tax riots that were obviously stirred up by her opponents were her downfall IMO.
              Then we ended up with the grey muppet.:biggrin:

              As for an 18 yr old having to pay it, well back then 18yr olds were working, unlike now, none seem to be even looking for a job until they are around 22, there was a 26 year old graduate spoken about on TV that still can't find a job, really????

              I do wonder if the poll tax was just set too high, but I definitely believe in the principle that everyone who uses the services should contribute.
