Re: We are being taken for mugs
If you go to war, you lose men and machines. You use munitions, you have transport costs, extra food, medicals and equipment.
How on earth is a war the same cost as not a war.

Re: We are being taken for mugs
Wars??

Re: We are being taken for mugs
I have no problem paying the higher rate of tax but would prefer for my taxes to be spent on schools, hospitals, roads, fire service, police etc. Not spending billions on wars and bailing out bankers

Re: We are being taken for mugs
I think it's daft that you should pay more tax the more you earn not smarter but they have just done well in life why should you be punished for doing well in life?

Re: Wet trackdays
I agree with your suggested use of the Supercorsa. Sunny day tyre which may be ok in the damp but wouldn't use in full rain without being very nervous especially at track pace.

... as a sunny weather tyre only really? OK on the road where you can baby it along if it rains but that isn't really an option on track. Or am I just being paranoid/misinformed?
