"The amount of money I have spent on ringing BT recently (£100 one month on my mobile, because the landline was dead, therefore my broadband was dead so my VoIP line was dead, so my only option was to use the mobile)"

Dr Mouse - didnt it cross your mind at any point to use a payphone or a friends land line (at no cost to yourself or anyone else)!!

hmm - we already have this in sleepy dorset

Every day I go to work and home again, my reg number is logged by no less than 8 of these ANPR cameras in each direction.

Why you might ask!

Well apparently its part of a long running traffic survey to check vehicle movement ahead of the 2012 olympics (Weymouth & Portland are hosting the sailing events.)

What is interesting is that the cameras only face towards oncoming traffic being sited on traffic lights or custom poles.

When I use my moped (to avoid the gridlock when all the holiday makers are here) I can go as fast as i like (well up to 40mph)

Win 2k !

many of our customers (the small ones) are still using Win2k quite happily and see no reason to change. It costs then too much in outsourced IT to upgrade.

The big ones install from an image and are more than happy to continue with XP which is robust and has little or no compatibilty issues with legacy systems.

£205 or more for road tax.......... Hmm

Now if we really wanted to reduce costs and carbon emissions maybe we should all buy Mini Cooper diesels.

Quick, similar CO2 footprint as a prius (sp?) and less than the honda multifuel.

and £35 a year for tax.

BTW the volume calculation for the bus has not taken into account solid items within the space (seats, stairs, floors, engine etc etc.) ;-)
