Goverment Car Tracking / Taxing Petition!!!!

Many thanks to Crash n Donna for spotting this. The BBC has a lot to say about it - but that should always be taken with a pinch of salt (after all the BBC and the Labour Party have certain links...)

They (the government and some BBC reports) trump it up to sound brilliant

so environmentally safe (not as safe as using an alternative to fossil fuels),
so much cheaper than road tax and fuel tax (does anyone actually believe these things will be removed, and if they are that we wont end up paying more? When do taxes ever go down without being bumped up even higher elsewhere?)
with charges ranging between 2p per rural mile to £1.34 on the motorway (my car does about 10p to the mile, and like most people I don't live out in the STICKS).

But remember, with this system the government will know where your car (and you) are all the time, how fast you are going, where you are parked, and if you make an honest mistake you will still be fined! I agree that if you flout the law you should be fined, but anyone can make a mistake. How easy is it to drift a couple of miles over the limit by mistake?

Although the scheme would render traffic wardens redundant...

But anyway, feel free to browse the web for all the info you want on this, but if like me and many others you think this is just another governmental scam to line their own pocket, click here and sign the petition:

Wedding List.... (OMG)

A new kitchen.... Really! We need one! So I've been saying to people that we'll want either B&Q or Ikea vouchers... Only I can't say which yet because I haven't choosen which one I like best: B&Q Oak Shaker style: ( on froogle ) ( on their site ) Ikea: Tildaholm BECAUSE... our kitchen is REALLY badly laid out, the storage is dropping to bits, the seal round the sink is black and festering, the oven hasn't worked for YEARS (the hob and grill are ok though), the seal on one of thef ridge doors has gone too, and the floor... half tiled, half bare concret! But now I have to choose which one I like best, and get the measurements sorted out, and then get the prices for what I can have in the space we've got... PHEW!

Recipe Review: Hairy Bikers liver & bacon with onions & gravy

I need a bit of comfort food at this time of year. I really love this recipe from The Hairy Bikers: Liver and bacon with onions and gravy and freely admit that I have whipped this from the BBC Food website. I follow the recipe (but sometimes chuck some mushrooms in too) and split it four ways at 11 pro points per serving. It's a classic, and even my 6 year old likes liver cooked like this - the 4 & 2 year olds need a little extra ketchup to convince them. The Hairy Bikers’ traditional liver and bacon makes a simple supper packed full of flavour and bursting with vitamins and minerals Ingredients 450g/1lb lambs’ liver , sliced and fully thawed if frozen 25g/1oz butter 2 tbsp sunflower oil 4 tbsp plain flour 1 onion , halved lengthways and sliced 125g/4½oz rindless streaky bacon rashers, each cut into 4–5 pieces 1 beef stock cube 500ml/18fl oz jus t-boiled water 1–2 tsp tomato ketchup salt and freshly ground black pepper Preparation method Rinse the liver in a cola
