Number plates
MOT stations have at least 17 ways to fail a number plate these days, and its a £30 fine (no points) for being pulled with wrong plates. " Size and spacing of characters: special cases 14A. - (1) This regulation applies in relation to any vehicle imported into the United Kingdom which - (a) does not have European Community Whole Vehicle Type Approval; and (b) is so constructed that the area available for the fixing of the registration plate precludes the display on the plate of a registration mark in conformity with the requirements of regulation 14. (2) In relation to a vehicle to which this regulation applies - (a) each character in the registration mark must be 64 millimetres high; (b) the width of each character of the mark, other than the letter "I" and the figure "1", must be 44 millimetres; © the width of every part of the stroke forming a character in a mark must be 10 millimetres; (d) the spacing between any two characters within a group must be 10 millimetres; (e) the vertical spacing between groups of characters must be 5 millimetres; (f) the width of a margin between the mark and the top and lateral sides of the registration plate must be not less than 5 millimetres; (g) the space between the bottom of the mark and the bottom of the registration plate must be not less than 13 millimetres; but, within that space, the space between the bottom of the mark and the top of the name and postcode of the person by whom the plate was supplied must be not less than 5 millimetres."[3] Signed by authority of the Secretary of State for Transport.

LPG/SRT10 ?? LPG/Zed ?? Purchase another vehicle to satisfy your daily needs, and keep the performance for the special days ! Or have one vehicle you really like and enjoy it ?

Just because he is Scottish, doesnt mean we want him back !!:whistling: One for all you Labour supporters out there ? You'll remember the Lisbon Treaty of Europe? The one that Labour promised a referendum on in their 2005 manifesto? The one that they then claimed was just a "tidying up excersise" and therefore we didn't need a referendum on? The very same one that Gordy signed by flying in the day after the official ceromony when all the cameras had gone? Yes, that one. It's just a treaty. Doesn't affect Britain at all. I mean, one of the minor points of the treaty is that qualified majority voting counts for pushing through directives. Under the old system, Britain (and everyone else) had a Veto. Now, we don't, thanks to Gordy. What could possibly go wrong?.............................. Quote: Originally Posted by The Daily Telegraph British taxpayers ordered to bail out euro Britain faces paying out billions of pounds under a European Union deal intended to prevent another financial crisis like the one in Greece. All 27 EU finance ministers have been summoned to Brussels on Sunday to sign up to a “European stabilisation mechanism. Britain will be unable to veto this as it will be put through under the “qualified majority voting” system. The deal, effectively to shore up the euro, was denounced as a “stitch-up” last night after it emerged Nicolas Sarkozy, the French President and Angela Merkel, the German Chancellor, had devised it behind closed doors and were attempting to push it through at a time when there is no clear government in Britain. Euro-zone leaders are attempting to get round objections from countries such as Britain by invoking Article 122 of the Lisbon Treaty, intended to enable a collective response to natural disasters. This does not need unanimous agreement. British exposure to liabilities created by a bail-out under the scheme would amount to around 10 per cent of the total loan. If a country failed to repay, the cost to Britain would be £10 billion (£8.6 billion) for every £100 billion on which it defaulted. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worl...-out-euro.html Just to summerize then. Labour promise a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty. Labour go back on the referendum and deny the people a say. Labour bankrupts the country ensuring that any government has to make cuts. Britain, whilst virtually bankrupt, becomes responsible for 10% of the debts of countries like Greece, Portugal, Spain, Uncle Tom Cobbley and all, effectively having to prop up a foreign currency. Thanks Gordy ! :cowboy: Alan..........

International calling card? Anyone used one?
My daughter calls home once or twice a week from China. Neither my wife or I need to be online ?? We are with Virgin. She also phones her gran who is with BT with no internet or any add ons. Think she said her last call which was around 70 minutes was nothing ? Can check and get back to you Si ? When we dial 1471, it comes up a local number which was designated to her by Skype. Not entirely sure how it works, but will find out for you if you want ? Alan........
