They still stop a LOT quicker than 50 years ago despite the extra weight. The implication they are giving you is that the weight means the stopping distances are the same?.... Same goes for when not speeding as well so not sure what their point is. In fact, any/every journey (by car, bus...

Maybe, to make the votes "truly" fair is to select the teams that will be in the PL out of a hat (form all 92 teams). That will stop the incumbent PL teams from being quite so biased on this matter.

That's probably because the course is only addressing one thing? I suspect his corner cutting and lack of lane discipline are as much, if not more, the problem. They won't (I guess) have addressed that on his course so, whether he continues to speed or not, he won't be any better/safer a driver...

Aha. We don't know if there's more speeding though, just more of those that were currently speeding getting caught. Has the accident/crash/death rate gone up or down? Not that correlation means that much, it's causation that's the key. IMO the vast majority of people that crash do so because...

Can you explain what that "statistic" even means? It makes little sense in itself and just sounds "big" for effect without any supporting meaning. Is it 30k more caught, 30k more saying they went over the limit, 30k more "incidents" of speeding (is that per person or in total), etc. etc. For...

Especially when, I'm sure(?), the ends could be made bigger without affecting the load bearing arches. Still that wouldn't be cheap either.(and then there's the planning issues..................) I would assume the "cheapest" way to get more seats in (other than the easyjet option) would be to...

Ah right, so the ticket gets used more than 6 times (either by you/sister/uncle), that I can understand.

How many "no shows" will still be no-shows if we are playing Man Utd/City, Arsenal, Liverpool etc.....

Even going up and then straight back down again gives us loads of money and far more opportunity to build a better squad than years just in the Championship would ever do. NO team is ever truly "ready" for the Premier League until they get there so they can attract the quality of players that...

See, I don't understand this. Pay, what, £500 (?) for a season ticket and only see 6 games or just buy them on a game by game basis and 6 games cost £180 (assuming £30 tickets).

Same as Labour did as well (Bernie Ecclestone anybody! :D) It doesn't matter who is in power, business/rich/poor/unions/etc. will all try to get the ear of senior politicians.

I remember joining a team when I was in my mid-teens. They used to lose in double figures most games :D Then one day I said I'd have a go in goal (which I did sometimes at school) and we managed to get the losses into single figures (just!) and they hailed me as the best keeper they'd had in...

But Man Utd (and many others) spend so much money as well. Either way, money does appear to bring success. Everton have one of the best managers about but it never going to win unless he can get the best players in (who demand the big money that they can't afford) Maybe the lesson to be learnt...

Whilst this helps I'm sure, Utd first won it after a barren spell, how are City in any different position? Personally I think Utd will win it but would prefer City to win as it makes a change :D

Given that the 50p rate didn't bring in anything like what was hoped for and the evidence put forward indicates that move revenue would be generated at 45p, it's clearly the correct route to go down yes?

Well, you don't HAVE to pay as much tax as such if you move your money offshore (and other tax avoiding measures etc.).... Worst case scenario, Mr Richman moves abroad (taking his business/etc. with him).

In reply to ROSM above, Depends on how you define "ordinary". People earning £55k are a relative minority so many people wouldn't consider them "ordinary".

To use a crappy analogy ;) :D Think of a meal out. It costs £30 now. You pay it and restaurant get £30 of revenue from you. The restaurant wants more money so put it up to £40. You decide it's not worth it and don't have that meal and the restaurant get £0 revenue from you. The restaurant...

See my post earlier, the cut could (and probably will) INCREASE the income, not reduce it. Given that the allowance level is also being raised, middle-England could have MORE in their wage packet.

I agree it is a but half-arsed but I can see why they've done it this way, it's cheaper! To have means testing requires more civil servants and administration, probably negating any savings/revenue. They've gone with something relatively cheap to implement despite it's obvious anomalies. The...
