| How much litter do you have in your car? I cleaned out my car and collected 2 carrier bags full of litter. Most of it was those sticky parking tickets you get out of the Pay and Display meters. Surely there must be a more environmentally friendly way of paying for parking?
What about we get a single tax which we pay each year for using the road? This would cover our cars when parked and when in general use? I think this idea might catch on. Now what to call this tax that covers our use of the road ...... what about Road And Street Usage Tax?

| Re: How much litter do you have in your car? I've got 2 children, 7 and 11 - both boys - and they have no idea how to work a bin indoors. Therefore - no chance in the car!! You'd need your jabs to be up to date before you seat yourself in the back of my car!!!.
Off the subject a bit, but both my kids love to eat proper food - they're not your typical McD's fans - they hate Mcd's in fact. But they still make a hell of a bloody mess in the back when they're tooled up with Chicken Satay's, Veg Samosa's and yoghurt. at least they eat their food with equanimity.
But, the litter is still the same - well done fellas, but please, please, put the rubbish in the plastic bag rather than wedging bones and things under the front seat!!!
Kid's - who'd 'ave 'em? |

| Re: How much litter do you have in your car? I hate england  It hailed when I'd just finished leathering the car, and just started waxing it, the hail comes down.
Now it needs jet washing, leathering and waxing.
