The car tax rate for 2020 seems to be the same as last year, moggieman.

EasyJet have just released their autumn flights.

No, that's good Jeff. It means you have a strong sense of social justice and are extremely liberal in outlook. Live and let live. You're not, by any chance, an ageing hippie? That would fit!

I have just done your Political Compass test, Warwick, and find myself in the quarter marked Libertarian Left -- in almost the exact spot occupied by Mahatma Gandhi... Excuse me if I feel a bit smug and quite surprised.

Totally agree with Warwick, Keltz and SueA. What started as a reasonable discussion thread has degenerated into a lot of juvenile point-scoring that has been hijacked by headbangers and effectively shut out the vast majority of forum members. It's very tedious and very boring.

Toebs asks if anyone has seen scooby.

He's not the only gung-ho Brexiteer on this and other threads who's gone rather silent.

Perhaps staring into the abyss has rendered them speechless?

Yes, Tim's right about the roundabout in Sitia which, after about six? years since it was built, can still be a frightening place for the unwary. Most of the locals have now learnt how to use it, but there are still a few old boys in pick-ups who drive on to it without looking left or reducing speed...

Izal? Is that the paper we used to "play" by putting it next to a comb and humming...? No, that was Bronco I think. Happy days.
