Not wanting to sound like a "Grumpy Old Man" but this seems to be typical of the way society unfortunatley seems to be going, it's awful that this happend to this lady or anyone, but this attitude seems prevelent these days.
The litter thrown down, the sods who damage your car in the supermarket car park and drive away !!! just typical of todays attitude.
I was glad to see that the drunk driver on last night's Police camera action got 4 years in jail,he showed no remorse for his victim and I was glad the Police got him on this second occasion. We should have more of this but just think of the cost saving in our time, tax etc if all people behaved a little more responsably and thought of others and just think the world could be a better place !!!
However stop dreaming, this is Blairs nanny state and I am sure that before long motorbikes will be banned as being anti social and we will have to use electric scooters !! rant over, have a good day,

But 4 years is not 4 years, its probably 2 if that and I would bet my last pound that with a week of getting out he will be behind the wheel, pi55ed and without insurance etc.

But this is a symptom of society as a whole. We glorify the things which are wrong and we put people down for doing or saying the right thing. Just look at how the gangster lifestyle is glorified in music and games. Your kids and mine are growing up thinking these things are acceptable and part of life today. No one is saying these things are wrong. Same with immigration. Everyone knows UK is a soft touch and a place to make money. I would welcome the same level of immigration as Australia in this country. We do live in a very privileged place in this country and if you have been to a 3rd world country you'll realise just how fortunate we are in UK.

We will reap what we sow !!

And the gits are going to make you pay for parking your bike in London soon!

That means that there`l be reduced parking coz they won`t be able to put enough parking meters on existing bays.

As I sit here, reading this thread in my(permanent) home in France, it re-inforces my feeling that apart from the occasional visit to family, I never want to be in the UK again.....

And do you really think the life out there is safer than here?

Now what you say???

[Scooter916]

Yup it sure is if you get run over in tahiland it will be by a tuk tuk.
Seriously though if People break the law in thailand they pay for it big time, Ok there is a maffia issue but then again that sorts a lot of crime too.
I firmly belive that the uk is going to the dogs, I for one am sick of paying through the teeth to Keep scumbags in our country, TAX on tax. And now Mr Browns Son has an ailment we will be taxed some more.
Whilst I belive the BNP are a little too radical they do have some very good points.
The only thing that is left Great about Britain now is our armed forces, and they too are being treated like second rate citizens.
Rant over LOL

That's exactly how me and Doogalman feel. It really will be for the family that we would come back for visits. And the odd bit of Dead fish and root vegetable (fish and chips) LOL
