Vote for me and I'll save the planet. Not that it needs saving, you understand. Not so long ago (in earth terms) the whole of the UK was 100ft underwater. That must have been climate change I reckon. And then there was all that ice.......................need I go on? My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

So it's a bit hard to take on board the 'fact' that fossil fuels are running out. Trees= charcoal=coal and oil. A planet full of them =more than we'll ever use. And yet I see fuels gone up again.....4p in 2 days at my local filling station. I think I'll plant some more trees in my garden............ My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

More than £100 million per month of the cost of filling your car, goes to our Treasury in taxes. Total value of all motoring taxes going to the government yearly is, I believe, around the £50 billion mark. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions
