Completely agree Ady

I travel to Singapore a fair amount with work, the one thing that always makes me laugh:

When on a plane TO SINGAPORE, the announcement before landing "Please note that anybody found to be importing drugs into Singapore will be punished by the death penalty" No messing there!

When coming back TO THE UK, similar timed announcement "please note that the importation of dairy, plant and meat products is forbidden"

The sooner we start getting tougher on people, the sooner we'll get this country back on track. People will either learn to abide, or move out, simples

You're right, that does feel better  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

Set up by someone who is obviously not too happy. Some interesting/fun stuff in there. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Didn't say it was perfect TDV8, but its a massive step in the right direction.  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

Don't misunderstand my position - I'm fully supportive of full and meaningful sentencing of offenders. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

I think the issue is that things have slipped so much now over here, that trying to recover the position is very difficult. What with 'human rights' and all that other
I'd definitly consider Singapore if the option became available to move there.
Only down side is I'd have to say bye bye to the RRS, their car tax and import fees are astronomical  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

I think each of the water companies waste between 21-27% of their water 3bn litres/day. Who's going to fine them for that? also can we customers keep their fines?

Also my car is getting a good soaking in the rain today but its getting dirtier not cleaner

ahh the golden days of a clean car Oh wow

Just enjoy driving it and stop worrying about a bit of muck on the thing...  2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

Good point. Its not a Chelsea tractor Oh wow

Greased lightening in the past I'd jet wash it at a garage then use that stuff at home.. Great for a last min shine up!

Plenty of water here in Blackpool, I'll post some down to you boys if your really stuck

Anyways nobody has been fined during a hosepipe ban, it's a myth... Like a Swan can break your arm RRS Dynamic

Here in Thames Water area I have just left it out in the torrential rain...3 weeks non stop rain with a monsoon for the last 24 hours!

I think the main problem down south is their insistence on a daily bath whereas we make do with a weekly Sunday dip only ,so,why not divert your bath outlet to a water butt should be enough in by Saturday and run your Karcher out of that,problem solved  MY2011 HSE Santorini/Ivory/Piano Black/Privacy Glass/TV .Sadly gone.

i get charged £70 a month for the water that comes of my roof, if it rains or not, so there is no way in hell they would stop me using a hosepipe, you cannot charge on one hand and then say you cannot use it coz we have none......!

Put it another way, how can the water board expect you to pay for water they can't provide, thats exactly what they are expecting people to do Would you still pay for fuel for your motor if they couldn't provide it Here you are a full tank of fresh air that will be £120 please

I think you should delete that one ady !! it could well happen in this country, so dont give them any new ideas to screw us for a few more quid. these cars are expensive to run as it is for sake
