Expanded ULEZ

They should look at some of the ULEZ scams going on.. Apparently there is one where people are duped into scrapping their non compliant car, under the promise of a subsidy from Sadiq Khan only to find its a scam.

Well...
Did anyone believe that the £160M would really go to the people?
I had to threaten them with court proceedings to get a response, otherwise I'd be one of the scammed.

agreed - but it depends what they were using to make their bombs. Modified fireworks or fertiliser, etc would be my guess. Hard to prove conspiracy without first proving the link. I suspect counter terrorism plod have infiltrated them.

There might be undercover plod in the 'blade runners' (what an absurdly grandiose name). But I doubt it was the hardest investigation ever. The other member listed above wasn't exactly the sharpest replicant in the box.
 
Still some hatred going on in Upminster this morning. Hall Lane, just off the A127.

I think I might have to get rid of our diesel Golf and get a compliant vehicle sooner rather than later. As the date gets nearer, the prices of non-compliant vehicles will fall and the price of compliant vehicles will rise. I can see a point when a 2001 petrol Focus will be worth more than a 2016 diesel Discovery Sport! I'm just glad I got rid of our Evoque last year!

I'm just going to get an old petrol hatchback as it will only be for running the dog about in and for use as a second car - its great when you can just park it anywhere in a car park and not give a **** about anyone hitting the doors with a shopping trolley or catching the bumper when they squeeze in or out of a space.

Do you want a 21 yo Mitsubishi Space Star? Going cheap, ULEZ friendly, apparently.

Did it blow down? ;-)

Bit gusty in sunny Staffs overnight :eek:


Still, the air will be cleaner than a very clean thing over the normally riffy Sarf today......

The waft of the vape will be nought but a fart in a hurricane (y)

All thanks to Sadiq Khan and his popular ULEZ expansion, no doubt. Clean air for Staffies and Yam Yams.
