Germany's green credentials were held up as higher than others, yet they still produced cars that polluted more than was beleived, i.e. reputations are not always reliable. |

On the original question, does anyone work or even know of a petrol station, where you fill up, pay, but when you drive away your fuel gauge is still reading empty?

Sorry about last post, I've cracked it, the answer if you complained is, 'get a bike'.

QUOTE (On the edge @ Oct 28 2016, 07:56 AM) Good questions, and like this particular solution illustrates what's wrong with our local governance, ready, fire, aim. Personally, I agree with what Spartacus and you are saying; we do need rather more analysis. Again, demonstrating that we would be better off having services managed and delivered by much larger professional agencies. Also it has to be considered that now both our local Authorities are making cuts to services staff numbering should be seriously looked at? -------------------- Vexatious Candidate?
