Heaps of energy in a flywheel Four people were killed at brooklands in 1930's when a badly lightened flywheel exploded If its damaged bin it .....not worth the risk Uncle smashed two fingers to bits with exploding grinder

I think everybody is getting pi$$ed off with number of jobsworthies employed in gov't We need to clean out the dross, My fencer went to see jobsworthy in Ruthin - refused to put cup of tea on his desk for health n safety reasons ( did it with me too) This was to guy who is putting up fencing on wet ground with mf sliding all over the field Just a bad joke employing people like that

Be nice if they spread the government ministries around the country How stupid ministry of fisheries n food ( or whatever its called now ) is in London How about relocating min of environment to say Somerset ? Loads of money --- for the South East How about decent train link for liverpool, manchester, bradford, leeds, doncaster, hull And four airports there too that could be linked Ever noticed motorways all point at London

I agree we are desperate for LESS GOVERNMENT but I did work "in the city" in London for three years The people are incapable of being straight, or doing anything " without taking a turn " and continually feel they can " blag their way through " so in my book not fit to run anything Problem is London sees itself as " head office " and the rest of us as underlings who are subserviant to them..... This attitude runs through the whole bloodyplace E.g. No-one gave a damm about floods in Somerset, but when they reached home counties the army called out immediately ......... Sorry but Not fit to be on the team

We have second biggest parliament IN THE WORLD Only China is bigger But then China is 20 times bigger than the UK so they have some justification I live in Wales I have parish council, county council, welsh assembly, uk parlament , eec parliament, I also have joy of contributing to the cost of running the royal family, who seem to be an alternative government in waiting..... i have met "representatives" from every levell & Frankly they are all crap If we met once a week in village hall, the village could sort 95% of what needs doing ......at a tenth of the cost I'd vote to bin the lot, if Scotland can walk away with their assets and no debts they would be stupid not to go for it.....

I think really clever thing would be to avoid political parties 100% no one will explain to me how they help democracy I can see how they help politicians, but not how they help the country We wouldn't have gone into Iraq if we'd had true democracy Switzerland seems to be nearest to real democracy and they aint doing too bad , but it does mean binning aristocracy, royal family, petty politics etc

Went out with girl whos dad was oil technician He knocked sump plug off his car and lost oil He said couple of pints of oil left so he rammed stick in to replace sump plug And topped up with water Said he knew oil emulsion would be good enough lubricant to get him home Not sure I'd do it with modern engine though -
I walked through London past houses of parliament and to be honest it meant nothing to me, sorry but it doesn't represent me...... They have spent so much effort in screwing up democracy in the UK that its pretty well permanently screwed now Has anybody met anyone who thinks Cameron is any good ? Ditto the rest of them ( bar denis skinner who says what he thinks) Bottom line WE DONT LIVE IN A DEMOCRACY .........democrats dont vote for political parties

You could take Swiss approach ----- cap personal income tax at say £60,000 So rich can be officially resident in scotland and reduce theirtax But few thousand coughing up £60k per annum adds up Plus they would want lots of expensive luxury items Ditto companies with corporation tax ..... So expect companies with offices in london. Manchester and edinburgh Companies will Export their profits to low tax area ...... Governments have to realise they will be in competion for businesses Over charge them andthey will move Or thy could go albanian way Close the borders Live on what they make I think cameron and his mates are crapping themselves at option one For all their fancy talk governments really dont want competition
