car tax.
I don't begrudge paying a tax but I bought my car just before the green bandings came in, I cannot now afford to change my car, and I now find myself in one of the highest bandings.
I feel it is most unfair that a retrospective tax be applied to those people who purchased before the tax was announced or implemented.0 -

Having to pay tax on my small, hard earned comany pension :mad: :mad: :mad: . It's an insult to anyone who's saved hard for retirement and I'll vote for the first party who cancels it, then I'll know there really is a party which cares about the people...

These numbers must be the biggest con ever. No good the phone providers trumpeting that they have "free" landline calls, then all the companies now use only the above numbers. I used to use 18866 and my calls were virtually free, both here and abroad. With these numbers coming into force, I have to pay 5p per minute through my landline and much more on the mobile.
Why should I have to pay to contact someone who is giving me poor service? Grrrrr::mad:
As you obviously have a computer, go to SAYNOTO0870.com
Great, nearly all my 0870/0845 calls are now done through normal landlines, and the service, (to obtain a normal landline number). is free0 -
road tax, the roads up here are in an awful state all pot holes and patches0

I hate spending money on the ticket handling charge for theatre and concerts. It should be part of the price. One way to get around this is purchase directly from the theatre etc, but sometimes they even have an additional charge
I HATE paying for parking in hospitals and our local one charges you full rates unless your husband/ wife / parent has been in more than 14 days. It is only then that 1 of you can claim any reduction. Its even more expensive than parking to shop
Another hate is things like fences and roofs. Loadsa money and no 'to be seen' benefit
Printer ink is another unexplainable extortionate expense. Also all the rubbish about wrecking your printer if you don't use the manufacturers ink. Its practically the cost of a new printer to buy new cartridges.
Paying £3 for the priviledge of an Oystercard0 -
Toilet roll!Wench :wave:0
