    There are 100 Billion chinese........and only 172,000 british people left in the uk.........most of us have emigrated to sunnier climes.............why is it up to those 172,000 to be taxed to save the world?

    the population of china is 1,313,973,713 (July 2006 est.) so 1.3 UK billion and 131 US billion

    sorry could you explain what you meant by only 172,000 british people left in the uk? what is your definition of british?

    Also worth a look is vapextech ... http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Vapextech-Batteries-and-Chargers_W0QQssPageNameZstrkQ3amefsQ3amesstQQtZkm

    Delivery is quick and from the uk.

    I've found that the vapex batteries last a lot longer than the uniross ones.

    They also sell the NiMh+ which don't lose their charge if left for a while.

    My point is quite clear...although my figures are exagerated to protect the innocent!....no matter how much you are "green taxed" or how green everybody in europe try to be,china will negate that saving 1000 times over......so how much would you need to be taxed to make a difference...............and remember you would need to be a taxpayer......as gordon brown stated in the budget yesterday,unless you are on benefit or recieving tax credits of some sort,the person that pays most is the humble uk working man/woman just trying to better themselves and their family,running a car and going on holiday abroad once or twice a year......it's a fact,people earning around 16,000 a year will pay more tax......more income tax....more fuel tax...more ciggie tax....more drink tax....more council tax...more travel tax,and it is these people who are expected to pay for green policies....................wake up and smell the Co2............

  • For those lucky enough to live in an area where INXS flourishes
    there was an offer of recharger plus 4 batteries at £3
    The rechargeable batteries are always pretty cheap at any time at £2.75
