As we know, you installed the 'green heating system' in anticipation of receiving the Heat Incentive payments. Are you expecting your hybrid car and LED lights to also be paid for by poorer people?

I thought they already were :huh: the car anyway

How is the car subsidized by the poor?

I assume it comes out of general taxation...

We all pay VAT etc so we all pay towards the grant rich or poor.

Yeah my cavity wall insulation was subsidised too by £150 which was paid through my council tax.

Following your logic it is likely all these subsidised cavity wall and perhaps loft insulation grants brought about the bedroom tax for skint councils?

Nothing in life is properly funded esp. my public sector pension

Another example of funds moving from the poor to the rich. Thanks for that info.

I wish I could afford a new car but hey ho a new bike will have to do instead. More fun anyway

When the old railway line past my house gets surfaced I'd love an electric bike to zoom into work, that would be cool

I'm incandescent with Rage!

I am subsidising poor people's FiT payments!!

I wasn't able to get Solar panels for my Grade 1 listed mansion (frightful looking things anyway) but I nearly choked on my foie gras to discover I am paying poor people to have them! Luckily my man servant was on hand to help me.

This is Simply outrageous!

Electric bikes are great for those people who cannot ride a mechanical bike for one reason or another - such as large hills, poorer health, etc. but who still want to get out and about in the fresh air.

I really like the look of these bikes: http://a2b.ultramotor.com/en/a2b_hybrid_26

A bit space-age looking, very cool.

It's 18 miles each way for me to cycle to work :eek:
The thought of jumping on an electric bike right beside my house then zooming down a prefectly flat straight path straight to the city would be fab.

Due to the way the roads work I have to drive half at present

Great looking bike
