    Do you want to retract your statement above following the screenshot provided by PR? smiley-rolleyes008.gif

    Maybe somebody is not smoking hard enough. :rotfl:

    Pollycat, for your info, search-gov.com isn't a copycat website.
    It is a domain created to spoof search results. If you don't understand what that is, make google your friend.

    If Poweful Rogue does another search on google for congestion chage - he will probably hate to see what has happened right infront of his eyes!!

    For your 'info'

    You are a boor!

    You lack the good grace to apologise when you make an error yet you're quick to criticise others.

    Appalling and graceless behaviour!

    What - make Google 'my friend' as you have?
    So that I can post random, irrelevant links and comments as you do?
    No, I have more intelligence than that.

    And talking of intelligence:

    No, hpuse, the old saying is actually
    "you reap what you sow"

    It's taken from The Bible, Galatians Chapter 6, verses 7-8:
    Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
    For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting

    Google it.
    Google can be your friend - I think you need one. :rotfl:

    "you reap what you sow" - especially if you read what you're clicking on websites before getting your credit card out!

    Time and again, this thread is a living example of a classic human behavioural science applied in a public forum...

    If you read something that you do not want to read then speak out what you like to read...73 pages is still not enough for some people....
