Meaning?
Am I missing out on something obvious where my paying for bike parking
in Westminster is assisting somebody to monitor my movements when the
government doesn't already know where I am for 90% of the time?
As to the name calling: I wasn't calling you an idiot. I was just
pointing out that starting off with the words " with the greatest of
respect" is how you treat idiots and you used them, not me.

Yeah right, when you can show me where the council tax payer is going
to lose out on this one then I'll sign up for your ideas but until
then I'll mark them down as bollocks.

Very intelligent response.

It didn't.
So far you've dished out the standard crap like the "with the greatest
respect" bit and "blinkered" then followed up with the "you've not
really thought this one through, have you..." then went for the
jugular with the old time favourite of "HTH"
I'm not really sure what your problem is but it's obviously a major
one. I don't see why anyone should object to paying for the right to
park a motorbike but it seems obvious that you seem to think that
makes me some kind of a retard. Well hey, we're all entitled to our
opinions and if me thinking that paying for parking isn't such a bad
thing makes me dumb then I'm cool with that.
I've seen a lot worse things posted on ukrm and I've never felt the
need to change my posting name to cover up for the stupid things I've
said previously.
