Front page news all right..

Also asking anyone have they used a petrol station sounds a bit silly..

We won't get the internet for another 5 years!

flyton5 · 15-09-2010 11:31PM

Have a look at some of the metal covers protecting wires or whatever on footpaths. A lot of them still say P&T on them. Posts and Telegraphs...backwards as fúck...

If its going to create jobs then thats a good thing.

Lets be a little bit positive instead of embarking on a 10 page whinge-fest about how sh!t we are.

In fairness, its pretty

that we have not had one up until now, surely why we have been building motorways over the last 10 years + it would be something they would put in.

Agree though anything that creates jobs is a good thing, better late than never, but it kind of sums up what is wrong with how the country is run.

Can everybody speak up please? We can't hear you here over the noise of our hovercraft

Celly Smunt · 15-09-2010 11:41PM

I'd love to pay a toll so that I could get somewhere for 20 quids worth of fuel and an e-coli sandwich right about now.
