For example, having driven me to drink with the 1990 contract, at least he has the decency to lower the price so that I can still afford whisky on my reduced pay. And another thing (going into smug bastard mode), when my 30 year old DS 21 hits the road again in Spring (following a restoration which I can't really afford but who cares) I won't have to pay car tax on it! So that's two things I can thank him for. >what the f*ck!!! >Well, I'm sorry, but there may be a zillion reasons for >voting Tory next time around but I'm damned if I'm going >to.

Impeccable logic, except why do you think there might be even one reason for voting Tory? Apart from the fact that a lot of them are completely barking (see any statement by a Euro-sceptic), they are worn out and it's about time there was a change of government, if only for the sake of preserving the democratic process (and stopping us from descending even more into an accountant-dominated neo-feudal state of semi- slavery). -- Toby Lipman 7, Collingwood Terrace, Jesmond, Newcastle upon Tyne.
