No it's about getting you out of you car and into a good pair of wallking shoes. No more foreign holidays either. Work within 3 mile of your home too (walking distance). It's the future, mark my words. That's an old philosophy. It comes in several flavours. "The more bitter the medicine, the more good it will do you." "Anything you enjoy doing is bad, anything you hate doing is good." Nothing whatsoever to do with it. Just a fact of life. So put on your hair shirt and try to live as miserably as possible - that's *bound* to do some good. The good ol' Protestant work ethic, eh? All it is is propaganda to make poor people believe that they are somehow better off than the rich people. -- Cynic |

The good ol' Protestant work ethic, eh? There's a miserabilist streak in most greenies. It goes with the territory. They just enjoy telling everyone else what to do. All it is is propaganda to make poor people believe that they are somehow better off than the rich people. Yes, they do all they can to make us use public transport, but it will be a long time before the government and the leaders of industry stop using their big cars and their helicopters. Bill |

It makes them look green (which impresses the thick) and it rakes in a lot of 5ps. Bill |

I'd be happy to support this, if -- and only if -- the full 5p per carrier bag goes directly to charity. Sadly this would never work, as 95% of it would end up funding a committee tasked with deciding which charity gets the remaining 0.25p per plastic bag... -- David Taylor |

In message , Lord Turkey
Cough writes They may well starve to death but I imagine most people faced with this prospect would not be willing to go quietly. You will see riots and wars before that happens, you might not be able to afford to feed your self but a gun is a going look very cheap in comparision food prices. Torching fuel stations selling biofuel or torching cars which run on biofuel would be a sensible starting point. It's the wonderful stuff like this that keeps Turkey Trot out of the KF here, man do they put LSD in the turkey feed pellets? -- bof at bof dot me dot uk |

Seems like some overpaid moron w*anker scientist/enviromentlist has got his sums wrong somewhere down the line. What has this got to do with uk.tech.digital-tv? I expect Turkey Trot saw something about it on a 16:9 aspect digital TV. -- bof at bof dot me dot uk |
