was up town earlier and got offered a tenner to do a survey ;D
it was one on your CO2 footprint, and as its done by the government WE ultimately paid for it to take place, so its more like a tax rebate .
if they are doing this near you i urge you to take part as it seems the government is trying to guage how willing we are to accept CO2 taxes , or some Personal Carbon Trading scheme where you would have to pay for any carbon dioxide above a certain level you produced 9but didn't seem to take account of any you saved by recycling, having a lovely overgrown garden that soaks up CO2 etc.)
It was well worth the time, not only did i get a tenner but also the chance to have a rant about these hair brained schemes . and I'm not some ignorant global warming denier either , I just see it as a stealth tax, as unless we get China and the USA on board anything we do will be futile , i also object to taxing the individual whilst letting companies ship food and such like all around the world in the name of capitalism without making them accountable for their CO2 outputs .
If we were truly serious about global warming we would stop the needless waste of resources from excessive food miles and shipping products that can be built anywhere from one side of the world to the other in the name of cost reduction . And the bogus green claims of some vehicle manufactures such as the so called "green" hybrid vehicles which are far from being green over their life cycle compared to a small capacity car built in the UK such as the mini diesel . Not only are they shipped from japan to here, but the resources required in producing them are far in excess of that of regular cars . Its estimated they need to be on the road for 20 years before their lower CO2 outputs offset the damage done in their production and transport .
Rant Over , had a nice lunch with that tenner ;D

I haven't read the post but judging from the title I cansafely assume that you meant you've pushed a tenner up your arse, hence "free money in Ilford", i.e.you, and you just want people to reach in and get it out, thereby simoultaneously massaging your prostate?
You're a sick man Dave, a sick, sick man.

Dave, karma has been given and I totally agree with you're post.
All this bullshit about energy saving, carbon footprint, yadda fooking yadda.....look at the size of Britain compared to the USA and China, what fooking difference will it make?
