No emotion in my posts, talking about or to yourself again?


Oh really ? Just to pick one at random.

What, in that, are you defining as emotion?

To refresh your memory of GH's post - " the reality is

Thank you, but there was no need at all to take the
trouble. Charing Cross is a phrase used to represent
Central London, and the post effectively meant that *SE
England* is only 15% built-up. In such conditions (as I'm
sure you know) a 60 mile commute inside an hour is not
impossible. Indeed, *I* frequently do a 67 mile journey
(not in London of course, but certainly in SE England) in
about 70 minutes - during the morning and evening peaks,
too.
But apparently, that's not possible...

As with all things it depends on the start and end points.
In this instance Charing Cross was cited as the reference
point from which a one hour commute by car will take the
individual a maximum of ten miles, on a good day.

He didn't say "commute by car" (see for yourself - it's
reproduced above, courtesy of your good self).

Perfectly true, I added " by your favoured mode" which until now GH has not
disputed.

Why not create a scheme in which long term
council tenants can get assistance to buy a house on the open market?



Seems sensible to me, as long as it does not involve me subsidising them as
in when they bought their houses.

I was always surprised by the sudden increase in value of these houses, who
in their right mind would want to buy a house on a council estate unless the
price was artificially low.

It's **** or be ****ed, unfortunately. That's why we are
supposed to have governments and leaders to guide us.

Are you admitting by that statement that you are sufficiently unintelligent
that you are incapable of treating other people in a reasonable manner?

It makes you wonder doesn't it? It's just another aspect of people being
suckered in by Thatcher's, "property owning democracy" which is ok until it
becomes a millstone round the neck.

Typical union. Sounds like the bloke deserved the sack.

No, I'm simply being realistic. One person making a "stand" cannot do
much on their own. Governments need to impliment policies that encourage
fairness within the limits of practicality. It's one thing being nice to
people in the street and generally being a good citizen; it's quite
another matter when serious, life changing, amounts of money are involved.
