Gas (petrol) prices, and public transport.

2005, Paul Terry remarked: Is the MOT a "tax", though? I wouldn't have said so. It is, however an expense that can be set against tax under certain circumstances (returning to the context of the original point, once again). The *original* point was the cost of motoring vs public transport. -- Roland Perry |

So neither the American who mentioned US vehicle inspections, or I who mentioned MOTs, were right to think that these are related to the cost of motoring? Forgive me if I choose no longer to participate in this mind-numbing pedantry, which appears to have lost the whole thrust of the point and which has totally ignored what I wrote about the reasons for increased use of public transport in London. -- Paul Terry |

They relate to the cost of motoring, but it was wrong for you to include it in a list of "taxes imposed in the UK". -- Roland Perry |
