players Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Is there any other service where where many pay to use it but others get free access? Council housing, school meals, the armed forces, the NHS, the education system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splodgeyAl Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Semantics. Most vehicles are levied with VED. Most vehicles also need roads to drive on. Hence why it is commonly called "road tax". So, a colloquialism, then. I wonder what the point of a discussion would be if nobody worried about the meanings of the words being used Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hots on Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I didn't say anything was incorrect, he is correct in the same way saying a garden rake is not a pen. I was saying his comments are stupid. Who in their right mind would compare children crossing the road with cars? Its called using humour to make a good point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't you see that you've mooted your own point by using the word "most"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeadingNorth Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Naah - It's still funny. At this point it's arguable which is funnier - the original post that was quoted, or Wex's attempts to disagree with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, WeX is always good value - I particularly enjoyed his not working out what I was getting at on this thread - but that Craggy Island milk float tickles me every time I look at it. Sam1970's failure to understand custardy's points on the thread are also worth a smile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
