I don't think you understand what a scam is, maybe lay off the gin. The scam is the government don't own the land they just claimed it as their own and charge people to use it . And I do know what a scam is as it's happening everyday by our government . No need to be a smart arse I don't even drink it's simply a name.

It cost a fortune to have a car on the road these days without getting scammed further by the council. And where does this money go anyway? because it certainly isn't spent on maintaining the roads. Car ownership costs a fortune because cars are expensive. Their impact on the world & society around them is expensive. Offsetting pollution from car exhausts - expensive Giving up land, building costs, etc for parking/car parks - expensive Road infrastructure - expensive MOTs to ensure cars are in reasonable state to be on road - expensive Insurance to cover the high value damage cars do in accidents - expensive I'm not saying car ownership doesn't cost a lot of money, but all those costs are legitimate, and it's only fair that we as car owners pay those costs. A lot of car owners forget that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are we talking local government, central government or all combined?! In any case... owning a car does not entitle anyone to be able to park anywhere for free. 🤷♂️ 1 Sheffield Forum | The Sheffield Guide | The Sheffield Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
