So having spent £1,000,000 installing charging points for EVs across Bristol the council have admitted that on average each one has been used less than one a month. What a complete waste of money!

George Ferguson stated yesterday "As we celebrate our year as European Green Capital we need to a lot more to to make a positive impact upon the city's air quality". So will he raise the 20mph limits to 30mph so we can stop driving around in 2nd gear? Of course not.

You could not make this up!

Grover and Bex are right. I also feel unwelcome in Bristol and only venture in if I cannot get and do what I want or need elsewhere. 45 on the M32, 20 round the centre and all up Whiteladies Road, chicanes, excessive traffic lights, RPZs and "pace cars". Why would anyone want to go to Bristol.

Unfortunately I have to go in quite often for work and I've devised a plan to have a bit of a go back. I always quote a written fixed price quote for a job, but the invoices from here on will show £30 less than that but are subject to a £30 "George Ferguson Surcharge" thereby bringing the total up to the quoted price. Point made, I hope.
