Not strictly correct. If you buy a drink from a pub, you're paying more than you would in a shop, effectively buying the atmosphere. If you buy beer from a shop, you pay for the container (although it's debatable whether you could get good beer there anyway). Also, many byproducts are thrown away when making beer, in the same way that eggshells etc are eventually thrown away before consumption (and sometimes, e.g. in a cafe, before being bought). Mr Trad should be informed.

This really is becoming a pattern. Minions of the proposterous ponytail joining up and rapidly going on to display their lack of ability to follow a locical argument, total lack of humour (especially in the irony dept.) and so resorting to personal abuse.

Oh dear, further humiliation for Small Pith::

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/mainfram ... akfast_sun

1 hour 24 minutes in.

Chief Constable of South Yorks rips Small Pith apart:

"An organisation of less than 3000 people, the only people who agree with the crapseed campaign are your members. The AA had more members than Crapspeed by 1914!"

Small Pith is hopping made but it's his own fault, whenever he dares pop his head above the parepet and speak publicly he makes an utter ass of himself!

He no longer posts on Google groups because he was laughed off the forum.

He ran away from this forum after his lies were exposed about the perversion of justice he encouraged.

He bans anyone who disagrees with him from his forum of nodding dogs.

He censors posts that highlight his muddled thinking and actually had the sheer nerve to go into a critic's post on the crapspeed forum
AND EDITED THE POST TO CHANGE THE MEANING!

What's he so terrified of?

Spindrift is well known for his ad-hominem attacks on anyone who disagrees with him, his fuzzy thinking, and his tendency to re-register on forums from which he has already been banned. He has recently registered as "rothbook" on Cycling Plus (his previous monikers all having been ejected), and as "slowcoach39" on Pistonheads (where he has also been banned multiple times). As usual, he pretended on Pistonheads to be a random disinterested member of the public who just happened to be in favour of speed cameras; once his real identity was revealed, he stopped posting.

Spindrift is currently being sought in connection with several pending prosecutions, and is a dangerous and unstable individual whose obsession with Paul Smith is an example of his condition. He refuses treatment for his problems and instead attempts to dissipate his irrational anger by posting playground insults and hiding behind a computer screen. It is alleged that when debating face-to-face, he loses his "bravado" and tends to run away immediately. Even the vast majority of posters on Cycling Plus, which he considers his home and his source of support, have long since tired of his predictable and banal antics, and several polls have shown that his presence is in general not desired.

Spindrift, I suggest that you take a break from online activities for a month. Or are you so addicted to textually insulting people that you are unable to do that? We shall see.

Cunobelin, I can see you now. Transformed into an elderly English lady with a floppy hat and welly boots. Of a social class belied by a cut-glass accent, living on the pension of a long dead Naval officer husband. You spend your summers holidaying in Norway, and now know the locals well enough that they tell you about poor starving Trolls ekeing out an existence underneath bridges. Each day you get up early at the South Coast Troll Sanctuary, and take a bucket of hot oats and discarded Usenet postings out to the Trolls.

Unable to stop posting then Spinny? Why do you keep registering under new avatars and then ceasing to post once you have been uncovered? Why can't you debate in a civilised way without insulting people? Why don't you take your pills (at least not the ones prescribed to you)?

Quite funny that the real trolls identify themselves by constantly describing others as trolls (and using that as an excuse to evade their difficult questions).

Ah, his very own week now - aswell as column inches.
What I don't understand, is PS is such an evil Doctor Death and his campaign is so rubbish and flawed, then why is his campaign published in all the newspapers and on the BBC, and your campaign to keep / maintain / get more speed cameras is published, well, nowhere? And we're not just talking the Highland Herald, either, we're talking national newspapers and on the BBC.

There must be some truth behind the notion that this is what the public want.

RESIDENTS on some of Bolton's rat-run roads are to be given cameras to catch out speeding motorists .

http://www.theboltonnews.co.uk/mostpopu ... orists.php

The people of Ramsbottom, Lancashire, are to be provided with hand-held speed guns by police as part of a "speed watch" campaign in the area.

http://www.eta.co.uk/news/newsview.asp?n=721

The local residents of Wildmill, Bridgend, have started a 3-month operation to target speeding motorists

http://www.saferbridgend.org.uk/current ... n_wildmill

In Leeds residents of Roundham View are helping to stop the traffic at a zebra crossing that is constantly violated by speeding motorists. School children put their lives at risk every day trying to cross the road and the residents want to educate motorists to slow down around schools. A local resident said: "Rushing just to save five minutes might one day cost a child's life: it's not worth it."

Residents of Gnosall and Haughton villages in Staffordshire have been campaigning for years for the speed limit to be better enforced. Local resident Derek Butlin said: "We don't have the speed cameras that we have been asking for despite local support from our MP. We need to change behaviour: drivers need to realise that to exceed the speed limit is putting other people's lives at risk as well as their own." They are reiterating their message today with numerous posters up and down the village.

Meanwhile in the South-east, Alexandra Residents' Association in Muswell Hill, north London, is staging a protest today along with other groups in the area. The residents are asking motorists to drive at 20mph. Sarah Holding, local resident, explained: "All the residents' groups in the area believe that 20mph is a sensible speed for residential roads, enabling children to use the street and the elderly to cross the road safely."

Students at Bradford University are using dummy speed cameras to remind motorists to slow down and are video taping speeders in action. They will also have pedestrians and cyclists out in force to remind motorists that these vulnerable groups share the road.

Residents of Bampton in Oxfordshire are getting off to an early start today with their event to educate drivers to slow down through their village. The pub is opening especially early to serve coffee to keep the campaigners going. Sue Helm, local resident, expressed her reasons for demonstrating: "With the likely increase in the numbers of cars and lorries on the roads, we must do something to halt the intimidating effects of speed that people face when doing something as simple as walking to school or to the shop."

In Hampshire, the Selborne Traffic Action Group (STAG) is campaigning to get speed limits enforced in the village. Resident and group member Roy Selwyn explained the situation: "The police say that up to 80 per cent of traffic exceeds the 30mph speed limit at some point in the village but they refuse to take any action to enforce the limit. At present, we have no traffic calming or speed cameras." Group members, parents and children are holding a demonstration close to the school.

Residents of the village of Shere in Surrey are staging a poster protest, and have put up a huge "Speed kills" banner in response to motorists driving far too fast through their narrow village streets. Candace Brooke, local resident and parent, said: "A while back we asked the police to set up a speed check point down our end of the street and they told us it was just too dangerous for their officers. If it isn't safe enough for the police, what does that say for the rest of us?"
