As a fairly recent subscriber here, I noticed that..

"JNugent" and many other subscribers to this 'reducing congestion' thread
wrote about..

Housing and the lack of it..(tent & caravan shares are now on the up in the
UK)
Right to Buy council houses..(not forgetting negative equity)
Maggie Thatcher.. (aaarrrgghhhh!!)
Trade Unions.. (Gawd bless 'em)
Ted Heath.. (can't really remember him as PM)
Income tax..(we have to tolerate it)
Earnings tax..(same thing init?)
Tories..(can't stand 'em)
New Labour..( *any* kind of Labour Govt is better than a Tory Govt).

...with so many other subjects wrapped within the this thread.. I'd need a
week off work to catch up.

What seems to be conspicuous by it's absence in this thread are ideas on
*how* to reduce road congestion? I have my own ideas which would reduce
road congestion the UK.. "at a stroke" (to quote Maggie).

But, as this thread is already 3 miles long.. full of humps and hairpin
bends, and in all probability has run itself into exhaustion: I doubt very
much if any subscriber here would really want to know the most *effective*
way to reduce road congestion and make driving in the UK a pleasure once
more.

Believe me.. I know *exactly* how to bring that about. :-)

Luke.
