Those are the tourists, the natives are still using a pony and cart and the tax exiles just buy a new car and say its a company vehicle by sticking an advert on the exhaust pipe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted July 21, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted July 21, 2022 (edited) I don't think you see it as much anymore, but a few years back when there was an election every lampost would be adorned with signs from the major political parties with the name on their candidate on. This kind of thing, except I remember them having candidate names on And I used to wonder about the logic of it. It would just be lampost after lampost of the same signs with the same names on it. Do people really base their voting decisions on this? Is it one of those things where you HAVE to do it because the other parties are doing it so you don't want to be the one party that doesn't. A bit like having nuclear weapons Nobody actually needs them. But you have to have them because other people have them Edited July 21, 2022 by Stevo985 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit like having nuclear weapons Nobody actually needs them. But you have to have them because other people have them I think and I might be wrong that they started removing the actual names because that would count towards each candidates election expenses whereas without the names they became part of the parties national election expenses and economies of scale obviously play a part there too. (even though they all get them printed by friendly printers who do it at non-profit prices) But yes, it's definitely your nuclear weapons theory, which is why certain candidates in certain seats from certain parties might get jack shit from the national party at the next GE as certain parties might not actively try to win that seat 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's mostly, I think, the billboard equivalent of spam e mail, or junk mail - I'm pretty sure most people completely ignore it. Personally I like to swear at the blue ones as I pass by. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted July 21, 2022 Moderator Share Posted July 21, 2022 So, I've driven a lot of different cars this week, I've been moving cars between our sites and stuff Every single car I've been in (10+) has the radio on FM not DAB but more illogically on a station on FM that is on DAB Why would you do that? Why would lots of people do that? DO they not realise that the sound quality is that much better on DAB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can of worms here but for me in Staffordshire I stick to FM as it handles a weaker signal better. Dab just goes silent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
