ROFL

Maybe if we all write in and complain they might ban the show - just like they banned the Coke ad with the guy on the bus..

speaking of mr scruby, this was his effort in my local rag today. the manly daily;-

OWNERS of four-wheel-drive vehicles should get rid of them before petrol prices spiral further, pedestrian advocate Harold Scruby says.



The Pedestrian Council of Australia chairman said it was &#96;&#96;great news'' that industry experts were predicting petrol prices could eventually hit $2 a litre.

&#96;&#96;Four-wheel-drives will drop in value by 50 per cent,'' Mr Scruby said. &#96;&#96;This is great news for everyone. I suggest to all people who own them to sell them now as they will not be worth anything in a few years' time.

&#96;&#96;People will not be able to afford to drive to work,'' Mr Scruby said.

&#96;&#96;It will be too expensive.

&#96;&#96;Hopefully this oil crisis will seriously push the Government into action ... (by) providing a decent public transport system.''

Mr Scruby said there should be more buses running on natural gas while companies should provide incentives for people who were not car-reliant.

&#96;&#96;We should be investing like there's no tomorrow in a really good public transport system.''

His comments came after Service Station Association chief executive officer Ron Bowden predicted petrol would increase to $1.45 a litre in the next few weeks.

With the climbing price of crude oil - which has moved to beyond $US70 a barrel - he said petrol would eventually reach $2 a litre.

&#96;&#96;You're living in a fool's paradise if you think you're just weathering a storm and everything will go back to normal,'' Mr Bowden said. &#96;&#96;It's going to continue to go up in the years ahead.

&#96;&#96;Two dollars a litre is quite possible. It's not that long ago that petrol was 70 a litre and now it's doubled. With a diminishing supply what's to stop it doubling again?"

NRMA president Alan Evans agreed prices could be expected to rise to more than $1.40 by Anzac Day. He predicted the $1.40 a litre mark would prove to be &#96;&#96;psychological barrier" for drivers of large cars.

Vic Karekin, manager of Beacon Hill Service Station, said the only way to keep petrol prices down was for government to turn its tax take into a subsidy.

8O 8O 8O

ouch - $2/L

Stop quoting that tool squeezer, he gets off on it.

I don't think we have anything to worry about...doesn't hurt to be vigilant, but
I don't lose any sleep over it. They tried to ban cars once too.

I wouldn't complain to the broadcasting corp. either....wasting your time, besides, I'd rather have the stigma of being a Cityliving 4WD owner AND see 4WD's banned.....than admit I watch All Saints - or it was on in my house

:roll: :roll:
Yep good old 4by bashing its like the idea of speed limiting everything to 110kmh. Great for overtaking. Though it will slow the hoons on the freeway but not in the school zones. Bet you NT people would love this move.
