Little awkward for me :lol: Weld spatter on the new carpet wouldnt go down well :lol:
Seriously though I work 14 miles from home, I go 1 junction up the motorway (M1, J28-29) and into Hillstown/Bolsover. I normally go in the Corsa which means I use 2/3 gallon petrol, £2 in tax? Car is taxed £60 for 6 months etc If I went in RR it would be 2 gal £6 tax? per day. £95 for 6 months. Would every car be graded like this?
What about the foreign visitors? we pay tolls when we are abroad, how will they pay?? Lorries are registered in Holland to avoid road tax now, then fill up with cheaper fuel and come back with large second tank to keep them going till they can fill up in Holland again :?
If the lorries have to pay then as a consumer we will pay again to compensate the transport co.
It to me seems far too complicated to impose

There are serious constraints with home working which aren't all as clear cut as you may think.
Assuming you can implicitly trust all your staff to be working (a tall order in some cases) and that your staff are able to work from home in the first place, then there is an issue with communication. We've experimented with home workers and we abandoned the idea of perminent home workers, it was difficult to keep tracks on exactly what they were doing, their hours tended to stray (with one guy essentially only working at night) and there were simply times when talking to them would have been far quicker and easier [1].
[1] yes, phones, I know .. but if you want to draw a picture then that's a bit harder...

flexy time at work places would help.
definately change school opening and closing times.
i live between 2 schools and the road outside my house comes to a standstill at school times.
parents park anywhere and narrow the road down to 1 lane that lorrys have dificulty squesing through.
