We need a greenbelt so we can see orions belt!

Since moving to my new home in leicester i discovered that we have to pay a charge to the crownies who are supposed to maintain the greenbelt. They call it the maintanance for lanscaping and maintaining the area. £112 bloody quid per 'period'! Whats that, when the Managing Directors wife starts her menstrual cycle he says RIGHT! time to send out the bills for £112 now. Its ridiculous and for what, all ive seen the amatuer garders do is cut the grass around the area and im not talkin peoples lawns either! I thought council tax paid for that, well it did in manchester! For £112 i'd expect em to cut the front and back lawn and trim the hedge!
Greenbelt-thats exactly wat it is (£) GR££N (£).


Infact the guy who sold us our house-a Bellway crownie made it sound like they were gonna take care of the hedge aswell seen as bellway planted it and we are required by law to keep it there at least for a few years (in others words until its grown and established and becomes too much hasle to uproot from the ground). All in the name of the environment eh! Well if the governement cares so much for the environment and for this country they would put less into there salary and more into the actual running of the country and keeping it clean. A real politian would be a poor one thats what i say. I mean really does prescott need two Jags(the two shags is another story)? 1 would suffice, he doesn't need to start a fleet.
Even if Blair hadn't held Bush's hand half way to WWIII we would have enough money not to charge another tax for 'taking care of the environment'.

I'm glad that you're talking about both John Prescott and the Green Belt because while I was researching my newest blog post, I came across a rather amusing quote from the fella:

"The Green Belt is a Labour achievement - and we mean to build on it!"

But what do you expect about the charges when you move to a posh area?! That's the price for climbing up the class ladder!

You almost sound like my grandma with your ranting there but its all in the name of a better world so I can't complain; besides it'd be hypocritical!

Thanks for modelling your blog on mine as well! Well not really but you've got the same template and buttons at the bottom.

Surely you're not so money motivated that its the picture you most want people to associate with your name?

Anyway all in all its a great blog you've got here; feel free to check out my new post at will:

HAHA really thats a good quote i shud put it in my post, i didnt really move to a posh area its just a new estate infact my bedroom is smaller than my old one! But the estate it on the edge of the countryside so i guess bellway bought greenbelt land.

No im not money motivated but money is something im confused and the world is confused about, think if money didn't exist-we'd probably barter but even if we din't have that think if everyone just got everything for free and things wer'nt worth anything to anybody? hmmm....
