W...Thanks for the link.<br />Hadn't tried it before.<br />Whaddya know, my score (3 down, 4 to the left) is pretty close to yours (2 down, 4 to the left).<br /><br />Brave of you to support the Poll tax. I'll put my head above the parapet and say the old rates system had something to be said for it. (It was allowed to fall into disrepair, perhaps deliberately to pave the way for its successor).<br />The merit of the rates system is that it recognises the way local government expenditure enhances the local community.<br />Or not.<br />If it does, house prices go up;<br />if not, house prices go down.<br />(All else equal, obviously).<br /><br />The rating system is still the way that businesses pay their dues to the local public purse.<br /><br />Do you have a preferable alternative to that?Hamishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07401451754373118599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-67368607134379212792010-05-23T09:24:56.400+01:002010-05-23T09:24:56.400+01:00Michael, the Greens would leave us living like the...Michael, the Greens would leave us living like the Amish and signed up to every UN 'initiative' designed to suck funds out of the country for international environmental propaganda.Stewart Cowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14438121139084279087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-90087371320804371272010-05-23T02:21:28.536+01:002010-05-23T02:21:28.536+01:00Could well be DL.
