What do you do when - as has happened to people I know - someone has bought a house within walking distance of their place of work, then the Government builds a new workplace under PFI which is no longer within walking distance (but, cleverly, too close for them to be eligible for relocation). So as well as their daily costs going up, and them having to spend more time "at" work, you'd have them taxed into the bargain? -- On-line canal route planner: http://www.canalplan.org.uk (Waterways World site of the month, April 2001) My Reply-To address *is* valid, though likely to die soon
