The petition doesn't seem to be working. http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/frown.gif

Too many hits I guess http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif. Government won't know what hit 'em.

Mojo

I'll be signing when I can get on.

Mike

Right, everyone is really P155ED OFF about the price of fuel due to the ridiculous tax level on it aren't they?

Well a good friend of mine has set up a website that you can download letters from to send to your MP about how unfairly treated the British motorist is.

The most important thing however is to sign the electronic petition so that we can hopefully collect enough names to take to the Government.

Everyone moans but now's your chance to do something it'll only take a couple minutes and a few clicks. So please go have a look and sign the petition if nothing else.

The message board and voting system don't function yet but should be working by the end of the day, Chris is working on it at the moment.

Please tell as many people about this site as possible so we can get as many names as possible

Go to:

Tell yer mate thumbs up !

and if he wants any help with any web stuff or graphics, hosting etc drop me a line info@simply-webdesign.com (obviously for free)

its about time we did something, if we can get traffic/petitions through the site we can get media coverage which will obviously increase traffic further.

good job.

Top Stuff

I've signed up (took about 30 seconds)

Reckon you should get a lot of support from the guys and girls on this board.

About time we tried to do something.

Chris

Thanks for the vote of support Lee. Chris has worked damn hard on the site and has even taken a weeks holiday this week to get the site up and running.

It came about when we both became absolutely sick of paying so much in tax to the government in fuel duties. Chris's Scoob and my Golf must fund the military or something, the amount of fuel we put in them http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/mad.gif

I will get him to get in touch with you ASAP

Mmmmmmm http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/frown.gif

Don't know whats up but it's probably the host hopefully it's due to the amount of hits's the site's been getting http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif. Please do keep trying it will be worth it in the end.

Many thanks to everyone who has signed the petition and to everyone who has tried and couldn't please keep trying you are supporting a worthy cause http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif

Seems to be working now. http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

Weaver, you will be glad to know the error was indeed due to high levels of server hits.

About time the Gov. were made to take notice.

Mojo

Seems to be working fine now

Chris

Weaver,

I've signed and put my address, but others in the office didn't fancy putting there address, so haven't signed - is it possible to have the address as optional?

Tiggaaar,

I don't know. I will ask Chris tonight as he is the man for the web stuff. It sounds like a good idea though and I can't see why it shouldn't be possible. I'll see if he can change tonight.

Thanks

Weav'

We can all e-mail our MPs, addresses can be found at:

Good idea. Every driver owes it to us all to sign this. Only 72 names on it at the mo, surely it must need 1000's, where else will it be distributed? It crossed my mind that this was a hoax - I'm a bit paranoid with computers that every one else knows more than I do. Still, I suppose name and address can't do any harm given the amount of junk mail I seem to get anyway.

Nice one

I can assure you it's not a hoax and we <B>WILL NOT</B> be distrubuting any names and addresses for junk mail/spamming all information is <B>TOTALLY</B> confidential. This is serious and we ant to make a good go of it. It may take a few months or even a year but in the end we hopefully can get enough names to take to the Government.

Thanks for leaving your name http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif

Has anyone sent this out to other drivers clubs, such as rs, ferrari, porsche, bmw?

Lots of communities who would be enthusistic.

Apparently trev mcdonald is hosting a show tonight on this topic.

Have started my own sent the link to my friends and it appears to have spread through my tree alone to over 500 people in about two hours.

With any luck.......

you can count me in. £4 a gallon is too much, and the stupid politicians talk about rip-off britain. So why can't they see the connection between distribution and fuel costs? Mind you the truckers got short shrift

have added name to petition!
lets hope everybody on this BB signs up!!
pete

I have also signed.

Seemed strange that they never asked for your post code?

mb

I'm definitely signing.

Nearly 90% of the price of petrol is tax!
Complete f***ing rip-off.
Excuse my language, but this issue really annoys me.

D.

hi everyone,
I'm the chap who developed the Lower Fuel Tax website and I'm impressed and grateful to everyones response!
Nobody needs to worry about their info being used to spam, the point of the site is non-profit orientated, besides it's against the data protection act without the express permission of the person signing it!
The address, county and town are all required so that when the petition is (eventually) handed to the government, they can verify that the people in the list actually exist on the appropriate electoral registers. Otherwise, I could create a list of thousands of names I just dreamed up.

Hope that's cleared a few things up! Keep up the good work and thanks for your responses

Thanks to everyone who has signed the petition already. Chris has also fixed the voting and is working on the message board.
Keep passing the address around to your friends and colleages we need as many names as poss if we are to make a difference.

Thanks again for all your support and votes of confidence http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif

Mul,

May be worth you popping that note re addresses on the website to reassure those who aren't reading this thread.

Thanks

David
