It allows taxis to get from Heathrow to the Chiswick flyover a little
more quickly, whereupon they join the rest of the traffic.

Helps Bliar get home quicker when everyone else is sitting in traffic as
well.


If I want to go from Heathrow to Central London, then I will use the
Heathrow Express followed by a taxi. That typically results in the
fastest journey to an end point in Central London without having to
use the Electric Toilet.

The bus lane on the M4 as well as the one on the spur road into the
central area terminals are completely worthless and simply make
matters worse.


Sounds quite appropriate that it was down to Prescott really!

Not sure where he's from (North Wales ?), but he isn't from the hallowed
land.

Prescot has done a great job. He gets things done.

..but the wrong things.

You are making things up. Name us one?

His bus lane on the M4 for example

Great idea fro buses and taxis.


No it isn't.

Yep. That was the idea.

Pathetic!!!

Part P, HIP, 63+ houses per acre? Oh that's alright then.

Most think it is.

It is. And his accent. You a pathetic Little Middle Englander. A sycophant

Yep. A good idea. The problem was that the Underground link made it
redundant.

Prescott a Yorkshireman. Don't be silly. Dribble is just confusing the
issue with his "northern accent". Prescott is Welsh - born in Prestatyn
and educated (after he failed the 11+) at Ellesmere Port SM (Cheshire).

He did 10 years as a steward in the merchant navy according to his biog.
According to someone I met recently he was a shop steward at (or
possibly sailing out of) Parkeston Quay (Harwich) so must have been a
near neighbour of mine when I was a lad. IIRC the North Sea ferries had
at least 3 separate crews at that time so he would have had plenty of
spare time to cause trouble even then.

And all this is to discredit him. The good old petty snobbery Brits. Oh he
didn't come from a family with money so can't have brains. How pathetic.
BTW, he also spent time at a snot uni called Oxford.

Goes to show how pathetic the 11 plus is then. And this abomination is still
going!!!! Prescot gained a degree in economics and economic history and
attended Ruskin College, Oxford and the University of Hull.

I don't think that his bio discredits him... do you?

The fact that he is an obnoxious git on the other hand does.

The good old petty snobbery Brits.

Like as demonstrated by John "concrete over the south east" Prescott -
yes I am with you on that one.

He is not obnoxious at all, he just doesn't have the accent you like or
aspire to because it is a north of England accent, or an accent you
sycophantically look up to when you hear it. He is very good at his job and
doesn't take any crap of permanent civil servant with silly arrrrcccents.

The good old petty snobbery Brits.

Like as demonstrated by John "concrete over the south east" Prescott - yes
I am with you on that one.

Concrete over the south east? The Home Counties are under populated. The
south each as whole only has about 7.7% of the land settled. Prescot said
build high density which you should like. You appear to want open fields
doing nothing and paid to be doing nothing by our taxpayers money, making
rich people even richer. That is what you have. So, you should be
delighted.

Doctor Drivel wrote:

You obviously have a bit of hang up about accents. Do people still tease
you about yours?

I actually rather like many of our regional accents, and they never
bother me as long as the speaker remains intelligible. Intelligibility
however is something that Prescott lacks in spades - not due to his
accent - but due to the steam of incomprehensible babble that spews from
him.

In fact the only other person I can think of who regularly speaks so
much incomprehensible clap trap, is you. Perhaps that is why you are
such a fan - he speaks your language?

He is very good at his job

= an embarrassment

Still compared to some of the other deadwood we have in cabinet
positions he is not alone there.

Prescot said build high density which you should like.

Not a fan of slums in waiting, so no. It seems few people want to live
in the "affordable" (i.e. overcrowded rabbit hutch) housing he seems so
keen to build, and no one is going to be able to sustain any quality of
life in these houses unless he is also prepared to build the
infrastructure required to support all these extra people.

You appear to
want open fields doing nothing and paid to be doing nothing by our
taxpayers money, making rich people even richer. That is what you have.

Did Prescott say that? Sounds like his sort of clap trap.

in the slow lane where buses get overtaken by the cars they passed out
before. Figures for improvement here have been fiddled by speed limit
changes. The elevated section takes care of any gains by taxis in the
taxi lane ("bus lane" is a bit of a misnomer).

What is noticeable is how that lane is not covered by the 4 speed
cameras. Everything on it whizzes by well above the 60/40 limit the
other lanes have imposed by the yellow boxes.

The bus lane on the M4 as well as the one on the spur road into the
central area terminals are completely worthless and simply make
matters worse.
But look at what profits the M4 spur camera must make scalping
tourists on the home run to the rental returns!

Your pseudo pretentious Essex Chavness is getting the best of you.

The country has one, as they judge people by their accents, particularly in
the pretentious south. And you have thing about it.

I sound like James Bond.

Quaint aren't they? Bult you still look down on them, and have one of those
accents on a man in charge of the country or in charge of southerners? My,
oh, my.

As long as they don't tell you what to do.

That rules Essex out then.

Well you are from Essex.
