Here’s something that could be helped by just a few clicks of a mouse button -
The RNLI lifeboats have been exempt from VAT on the fuel they use since 1977 and a government petition has been set up to do the same for Air Ambulances
‘The Air Ambulance Service have saved successive governments millions and millions of pounds funded by charitable donations given by the general public to run what has proven to be an essential service.’
The petition -
http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/29349usual thing if 100,000 signatures are gained Parliament is duty bound to debate the issue
a quick look at the fact page should remind you of the service’s value -

They begin as grapes, and it's up to women to stomp the sh * t out of them until they turn into something acceptable to have dinner with.

only another 929 needed

Dave
Just the one now, but this one's mine! - and it will be finished eventually..... - but also temporary custodian of a project until it is finished enough for Angie to drive it
...oh, and a 2006 Freelander destined for the jungles of The Gambia - 4500 miles across roads, desert and tracks - what could possibly go wrong?
