I try not to carry too much heavy cable around, but everytime I decide to ditch some 'unnecessary' heavy tools then sods law says I need them by the afternoon. Rarely do I fill more than half, it's just a pointless lugging of extra weight - there's enough garages around!

Plus I've probably saved a polar bear due to my reduced carbon footprint!

Fortunately my accountant is male, and most of HMRC's inspectors are too. So the bike and everything to do with it are deductable

If you had a female accountant she would recommend you get a sensible bike, like a Honda Cub 90

OI I'VE GOT A C90 AND ITS THE BEST BIKE IN THE WORLD EVER!!!!! JUST LOOK AT THE SALES FIGURES!!!!!! And it does over 100mpg even when the throttle is pinned a hundred percent of the time!!! I ride it like I stole it!

And I use it to do quote work because it stops people from saying, "oh while you're here could you just".

Everyone who drives needs to support the fair fuel campaign and try and get the tax reduced.

You see Imago....If you really cared about Polar bears, you would ditch that 1100 and get a cub
