Perforations

[Pastis]

Well, I've done it again. I called into the local PO and bought the Road Tax. Every time I do this I'm reminded what a fiddling, piddling job it is to remove the disc from its perforations. I think I must have tried every trick in the book; tearing it quickly which usually results in a torn disc, tearing it slowly - perforation by perforation which is too much for anyone's patience, tearing it in one direction and then the other - torn disc again 

It seems to have been produced like this since 1938  with a break of ten years ('42 - '52), reason unknown.

In the last 73 years practically every aspect of communication has changed beyond recognition and yet vehicle owners are still required to tear off a lickle piece of paper (poorly) and fix it to their windscreen. There must be a better, simpler way to do this and get rid of the effing perforations

there is an answer.....put 1p on a litre of fuel, that way everybody pays according to the mileage they do. The more they use the roads, the more they pay. Simple but effective.

Pastis. Get. Out. More.

Buy on-line here and print it out at home...

Used to cut it out with scissors but now it is illegal to display in in the windscreen so just dump the A4 sheet in the glovebox... Simples.

BTW who ever keeps gloves in there...?

Illegal to display?

Illegal to display?

I know... bizarre isn't it...?

You used to have to display your tax disc and your MOT disc (same format) but they changed it...

As far as I'm aware there isn't any other European country that has the same rules....

The perforations on vinegar/mayonnaise sachets is a nightmare. I usually end up doing it with my teeth and splattering it all over myself.

In the boot of the car is a mini mobility scooter. Assembly takes some 30 seconds. Now if you have ever ridden one you would know that your hands get bloody cold so I keep a pair of leather gloves in the car (glove box) which I use when riding on the scooter. Seemples really!

[Nick]

Why not glue them to the scooter?

[Snoopy]

'Cos if it is a nice, warm, sunny day I don't need them.

You just need to tickle and soften them with a flame like 

I thought this was about the lunch I bought you when you set fire to all that mayonnaise, like 

You see. this is EXACTLY what gets right upon my tits with you, yes YOU!
Total and utter exageration of the real story.

I DID NOT set fire to the mayonaise at all, DID I?
NO, and you know it.

I merely 'helped' myself to gain entry into the sachet contents, by 'tickling' and 'softening' the leading edge of said sachet with the aid of a flame, that is all, ok? 

As for the meal being free, I actually had to pay, by virtue of the fact that I had to actually be there with you to eat it.

Next?
