I can relate to this incident, many years ago I was sitting in my car waiting to collect my 2 kids from school , I was parked quite legally not blocking any dropped kerbs or entrances, a man came out of his house & demanded I move my car as his son was due home, I refused & pointed to my tax disc which as far as I was concerned gave me the right to use & park my vehicle wherever it was legal to do so people don't  own the road outside their property so I'm afraid that you should remember that in future

I agree mate but,but using a hammer is threading behaver,Dean.

Yes, but how would you like it if you were in your 70s and some bullying rsol came along and verbally abused you.  Thats also threatening behaviour mate, and I suggest you wind it in and get on an Anger Management course.  Bet you would have kept your mouth shut if there were two big younger guys in the other car.  Nobody likes a bully!
I understand you are now worried about the guy with the hammer - poetic justice, serves you right.  He probably only picked the hammer up due to your threatening attitude towards his visitors.

Without commenting on the topic itself - dbug, have you been drinking? I have never seen you so confrontational before

Not if the wound is still open, Sir Tigger, and his successors are continuing the rip-off!
STEMO, after they have launched several squadrons of pigs we might get all monies returned to the purpose collected for, but those proposed changes won'n increase inflation at all, will they?

I would give it a couple of days, and go and apologise... at the end of the day, you were out of order in your original confrontation... escalating to a hammer was, whilst not something a reasonable person might anticipate, clearly an effective end to the matter...

Not since Gixer left, anyway.

Does beg the question why someone keeps a hammer by the front door though. 

Might have been mending the door.

Might have been expecting the usual snotty nosed little darling Trick or Treaters round.

Hmmm, maybe now is a great time to get a chainsaw

Everyone who pays tax contributes to the roads whether you own a car or not.  There are cars which don't pay VED.  Their upkeep.is paid through general taxation, like it or lump it thats the way it is.

VED(or whatever it was originally called) was NEVER just used for the roads. Government accounting just doesn't work like that; they spend whatever money they have/borrowed wherever it needs to go. The government at the time simply saw the increasing number of cars on the roads as another source of revenue.

Lidl has them for £50 currently.

Electric, though, so can't chase them far up the road.
