this poll raises another question for me= at what age should people get a vote:rolleyes:

Re: Clarkson for PM?

I have the right to vote now, but i choose not too as i dont believe i have enough knowledge of politics to make a decision like that. One of my friends (same age as me 20), has voted everytime he could, but only votes for the person with the funniest name.

I think along with the vote there should be a basic iq test, if you fail you cant vote.

the chances are the higher your IQ, the more sense youve got not to vote, as its all false promises

not a viable way, so i think the age of voting should be looked at, the exeptions i would make to that would be the "armed forces".

Nothing.

But it gives us a superiority complex.:D

All education is wasted on those unfortunate enough to be born on the eastern side of the Pennines.

Found this, which is quite funny.

As A Dodo: Jeremy Clarkson 1960-2006

For all the people that've voted for him, don't forget he's a die hard Tory, and he'd have most of you doing National Service or sweeping the streets before you can say stone washed denim.:D

Do you really think he gives a toss about 500 quid? He gets 1.6 million off the BBC per series of topgear. And personally i think he as proven what he said was right. he gave out his details and only one person did that? One person out of how many readers?

Re: Clarkson for PM?

Notice tho he hasnt said if he's cancelled the direct debit or not.

Wonder what will happen will the charity give it back and will he carry on with the direct debit?

I don't understand this because every time you write a cheque you are giving people that information. In order to set up a DD surely they needed his password to do it online or to sign in his name to do it in branch. If they did the latter then the bank is at fault because the signature is forgery. If they did the former then they knew more than the info he provided.

And as for not revealing who did it due to the data protection act that's barmy. It's fraud for goodness sakes. The criminal shouldn't be protected, the customer should.

There has been movement in how you can set up DD's recently. Because the DD guarantee gives you the right to full refund in event of false or incorrect payments Banks as a whole have started accepting DDs without signature. IMHO I think its wrong but unless we all start complaining it won't be changed.

It can make it easier when say setting up a regular payment for say car insurance but I think it should at very least come with some form of identified payment ( signature, PIN entry or Card security, although I don't like this last one myself [1] )

Still As Willow says this info is not hard to get hold of.

[1] So we are told 4 digits are required for security of a pin but suddenly 3 digits are OK for card security???? :confused:

08-01-2008 11:19

Re: Clarkson for PM?

But again Ian every time you buy something over the phone and are asked for those 3 numbers that's the security of it immediately gone because the person you speak to now knows as much as you do.

I wonder how many people realise how easy it is to forge a cheque too because the signatures are never verified.

Re: Clarkson for PM?

I noticed. As a member of the PCC for Baxenden we struggle to get best deals due to teh bank account we have only having a cheque book, when asked teh Bank won't allow a debit card on that type of account so it looks like we are down to cash only
