The Norwegian government is very poor. They don’t have any money for the health system, updating the schools, repairing the roads or helping all the immigrants have nice cosy homes etc.
SO - the best way to get some cash to pay for some of this is to squeeeeeze the motorists who are not supposed to have any fun driving their cars, and are anyway polluting the atmosphere which is melting the polar ice and we will all drown one day

Yes I wonder sometimes if they would prefer us to use sledges pulled by reindeer (more reindeer than horses here), then when they keel over we can eat them (saves on having chicken farms).

As for the price of a chicken CG - well about £4-5 for ready to eat roasted broiler or for a pair of fresh breasts about £6 , but then food is relatively cheaper here as is has a lower tax than cars but only if you eat it at home - eat out and you need to take out an extra mortgage

Come to Belgium! Cheapest one is 32.100 euros, most expensive (i6 HSE) is 48.100 euros.
Apart from cheap cars (and diesel), we have good food (mussels and french fries), bad weather and lots of Japanese tourists.
And lots of Dutch tourists with caravans passing on their way to France or Spain.
And it seems we now have a government. Hell, that could mean the end of cheap diesel

I've been to Belguim, twice it rained both times, nice country though, excellent beer,choc,moules and frites. At work

You will several bricks when you read this Nick:
Just read that the price of a Toyota Landcruiser has just gone up to £108406,- (no lie) the price has been increased by nearly 40% due to inflation
And I thought cars were expensive in Norway  2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.
