Ouch!A friend was once given a biopsy by a sleep-deprived junior doctor.
They needed a sample of his colon, so inserted the long bendy jaws-on-the-end thingy, located the suspect area and... he shot through the ceiling. Doctor had forgotten to administer any anaesthetic.
What was your ouchiest moment?

Horse tax, anyone?
Anyway. The public highways are exactly that - highways, for the use of the public, which - other than the odd turnpike here and there - have historically not incurred a direct cost for users. On my mountain bike, I do not require the modifications to the public highways which are demanded by cars - I can live without all your newfangled fancy tarmacadamised surfacing and whatnot. Car users are paying extra due to the significant cost of rendering public highways - free for other forms of transport, which have every right to use them - suitable for their transit. And because it's a fantastic source of revenue for central government.
