Funny enough I've had a Renault traffic van for the last 14 years, never previously had much issue with them. Bought another new one in May 2012, in October last year the gearbox was replaced, in March of this year it was replaced again. It has done 25,008 miles on both occasions it was covered under the warranty agreement (4 years / 100,000 miles) when I went to pick the van up again the Renault dealership said the van was not designed to carry tradesmen's tools and would no longer cover the vehicle under the warranty agreement..... Not my problem I told him, the vehicle belongs to Renault finance which the business has a hire purchase agreement with, so he would have to take it up with them.... I think they think we're all mugs....

And are any of us any better off? Any more Police officers pounding the streets? Nurses? Teachers? Schools? Hospitals? No I didn't think so, so my question would be what is happening to the £23.9bn?

Well, now that the results are in, it seems the media / press are treating Nigel Farage completely different than the way they were prior to the elections, now you'd think that the second coming was about to happen. This must be the biggest wake up call ever for those working in Westminster, I think next years general election is going to be interesting, with the likelyhood of another hung Parliament, not that I'm in favour of join Governments.

To watch the main three parties on television all claiming to have learned their lessons and are now only too eager to listen to the populations concerns over Europe is cringeworthy to say the least, especially when they've had over 30 odd years to listen. Those politicians claiming it was just a protest vote, simply do not deserve to be in power as obviously they do not understand. Listening to LBC radio the other day, a listener made a very good point about the referendum, in that this country never had a referendum to be ruled by Brussels and the rest of Europe, so we don't need one to be taken out. As far as I can see any threat of loss of jobs / business by coming out are just rubbish and scaremongering.

I'll be watching the paint dry

It all depends whether the animal knows the Highway Code, if they don't know I swerve, if they do I just sound my horn and give a hand gesture 

I passed quite a few polling stations driving around London today, all seemed to very busy and bustling with people, so I think the turn out of voters is going to be fairly high...

I think my top tip would be to avoid either having credit accounts or offering to your clients credit accounts. I got into a huge mess and debt, I had 2 or 3 constant late payers, I still had to pay my suppliers on time £10k -£20k a month with next to nothing in the bank. Found myself spending to much time chasing debtors, once I insisted everyone pays at the time any work is carried out, got shot of my credit accounts with merchants, I found both cash flow and profits were up and I would never go back to credit.

I'm not to sure whether it makes much difference if UKIP has one or fifty different policies. All I know is, is that the other three political parties have all gone to the electorate previously with different manifestos and said "vote for us" only to have any promises made pre-election totally ripped up once they are in office. I think come Friday there will be certain bruised politicians fronting the television cameras, claiming to have learned their lesson for not listening...

I would say it varies between 70 and 90...... On the minimum wage too...

You can only blame the three main political party's sheer ignorance of the electorate, for the rise and current success of UKIP. This is not the country that I and others grew up in, neither is it the country that our grandparents went to war for with many losing their lives. For me it is nothing to do with the current migration issues, if it were I wouldn't be living in London, not only that most if not all of us are descended from migrants one way or another.

The main issue for me and probably for many others, is that the British public has only ever been allowed to vote once over Europe and that was whether or not to join the Common market, the idea being that we could trade on a level footing with everyone else in Europe. That was it, there was no mention in the manifesto that over the next 40 odd years we'd be sending millions of pounds to Brussels just to be a member state, there was no mention that gradually our legal system would be overridden by the EU. To be honest, the biggest wake up call should have been prior to the Common Market vote, when the UK lost its currency and changed to decimalisation, changed its weights and measures and went from pound to kilo.

From what I can see, theses three main political party's biggest issue is that they fail to understand, that they are elected to represent those who vote for them. There is no big differences in any of the party's ideology, the only difference is on how and on what they spend tax payers money. I'm not a particular Nigel Farage fan, but you cannot help but think that he actually does represent the silent majority or this country. He's being hammered this week over a comment he made on LBC radio about not wanting to have Romanians living next door, and all of a sudden he is now being classed as being racist by the other three parties. If were all honest, if your white working or middle class, if the local school has 500 children and 450 of them are of African descent, are you really going to want to send your children there? If you say no, does that make you a racist? We all say and and think things, that today are not politically PC, whereas in a previous life we could all say or do without fear of classed as being racist.

Nigel Farage and UKIP will do well on Thursday I'm sure and the other three are scared witless about him. The days of voting for a political party for no other reason than because our predecessors did are now beginning to go. Thankfully people are now starting to think for themselves....
