Caned by the government

A couple of nights ago I was getting ready for an early-morning flight*, and I had a Sky News review programme on in the background.

They were talking about the following day’s papers, and one of the pundits – somebody called Michael Brown – was highly indignant about a new system of road tax. He was really not liking it.

“The government is going to wallop the new car owners! They are going to get caned! Really caned. They are getting smacked with this tax.”

This is nearly verbatim – they talked about this issue for about twenty minutes, and the guy brought the caning into it every time it was his turn to speak.

My thoughts sort of drifted, and I imagined being able to get a caning instead of paying road tax. I would probably do it, thought it would depend on the rates.

I wonder, where would you go to pay your caning tax? In the Post Office maybe, like with the current tax disc?

    As a kinky person, staying with parents has its ‘Oh My God!’ moments.

    Recently I was staying overnight with my Mum, and she was chatting away as I looked up my email. There was a particularly kinky email messag there telling me that I’d been naughty and was going to pay big time.

    If she noticed the ‘Oh my God!’ expression that must surely have registered on my face, she didn’t say.

    At least you get to leave! Not that I don’t love my family to pieces, but living with them does make anything spanking-related kinda tricky.

    On the subject of cars, I was stuck in traffic yesterday, and the van in front of me was from a company that seemed to be called Abel Alarms… I thought to myself “Yup, with some of the things he comes out with on here, he really does!!”
