"a place where everyone matters" <br /><br />also reminds me of an old army sergeant advising on the gentle art of lovemaking- "if it moves hump it. If its still, hump it till it moves".<br /><br />VD and humping aside, there is a serious question about Paul Rowen's activities as Chair of the Parliamentary Light Rail Group and new columnist for Transport Matters magazine...<br /><br />Is any cash being handed over or declared for Paul's 'work'?<br /><br />Where does Paul get his inspiraction from for his opinions on transport? Lobbyists? Industry? Policy bods? Officers? <br /><br />Keep your all receipts Paul.Pox Doctornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38067964.post-37022211835410176682009-05-25T14:12:56.546+01:002009-05-25T14:12:56.546+01:00Was the post actually from Paul Rowen.
