Good point.
Electric cars are great for cities/towns but if i had one i would need to charge it every day just to get me to work and back then any running about i needed to do after work, as i live on a terraced street i would have no means of charging it so they are of no use to me even if i could afford one.
What happens when the batteries are no longer holding a charge?

Wonder if they'll ever invent a wind up car like a wind up torch? You'd probably need arms like popeye though to get anywhere :lol:

Landlord.
There is a University department somewhere that sifts through a list of numbers and then arbitrarily decides what everyday activity they will apply this to;
10 - Hm thats sounds like the number of fruit and veg to eat in a day.
73 - ah that's the amount of money in pounds a jobless person just can't manage on each week.
80,000 - oh that one is easy, a University arbitrary numerical limit application specialist salary , tax free of course with perks!
0 - the number of Government advisory limits based on science that people actually regard as meaningfull and actually follow.
Don't give the buggers ideas - we'll have wind turbines on top of our motors before you know it.

I'm going to ask them to invent a windmill you can stick on the top of your car, especially for you
:lol:
Assuming that the government will give 100% of the market value as of 31st December 2016 (a "We wish!" if ever there was one :lol:) I will fully support any scheme that starts with diesel engined vehicles that are:
o Older than 18 years.
o Weigh more than 700kg.
o Over the 100,000 miles mark.
o Not fitted with a Catalytic Converter.
"Support such a Scheme?" I would be first in line to collect my cheque ... :thumb:
... which is why I'm not holding my breath in anticipation!
PS
I've already started on my "Five a Day" but I'm not sure that I could drink ten of them every day! :whistle:

And all this from a government that is about to cut assistance even more to the poorest and most vulnerable in our society.

Ah, well. They don't vote conservative so they don't matter of course

Yes I think you may be right there. Obviously we should pollute as little as possible, I'm sure we can all agree on that, but we should, as a society, get our priorities right.
Green stuff should not be eaten :lol: , green plants are there as the lungs of the planet, as for climate change it's always happening.
we can't keep extracting (beer pun intended) stuff out of the planet indefinitely.
I think until the earth's resources are almost depleted and then there'll be wars over what little stuff is left, we won't change. :-( in the meantime, i'm avoiding spouts, cabbage etc and trying to do as little harm to the planet as poss.
***NEWSFLASH*** - As i was typing this I just thought ... all the co2 from my FV would really help plants to grow... :hmm: what can I use that for?
Oh dear! :nono: :nono: :nono:
Am I the only one that remembers The Bitch saying "There is no such thing as society." as she sold off all the essential services that socially aware people had brought under public control two generations before she was even born?
All I can say (and some people may remember why) is "Ding dong!" ... :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:
... and it has nothing to do with Leslie Phillips! :whistle:
Is it Avon calling? :-?

Try "The Wizard of Oz"! :mrgreen:
In all seriousness, I'm amazed that the climate-change contingent haven't yet protested about the vast volumes of CO2 produced worlwide from fermented beverages. Maybe they should discuss this problem over a craft beer or two. They're gullible like that, y'know.
