I was never happy with fewer than two engines. I also don't know of any gliding clubs that fly from airports, rather than airfields, which would make international travel a bit problematic.

Was some huge Barnsley oaf on your tail? I know they take a dim view of how's your father in Barnsley.
Bill
Silly answer.
No, that allowance would be given to everybody. So those people I mention above would be discriminated against when their extra needs took them over the threshold. Or alternatively, they would be discriminated against because they would have to economise in other uses of electricity to allow for their special needs.
So absolutely no vehicles on the road then, except electric? Would you tax gas at that rate, as used for domestic cooking and heating?
Bill
Don't be so objectionable. You really do spoil the tone of our discussions sometimes with your churlish interjections. As it happens I don't live in a town, but that's irrelevant to my point. I'm speaking for others. That's what some of us do.
Bill
Have you seen the speed limit on the A4?
Bugger that!. I get that sometimes and when it starts its away in just a few minutes and the itching!! thats like nothing on earth, usually a half a packet of Piriton nowadays is needed to stop it!.
Sure hate to be stuck in traffic without a pack of them onboard!...
Agreed, like my job. But then I don't think Harry has a television but the same applies to a fair bit of radio output as well.
There are a few broadcast camera and sound people in the Newcastle area but no where near enough to crew the test match at Chester-le-Street. And TBH I doubt many of the local camera operators have that much cricket experience. It's not easy following the action at the tight end of a big zoom lens when the angle of view is less than half the width of your little finger at arms length.
I've found that a diphenhydramine gel or spray, can help make it more bearable.
In summer that is about 15 days average use. In winter about 4 days. It's only 40 odd days at our the minimum overnight load of 300W.
Is 20 kWHr/day (excluding space heating) excessive? We have no gas.
I tend to need a wee before then, depending on how much coffee was consumed before leaving...
I let them have that, squished bladder then some little bleeder kicks it...
Try not to be so hysterically ludicrous. The categories you mentioned are rationed by electricity price already and there's no evidence that they use more electricity than average.
No I'd just tax stupidity. Your bill would be enormous.
It's the time of the month dear.
The categories you mentioned are
Obviously if someone has extra reasons to use electric they will tend to use more.
That's a pathetic ad hominem attack that reveals your inability to sustain further argument.
Incidentally your willingness to tax everything is a symptom of a sickness called socialism.
Bill
There's always going to be larger trucks. They would be hard to electricfy. I think more stuff would be carried by train & locally transshipped.
Maybe even canals would be used more.
Probably cars would be only for the wealthy. It's hard to see how millions of cars could be near simultaneously charged.
Quality of life is going to fall, too many people about and the era of cheap fossil fuel is almost over.. Already happening when you think about it.
I thought the discussion was how the revenue raised at the moment by petrol and diesel taxes would be *replaced* if and when electric cars become the norm.

Perhaps you can show where I have proposed taxing *everything*?
And then you can reflect on your stupidity in making such a claim.
cars per se are not essential. But people who transport the food you eat into the towns you live in, that no longer have railways near them - and that's quite a lot - are. Also are the people who take te goods from the putative railways and get them to your local shops and even your door.
Likewise the man who drives up an a van full of bits to fix the water/electricity/sewage/gas/ whatever that you need to stay alive.
Without motorised transport, the half life of a modern city is about 4 days: In a month most people would simply be dead. And the rest would be cannibals.
Its quite extraordinary how narrow peoples views are. They think only of themselves, their car, their workplace..and utterly ignore the fact that all of these things depend on a lot of other people rushing around in vehicles to ensure they themselves don't need one.
No, townies would DIE in towns.
My maximum drive was 23 hours 47 minutes Copenhagen to Cambridge via Calais. 20 minutes doze at aachen, plus pee and coffee and refuelling breaks as required. Breakfast on the ferry.
Sienna to cambridge well under 12 hours, though I did split the driving.
sheesh, I used to commute to Brussels.. weekly...non stop
but harry would claim...well almost any alarmist bolloxs if you did.
