I quite liked the statues at Crosby. Particularly when viewed from an altitude of about 20ft in a hovering helicopter!

Why? Do you fill up with petrol each time you pass a garage? Charge your phone at every opportunity?
Even with the modest range of a modern small electric car I'd not see the need to charge it when going to the shops - if it had been charged overnight, as would be the norm.

Why should that ever happen? The planet has resources that are effectively unlimited and it is drenched with energy from the sun. Life works in a self-perpetuating cycle.
I know it. There ain't no beast can compete.
At best we could be guardians of it but we (the
Why should we be guardians of something that looks after itself pretty well? We should be exploiting the planet as much as possible to heighten every person's standard of living. That's what it's for. Look, you find a tenner in the gutter you go spend it in the pub, that's right isn't it? A bit of luck comes your way, you exploit it.
This is just another reason why we should keep immigrants out.

Ha! What a laugh! How long do you think it would take me to get to Nottingham by those means? Hilarious.
Anyway I don't like public transport. The public use it.
Yes, did that today. Hil had been riding the disability scooter and was a bit chilled. I had been walking and my feet were torturing me with hotness. I put her side on 24C and my side (feet only) on 14C. It were lovely.
You should have earned more money then.
I wouldn't.

If they actually do bring this crazy law in I guess there'll be cars made that are just able to be classed as hybrids, with a titchy battery and electric motor.

You upgrade on an as needed basis.
Obviously to transform to an all electric civilisation doesnt happen overnight, any more than the transformation to a coal or an oil one happened overnight.
These issues were precisely what faced car owners in say 1905. Where to get petrol.
Actually we are not entering a renewable age, we are entering a nuclear one.
We just dont know it.

Seems strange it is not available on their online order forms ,in the Morrisons I have looked in or on Heinzes own product list. Perhaps they are doing a trial marketing exercise in that store, but even if they are and you haven't misread the name on the brand it still won't be the Heinz London Grill product which I was talking and asking about about before mentioning the alternatives produced under the name Hunger breaks from Princes Ltd, Not Heinz.

My take on this is who are we saving the Planet for?
It is natural that people reply for my children and grand children and so on.
But in reality I probably don't care a lot about your children and you won't care a lot about mine and I certainly don't like many of the people of the world who prefer killing others because they won't conform to their religious or political point of views. so I'm not interested in saving the planet for their offspring either especially as they breed to excess and the offspring try and come here for a lifestyle that they can't sustain in places where the religious views and social practices are at odds with such a lifestyle.
So I see no reason that our present reasonably good ways of life which have been reached by centuries of hard work, tolerance , and Innovation should become worse to accommodate those whose ancestors did not decide to experiment with funny rocks and liquids exuding out of the ground around them but carried on herding a few goats and going hungry because every so often one had to be given to the Gods.

They won't be checked on the basis of a tick box that puts them in a "class"
they'll be checked by measuring their emissions over a laboratory test run.

Even more stupid than usual, since most hybrids use more fuel than straight fuel cars on most runs.
I dunno why we are so het up about this. Its all cat belling and virtue signalling. Its not even meant to be a serious policy.

Has anyone said hybrids will be allowed? I read it as no IC engines at all.
In 20 years time, hybrids will likely be the norm with no legislation at all.
