[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

Is the date the government is now aiming for to be rid of petrol and planet killing derv.

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

First it is 2040....then 2035.....now(possibly) 2032.

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

Three years less of black babies falling out of trees in Africa every time STMO starts the Astra.

It'll be 2025 by next week, at this rate.

Yep.

Anyway, I have an I-Pace on the drive as I type so I'm doing my bit to save the planet. It's OK in an ' household appliance' sort of way.

[Rangie]

Good luck with that 😀😀😀

I was hoping for 24 hours with the car but apparently it is going out again tomorrow morning. So I will have to take it back in a few minutes ( because presumably they need to charge it overnight) and pick up my 'proper car' which has hopefully passed it's MOT.

If I was young again, there are a number of growth areas I would look to work in.

Speed wall climbing, supplying trees for eco planting and installing charging points. That Porsche on Top Gear  ( I want one) on max charge uses SIXTY times the power that our overhead supply can handle. My suspicion is once buying electric cars take off that there will be a massive programme of perhaps government sponsored installs.

[Sir Tigger KC]

The date is for the ban of new petrol and diesel cars, so presumably it will still be OK to go about in an Omega?

One day a young polar bear approached his mother and asked, "Am I a Polar Bear?". "Yes" she replied gently, "as am I and as is your father."

The following day he approached her again. "So, if you're a Polar Bear, and father is also a Polar Bear, then I must also be a Polar Bear?". "That's right." she replied, slightly bemused.

The next day, he went to her a third time, and in a puzzled voice, asked "Let me get this right. To be certain. If you are a Polar Bear and Father is also a Polar Bear, then I am definitely a Polar Bear as well?". Again she replied, "Yes, that is completely correct. Why do you ask?".

"Well...", said the young bear, very confused, "if we're are all three certainly Polar Bears, then why am I so opposing cold?".

This story cam from Grant Shapps, who wouldn't know a fact if it kicked him up the arse.

Also, as the limit of any administration's strategy is 5-10yrs, they're fairly safe to make up any ol' sh!te that they like.

Yes by 2030 they'll be telling us that disaster has been averted for now, so we can put off the petrol and diesel ban until 2040.
