Twelve chargers and around half a dozen cars, so no queuing. Three of the cars are Directors Porsches which are worth at least twice my salary so I dont mind having a bit of free leccy from them.

I firmly believe that most things that are already taxable shouldnt be, and people should be allowed to decide what to do with their own money.

How many " driver aid systems" does it employ to stop mere mortals behind the wheel from killing themselves every time they plant their right foot ?

Doc Gollum. Dont choke on those sour grapes.
It's like an elderly aunt that gives you an allowance and in exchange, you visit periodically and consume all her tea and biscuits before having a nap on the sofa ready to head home again...
Whenever I see Camilla she reminds me of the ' batty mad aunt' who would have been locked in the attic and forgotten about in years gone by.
She reminds me of a third rate hooker who got lucky.

It's a wage rise of sorts.
Thats how I look at it.

That sums it up pretty well to be fair. Although I do have to supply my own biscuits.
I think it balances out across my working life though. I did almost thirty years of physical graft before I ended up in this job, so swings & roundabouts.
It could be argued that if I had listened more at school (or even bothered to turn up half the time) I might not have had to do physical jobs until I was too breaked up to do it any more, but thats a different conversation for another day.

That was certainly the case at the last election. That and people not bothering at all gave them a huge majority, despite the fact they got less votes than they did when Corbyn got slaughtered by the electorate the previous time

I must give the Omega a bit of a run soon before the petrol in the tank starts to go stale.

Mine is still £0.00.
I have plugged it in at home for an hour or so on two occasions. No idea how much that cost and not too bothered as I dont plan on making a habit of it.
