Just seen the gov. new climate change ad. apparently if we all drive just 5 miles less per week,it will help enormously.Us motorists are the worst culprits.
I feel so ashamed Im tempted to enquire about that W12 VW that Optimist was talking about earlier. ::) ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
Woner what I should do then. Drove 16 miles on Friday and 8 miles 2 weeks ago, total of 24 miles in 6 weeks.
Dont think I have managed a 1000 miles since my MOT last year.
Does that mean I get a reward. ::)

An xmas card from a polar bear maybe ? :y ;D ;D

"In a stunning announcement, fresh research in the journal Science has invalidated all the computer models used by the UN IPCC and relied on by uppity bloggers.
Essentially, say researchers, "we got it wrong"...
...The news throws into question the huge focus on CO2 emissions, and the point of even bothering to turn up to Copenhagen, given that much of what climatologists thought they knew about global warming turns out to be wrong."

In essence, the advert (which I have seen) is based on a theory which is scientifically questionable.
Quelle surprise, mon ami!
;) ;D ;D

Could be chinese whispers... i heard it from some ware else, but its still going to be pricey to maintain. Shame, cheap enough to buy and i think they look rather nice.

I read an article by Christopher Booker recently which also said that the computer models (which the whole climate change "science" sprang from) have been proved to be complete bunkum. ;)

I think its a good thing....understated. :y I had one of them in front of me going up a slip road onto the A12 when I had the Senator,it took off up the road like excrement off a highly polished digging implement,made the Sennie look positively slow. :)
I wonder how much it would be to LPG it ? ::)

The next logical step of course is to legislate for reduced energy use by taxation or surcharge - after all, it's the way in modern day Britain - splendid :y :y

No my lad, you're for the firing squad. Shorter journeys mean higher emmissions! ;) ;D ;D
-
5 miles less per week eh??
Hmm, 5 miles less per week puts me on a 3 day week.....my earnings then drop to below minimum wage....then the state has to top my wages up.......potentially a good deal if you can get the figures right ;)
