Much as I admire the man in terms of what he has achieved he is a loose cannon.

His not activating or making available Starlink to Ukraine to help blowing up Russian ships.

His comments on Taiwan. Not impressed.

Buy cheap Chinese or support European car industry?

Same thing is happening right now with solar power industry. European companies set up and the Chinese are subsidising their solar which is putting European companies out of business.

Hey Migalot. Don't forget Stalin was responsible for the death of around 20 million people. Might have been a million more or a million less.

Dont worry about Poland . By end of next year it will have the biggest army in Europe.

North Korea may be upping the anti right now.

We have lived in the very best times. Crap for anyone with children. West on the decline and China and India on the up with Russia waiting in the wings while the West endlessly prevaricates

Quote from the article.

“In October, a premium range of the Seres brand will arrive, the SF5, which competes directly with the Tesla," Guillén said. It will cost 60,000 euros, with a range of 700 kilometres of autonomy and 500 horsepower”

That isn't a bad range but I bet it isnt while using all 500 horses!

A new dealership is opening here in Andalucia to sell Chinese cars. Very impressive.

Four brands - DFSK, Seres, SWM and Invicta. Never heard of or seen any of them. Maybe I lead a sheltered life! I have seen MGs on the roads.

Risky venture?. Italy has just divorced itself from the ill fated BRI. Most of our Spanish friends do not buy anything Chinese , well certainly not from any of the Chinese shops that are like Wilko in UK but 20 times the size.

I suppose they will be competitive on price. The Dacia 4x4 s sell really well here and seem to be durable.

Any Chinese car dealerships in Britain and is there an appetite for Chinese cars?

Good point about will anyone be sacked.

The cost to the nation would no doubt have been immense.for the manhunt.With resources diverted, other crimes would go unmanaged or not even investigated.

Helped by someone on the inside.

It is like something from Porridge!

Nowt wrong with those dave. What I would call “Ibiza sound” . One of my regrets is not getting tt Pacha.

Nice to hear of other Pink Floyd nuts! I have had the same CD in the 4x4 for over a year……

I must look up Gary Moore in Skid Row before he went to Thin Lizzie.

We are mostly of a certain age, so I thought I would start a thread on your favourite music tracks and why.

One of mine is “ when the levee breaks” Led Zeppelin. The drums and harmonica are just sublime. A late uncle in law played harmonica and I sort of learnt……Interestingly I don’t think it was a track that Zeppelin played live . The drums were in a pit and the harmonica layered on afterwards. Still a great track.

What is yours and why?

I have always said a charge of say five quid for first gp consultation and 20 quid for hospital consultation would reduce that waste. I wouldn’t advocate a charge per consultation as the follow on are generally attended out of self interest.

How about a payment by the nhs to customers when an appointment is cancelled? That might focus minds……….
