That isn't a PLAN, it's an aim.


It's the Brexit 'plan' with a different heading copied onto another blank sheet of paper.



A plan would consist of what they intend to achieve, how they're going to do it, who is going to do the work, a timeline and at least a guess at the costs and implications.

I rarely buy cars younger than 5-7yrs old, then keep them for ages, so that will likely keep me going until my perch lets me down.

I reckon most cars being sold now will have a quarter century in them at least. So even if that doesnt improve, you'll be covered up to 2060/70. Not sure how old you are, but i doubt I'll be bothered about driving anywhere after that sort of date.

Mechanically I would probably agree....its all the electronics stuffed into cars these days that will let them down and end their life early....so I disagree overall...
