    Trade bashing China's supply dominance, nothing to do with Taiwan. Trump, like Nixon, believes in there only being one China, without the two faced position the USA has adopted since. .

    Nobody is wrong all the time, and for once Boris is right in some respects. A Trump presidency woud bring an end to the Ukraine conflict and also stop the current silly escalation of tension between the USA and China. .

    What a load of nonsense, imagine the worst, then worry yourself silly thinking about it. We can't anticipate and prepare for new threats since the variety of possibilities is infinite. We should know that already after fretting about new strains of bird flu for a decade and then getting hit...

    The Anything Thread that is Never off subject.

    Seems somewhat like military research, of the sort we in the west did in the past, and probably still secretly do. Seeking possible methods of mass human incapacitation or deaths. .

    We also have those in London. It had mirrors for the 132 mile drive from Ballymena. Perhaps they took them off in the south, not knowing what they were for? ;) .

    Not the first times it's happened either. The network operators sometimes can't get sufficient capacity for chargers to be installed in time before the buses arrive, but the chargers get there eventually. It's no different from us still generating electricity from coal and imported woodchip...

    Agreed, I haven't listened through. I'm so fed up with the endless posting of these videos by several members that I've long given up on listening to them interminably rambling on. In too many cases they take five or ten times as long than actually necessary to smugly make their often invalid...

    True, but I still remember once leaving a friends home very late, remote from the car park on a freezing winter night and the frost covered icy state of my IC car then. Not a pleasant prospect at well after midnight in such conditions. But it could never be a problem with my EV having...

    Hardly the equivalent to having the facility built in and functionally coupled to other comfort items like the heated steering wheel and seats. .

    The same response to both posts. Firstly I've made my critical view of Tesla very clear before, they've been on the wrong lines from the beginning, a truth becoming more clear now, so Tesla should not be treated as a synonym for battery electric cars. Nor should the US market be treated as...

    Another total twerp. I'm just about to go out in my EV although it ia zero degrees outside at the moment. In my former ic cars that would be a miserable experience for a few miles, but with its instant heating to 22 dgrees C, it's pleasant in my EV as I drive smugly to my destination. Nor...

    Courier Chaos

    I haven't suffered any Yodel delivery for long time, but yes, they are very poor. Here they dont have professional drivers and dedicated vehicles, just using locals driving their own cars and often only delivering in the evenings as part time jobs. .

    Courier Chaos

    Perhaps because you've only ever lived in houses. Nearly a third of all UK households are single occupant, many of them in flats and maisonettes, multi-occupation with a common ground floor hall. In our most extreme cases in my London borough we have a number of tower blocks 44 storeys tall...

    And I've several times over a long period shown the photos proving that they were not. Many of them were from before our battery e-bus era anyway. Regardless , we are going to EV buses only anyway, simply because we have to for multiple reasons, so protest and opposition is foolish and...

    I think they can happen, but it will mean a set back in time to very slow flight speeds, maybe 200 mph at most. Boring enough to be pleased thay can't fly very far. And just as we've moved away from any airliners with over two engines, it will be back to engines all along both wings! Quaint. .

    Strange how after all the dozens of diesel bus fires with total burn outs in various bus designs, none was ever withdrawn from service. Electric vehicle hysteria again? This e-bus in Wimbledon was an Optare Metrodecker, a model that has been in service for five years now and 84 of them have...

    That is common usage which I have never denied. Even the police commonly use it. It is contrary to law. .
