A far smaller population not suffering from pollution and living in a less damaged environment. .

The incredible relaxed driving style is the same for me with my full electric car, but not for range reasons, simply because the precise electric control, smoothness and silence is so relaxing. I think e-cars will greatly reduce urban accidents, contrary to those who think their silence will...

My motorcycling started at 2 shillings per gallon, very shortly after jumping to 2 shillings and 6 pence at which its stayed for at least four years. It might have been longer, but for the next six years the army paid for all the petrol I used. .

Phew, that's a relief. .

If we approve of everything that people love to do, we might as well scrap almost all of the statute book and have a free for all. .

Facebook is great: Finding missing persons - Just the job for those who want to murder someone, missing people can't be additionally missed. Finding children - Just the job for paedophiles. Finding dogs - Handy for the travellers who steal dogs to sell them. Finding out what mates had for...

What we need now is an app for retention of knowledge by the public. I fear the all too easy access to abundant knowledge has produced something akin to "in one ear, out the other". .

Don't go too far back though! The driving licence was introduced in 1903, but a driving test wasn't introduced until 1st June 1935. Up until then one just walked into any Post Office and bought a licence, jumped into a car and drove off. As if that was not bad enough, meanwhile the Road...

Small correction in the interest of accuracy. The 131, also known as the Mirafiore, was extensive manufactured in other countries, including iron curtain Poland where it was called the Polski Fiat, but never made in Russia or known as Lada. The Lada was the FIAT 124 with upgraded heavy duty...

Yes I do, but your use of integrity is laughable in this matter. Thames Water, sold off to a German company who them sold it to asset stripper Macquarie Holdings in Australia, who then mysteriously divested it to a consortium known as Kemble. But then Kemble appeared to be still part of...

"Eventually" has existed for some while in my outer London borough, one of the largest in the country with a bigger population than most of our cities. The whole borough is 20 limit with just the main through routes mostly at 30 mph limit. Every street is heavily infested with main and repeater...

To answer the question, at least double the retail cost per gallon, probably more. Just look at the reluctance to buy e-cars, even in those who they suit and who can afford them. My new Nissan Leaf runs at 200 mpg equivalent cost on night rate electricity yet even that amazing economy doesn't...

Hi Billy, welcome to the forum. The Ezee agent now is: https://greentechebikes.com You can contact Jeff or Janet there. What year is your model? There were two main series of the Ezee Torq, quite different from each other, plus a number of changes within the later version. .

Fully Agree. It's called justice, to a small degree getting something back from those who've been ripping us off so cynically. Take Thames Water for example. Breaking the company down into several operations with each as a company declaring a cost and added profit margin. Then their...

He bought them without any checks, not realising they were completely illegal here and the Home Office unwilling to make them legal. They weren't even in working condition so he spent lots more money on repairs, hoping to get a permission he never got. They were eventually sold at a big loss...

Yes, most others he'll be dealing with internationally aren't sufficiently brain dead to view him favourably. And no, I don't have any data for that, just observation. But how on earth can you support Johnson, have you not been following his life and record? I have for a very long time. He...

That's true, but they don't choose old people for PM these days. We won't see the likes of the Macmillan and Churchill as PM in their dotage any more, and even they first came to the post much younger than 70. .

I told you in this reply didn't I? Why ask again, trying to con members that I didn't? .

You've got it the wrong way round, it's not my analysis book that's old. The public and parliament don't support older people for PM any more, doing that was the old way. Ergo, a 90 year old wouldn't get popular support. The trend has been to the younger for a long time now, Cameron holding...

JC's only chance was if Theresa May called a GE in response to her deal's failure. At 70 now, time has beaten him. Some of the post WW2 PMs originally came to that office for the first time in their 60s, but not for a very long time now. To find someone in their 70s becoming PM for the first...
