Oh yes.. I’m afraid 😢
Big bro sent me the same article a few days ago Ian. Think, realistically we’ll have about 15, maybe 20 more years before the devils juice (petrol👿) becomes to expensive to buy. 2035 being the year that production of ice engines cease to be made. There’ll still be plenty on the roads though until they eventually phase them out. To quote Bob Dylan... “the times, they are a changing” 🤷???🤦???
Wonder if I could convert the bonnie in to electric 🤔🤔🤣🤣
Cheers, Michael

oh well, i'll probably be too old to drive/ride by then ... but it's a real bugger for the younger generation, and the price of a half decent EV is eye watering. and there won't be a second hand market for EV's, as the batteries will be f*c*ed, which constitute 40% of the vehicle value.

trebles all round for battery makers (just shows how short term minded this government is, by not supporting the battery factory in Northumberland)

Whilst trying not to get too political, it seems absolutely amazing to me that the politicos seem willing to force millions into poverty and an early death in order to 'save the planet' when there is not one drop of proper empirical scientific evidence that links Co2 to climate change.

At the very least, there's a contradiction in 'saving the planet' presumably to ensure humans can carry on living here, and potentially killing millions in the process. 🙄

I'm grateful that I will hopefully have dropped off the perch before this lunacy affects my life too much...

I have to disagree Pete but suggest this is not the place for a heated argument.

Maybe NOT a heated argument Ian but what about a grown up debate/discussion. Possibly in “rant” section. Just a thought 🤷???

The trouble is that it's almost impossible to have that reasoned debate remotely without at some stage descending into vitriol. I know what I believe based on what I understand to be sound and consistent research and data. Others will have different views and I would rather keep civil and friendly relationships with people than sour the atmosphere.

Correct Ian. The moral of the story is 'don't post on here on returning from the pub'...

Pub?

They are a rare "business model". :-[

Beer gardens, with some sort of food theme appear to be de rigueur.  ::)

Hauf an a hauf or a heavy!  ;)

You know you've joined the right forum when you read juvenile comments like this - home sweet home  ;D

"Name withheld to protect the weedy 😁" - classic! ;D

Just because I'm big doesn't mean I'm tough. Built for comfort not for speed as Howlin' Wolf put it.
