Climate Change

[MNW67]

Because the government said you should buy them for the climate change-- remember ?. Conned- scammed - gaslighted - taxed to reduce the temp --- measured at a massive RAF base - feel scammed yet

Nobody in our family has ever bought a diesel. Horrible smelly things which just aren't nice to drive.

Ask the government - all them that employ the services of behaviour experts

But what were they trying to achieve? Apart from make people worried about how hot it would be the next day.

What experience convinced you they were 'horrible smelly things which just aren't nice to drive'?

Wow!

That’s some first class bullshit

You want more-- how about used wind turbine blades being buried because its hard to recycle them - think about that when you are paying extra for eco electricity - feel conned yet ?

3rd class.

It's all about personal preference, I suppose. Modern diesels are fast and brutally effective, but for me they just aren't nice to drive, especially at speed on a country road. I suppose it depends on what you want from driving. I like all the sensations. I never have the radio on when I am driving for fun on a country road. I have always loved the sound and feel and response of a naturally aspirated petrol engine. Diesels sound awful and they are just not enjoyable to rev.

You need a motorbike

You need a motorbike

No, that wouldn't be my thing. I like the comfort and safety of four wheels!

Ask the government - all them that employ the services of behaviour experts - feel gas lit and conned yet. Dont worry you can save the planet from spontaneously combusting simply by paying more tax -- feel conned yet.

This is the colour scale from the BBC website. It actually looks OK to me. Do you object to dark blue as well?

BBC really !

 

[MNW67]

BBC really !

Yes, it really is from the BBC!

Do you mean these aren't the actual colours they use on TV?

When I've looked at them side by side, it looks like the map you posted earlier has been darkened or intensified in some way.

Do you live in that big house outside the village that has seen better days?
