Fancy providing a source for your claim that Attenborough said people should stop flying and enjoying holidays?
'Mean-spirited': Attenborough caned for pricey air travel push
David Attenborough says air travel needs to be more expensive to fight climate change, but others say that is 'mean-spirited elitism'.

Some environmentalists are saying it’s time we thought more about how often we fly.

No one better placed to observe the man made changes to the climate.
None better to observe the changes all over the world - and especially in London; the greenest city in the world, these days, after the work done by him and the people he inspired to follow the example set by him. After living in London for 75 years(!) he's seen it go from a pea-soup sodden smog-bound bomb site, into a thriving modern metropolis that sets the standards for others to follow...notwithstanding the efforts made to block the Green energy which will make it an even better place to live for those who will carry on his pioneering work.

I'm sorry, Mottie. I was unable to wait around, at your beck and call, in case you wanted an immediate response from me.
I'll try to reorganise my life around your demands in future.
As if!"Rinse, Repeat" was a saying that only became popular in the 1950's. it originally related to product directions.
In those days people washed their hair much less frequently and "heavy" products were needed to cut through the grease and grime that would accumulate.
The lighter products that became popular needed more frequent applications, until people increased the frequency of hair washing, when the phrase became less used.
In the 1980/90's it was popularised as a saying for activities or chores that happen over and over in a predictable, often boring cycle. It became a phrase that people applied in many different concepts. You have your concept of what it means, others have their own concepts of what it suggests.
You can't insist that everyone must adopt your concept of the meaning of a popular saying. A meaning which you probably alter and modify to suit your specific requirements. Rather like your numerous examples of tomatoes being available in one shop, must, in your mind, indicate that they are available universally. Life isn't like that. I'm sure that you can't, hand on heart, have not been to one supplier for a specific product, which they didn't have. So you went to another supplier, who had loads of that specific product.
Life is like that.
We don't all interpret the world, as it is according to Mottie. We all have our own individual experiences and interpretations of the world, it's popular sayings, its idioms and its customs.
For example, When we hear the saying, "Ee by gum" it doesn't necessarily always mean its original meaning of surprise, amazement or disbelief.
It can be used in a mocking concept, a mimicking scenario, an opening to a sentence, etc. It has lots of concepts of meaning.
Another example is "Jack of all trades", modern meaning is that someone is no good at anything. But originally it would mean a good all-rounder without a specialty.
Then there's the concept of "double entendre"
Your frequent and repetitive referral to ellals's post is a typical style of post of yours, that happen over and over in a predictable, often boring cycle.
As is your expectation that others will wait around for your response, because they have nothing better to do. It's typically your style. You respond to a comment, wait for less than hour, and if the other poster hasn't responded in that time, you claim they've gone into hiding.
In reality they've gone out shopping, or partying, or down to the local for some reality time.
As Notch would say, chill out, and have a soothing cup of herbal tea.

Like I said, you had time to post the answer but chose to post waffle instead. BTW, you still haven’t answered the question. Take your time, do your shopping, go to your party, spend time at your local, I’ll wait for the answer. How long would you like, a couple of hours? A day? Two days? I guess we'll know when you’ve gotten your shopping, partying and spent time down your local out of the way because you’ll be back on here posting, won’t you? I’ll check in with you when you start posting again unless you just don’t want to acknowledge repeated verbatim posts in the same thread and let me know what you would like me to call them. It’s a pretty simple question, even for you. Speak soon.I'm sorry, Mottie. I was unable to wait around, at your beck and call, in case you wanted an immediate response from me.

Thou doth protesteth too much, oh hypocritical one.
Still swerving I see.Thou doth protesteth too much, oh hypocritical one.
Swerving what exactly?
Post #20. The words before the question mark indicating a question you were asked.Swerving what exactly?
@King Billy I see you’re back posting now so presumably you are back from shopping, partying and pub visiting. Got time to answer the question now? I believe @Notch7 is thinking about it, perhaps you could confer and cobble something up between the pair of you?
Responded (#23) done and dusted. I haven't denied a thing. You have tried (and failed) to deflect your own incessant rinse and repeat nonsense away.
You need to give it up Mottie, you are looking silly now.
