I have a 10 year old diesel and don't drive much.
It's pretty cheap to tax at £20 a year and pretty cheap to run.

My next car will almost certainly be a BEV but it's a question of when. At the rate I use it, my car might last me another 10 years.

Right now there's EVs I like but they're expensive.

Yeah from TV it looked a bit touch and go from the first angle but was definitely on side when seen from sideline. Lino got it bang on. #itfc

When we get told that taxes have to rise or public sector workers can't have a pay rise just remember it's because this lot took the money.

I'd like to see an interview point this out next time the Tories are handing out advice on the economy.

That would be former Tory MP John Penrose, a guy who voted in favour of changing lobbying rules after his mate & fellow Tory MP Owen Paterson got fingered for falling foul of the existing ones by lobbying for...wait for it...the aforementioned...Randox, for whom Paterson was a paid consultant.

I feel there's something missing
I'd beg for some forgiveness
But begging's not my business"

So good.

Hmm. Now, given the timelines, the question is was that book written by the Doppelgänger?

As soon as I read that I thought of your blog post on Pitchfork.

I'm sure there are many motorists that feel the same way.

There's plenty of people that won't give way on the road, I'm scared of all of them.

This might help someone: An old school sound system tip for playing turntables really loud is if you sum the L+R channels into mono any feedback will cancel out like magic.

Many mixers have a mono switch for this. You can put speakers right next to your deck without skipping or feedback.

Well right now we do have to share the roads with motorised traffic so traffic lights aren't going anywhere.

Whilst they exists I won't be expecting people to ride through them. At least until you've successfully changed the law it's not fair to do something completely unexpected to other riders.

I don't disagree with that but we still need traffic lights in some circumstances and we still need people to honour them.
