    Dont know what the attraction of Oz is, sat here in the garden, rain coming in hard from the South West, wind blustery. fog on Brent Knoll, my barbecue keeps going out, and my sausages are soaked. Watching City for 60 plus years does this to your mind. Would I swop, you bet I would ? Merry Xmas to anyone on this planet who supports City, especially our Oz friends.?

    My son in Perth tells me high temps tomorrow will be around 42/43C, with overnight around 30C

    I think our weather is more comfortable!

    Happy Christmas ?

    No Cav? 

    Despite suffering for years and eventually finally overcoming a debilitating illness.

    He then virtually self funds himself to get back into the team he feels most at home with.

    Then through self belief, dedication and determination, gets back to his winning ways and equals the all time record for TDF stage wins, and takes the Green Jersey as well, but this is not on enough to be on the list.  ?

    Gotta be honest, I'm not sure what the plan is there. My guess is they'll eventually be taxed out of existence apart from as heritage items.

    Like the poster above, I just can't see charging points being ready to implement the ambition timeframe they've given themselves though. 

    Perhaps, but there is such a tax revenue generated on fuel, one wonders how and what will replace it.

    In practical terms I agree. I can't see how EVs can be the solution. Not all vehicle owners have their own drive or even a space outside their home.

    When you consider how many petrol stations there are, and the frequency of custom and speed of refueling I cannot see how EVs can be fuelled up at anything like the same scale and have such easy access to charging, as we presently have for refueling.

    As we've read, by 2030 we aren't even supposed to be making or selling internal combustion engine vehicles. I can't see that happening then, and I can therefore imagine exclusions might be temporary for a lot longer than some might think.

    New vehicles for sure. But I would guess that the second hand market and the ongoing repair and maintenance of petrol and diesel vehicles will remain strong for a great many years.

    No matter how good you are technically, and he isn't that good, there's no excuse for not putting the effort in. 

    He needs to have a long hard look at HNM to see what skill and total effort/commitment is.
