From a News report I saw this week, new coal power plants are opening weekly so why is it always us in the UK that have to change to electric cars etc????? The use of fossil fuels in increasing nearly everywhere Countries and territories with the largest number of operational coal power plants worldwide as of July 2023 and have no intentions of changing. China (Mainland} 2 new every week India United States Japan Indonesia Russia Germany Poland Turkey Ukraine Philippines Vietnam Czechia South Korea Kazakhstan Taiwan Australia South Africa BTW …

Just heard on the news they are doing away with handbrakes on new cars and just relying on the electronic brake system, That should be good fun on Hill Starts. !!!!!

I get most of my execise thses days from shaking ny head in disbelief £8m a day for hotels for asylum seeks, Wilco to reopen, looks like away of getting rid of all the old staff and recruting all new on minimum wage of course, why not its been done before including the armed forces and police get rid of the experience and replace with ???????????????

Seen that Car Insurance Companies are blaming the increased high cost of Car Insurance this year on Electric Cars , I am not a fan of Electric Cars but this comment by Insurance Companies seems to me to be a fob off by them to unjustifiably penalise all Motorists to increase the insurance costs What do other Members think ???

So apparently the Government are apparently introducing a General Overall Speed Limit in built up areas of 20 mph. Some one asked on the Honest John Forum if the Cruise Control limit on vehicles will adjust down to 20 mph and the answer was apparently it can only be adjusted to a minimum of 21 mph and that should be okay, but if the Control Limiter is not correct ,try telling that to the Judge for exceeding the 20mph speed limit, I agree this limit should reduce accidents in particular outside Schools etc but there seems to be a question that needs to be answered on this Cruise control issue, Not that I personally would intend to use Cruise Control for this low speed. …

Take a look at the Friday Laugh should be just the thing for you old sea dogs.

Hi All Whilst I agree about the 20 mph speed limit being imposed outside Schools or any other places where young persons might be vulnerable to traffic injury, I am not sure I agree with this being made law on other roads. Any comments from our worthy Members on this. ??? Pedal to the Metal Boy Racers excluded 😇 Best wishes BAZZER RN 1

Does anyone have any comments about these animals, As a responsible Parent and hopefully a responsible Person, I have my own personal views on this. I have had Dogs my latest Two Beautiful Border Collies who sadly died last year but I always made sure they were well trained and safe on a lead when out walking them .
