Volvo released some interesting data that did a like for like comparison of a brand new ICE and EV vehicle. Same model, same production lines, mostly the same suppliers. The EV needs to do 90k miles before the day to day running starts being greener than the ICE. And that's with all the resources taken to build a new car. My 1982 V8 Rangie is greener than most EVs. So is my 1988 diseasel!
They need to build 5 new power stations just for charging. A MP's report the other day on news stated that the government was going to be down £35 billion yes billion per year with lost revenue in duty, vat, road taxes etcI wonder where all the electrickery is going to come from. See the government is talking about charging,no pun intended,by the mile as it's losing so much revenue with the eco cars paying reduced or no road tax.
Could you see todays yung uns going down pit like we didOr bring some of the old Coal ones back online
I'd like to. It might set them straight about a few things, like what hard work looks like! We might have less focus on pronouns and more on things that matter too. (Never been down a pit, but my uncle did after he left the RM Commandos, and I'm glad it wasn't something I had to do)Could you see todays yung uns going down pit like we did
I had 13 years down pit til one accident too many and redundancies finished my career in one of the best jobs I ever had
But the manly beard oil would get dirty
A few years national service would take care of that!
My dad was an engineer down the pits and an accident fecked his back, I've still got the Davey lamp he was given on his retirement.
I was a time served fitter. Did a real indentured apprenticeship. Not like todays so called apprenticeships
I was bloody awful at drill, but I do think joining up was the best thing I did. Or maybe it's a close second to leavingBloody right,they need more drill these days.
Far better than my pointless degree!
Shocking. LOL
Never mate, Never. We are the go down generation. LOLCould you see todays yung uns going down pit like we did
I grew up in a mining family. My dad was a miner at Gedling and Calverton with my grandad and my mums side were all Clipstone in Mansfield. Glory days. Sadly gone.
We need that back too so we can get all these ****wit teenagers of today off their lazy arses and in to a routine. Sadly that wont happen either because of the doo gooders and child line. LOL
25 years service to my Queen and country did me no harm. Just look at me now. LOLI was bloody awful at drill, but I do think joining up was the best thing I did. Or maybe it's a close second to leaving
