do it as well as you can,but learn to do it better
well the cost of runnin' yer leccy roller skate in April went up 54% for 'fuel' yesterday with yet more hikes to come ....
that's going to make folk think about the 'wisdom' of going leccy ......
don't think motion lotion's ever taken that sort of one hit hike
and that's before you've cooked yer breccy/lunch/tea

Exkinsactly...said this for ages. Charge like for like....htf can someone drive round in a Tesla fir nowt on bik. I suspect if things were like for like we'd have a lot more common sense going on.

Yeah but if you tax leccy to make up for what govt is losing the incentive to run one (cheaper) will disappear. But that's easy sorted heap a load more taxes on fossil burners.

Let the incentive disappear...make it level playing field... anyone daft enough to think they can save the planet in their exspensive milkfloat can do ..anyone else crack on as before but yes wishfull thinking

if they have their way there will be no fossil burners in 8 years time ..... not only will there be no new ones to buy, I'll guarantee you they'll have made running an existing one eye wateringly expensive .......

Which is a win win for them just think what they'll make off anyone daft enough to want to keep using a fossil burner.if they have their way there will be no fossil burners in 8 years time ..... not only will there be no new ones to buy, I'll guarantee you they'll have made running an existing one eye wateringly expensive .......

but the taxation is supposedly for the upkeep/maintenance and development of the road network Gaz ... if you're running around on it then you should be paying for the privilege .. same as everyone else who pays even more with fuel duties on top ... the leccy brigade are supposedly running on 'cheap (not likely to be so cheap as of April) fuel' ..... so there's the theoretical incentive

The tax collected ain't been spent on the roads for a long time, do you never get out
Fossil burners will end up like smoking. They'll do that well off the taxes they won't want tax them off the road completely.

Never mind leccy even newer cars have no character any more. Everything sounds the same (crap) and nearly everything has same gearbox there's very few cars have anything to make them stand out.
