    Maybe all electric cars should be fitted with solar panels and wind turbines.  They could only be driven using the power generated by those devices.  That would remove the need for them to draw power from the grid.  Alternatively, as around 20% of power generation is from renewables, the cars can only be charged to 20% of capacity.  We would be able to see how practical they really are then.



    A spacious electric car with a range of up to 305 kilometers that charges itself through the power of the sun.

    ...I also use to shout Dorf at the TV when 'that' Dutch player was mentioned... very childish sense of humour eh? Good job he's not in the World Cup this time round.

    If they got some of that test and trace money back, it would go a long way towards plugging the gap in the country's finances

    Found about 8 flies in the house. I hope something hasn't died up a chimney 😟

    I'm thinking of making a complaint under the Trades Description Act.  We visited the new Dobbies Garden Centre at Tewkesbury today.  Lovely new building but they can start a new game called 'Hunt the Plant'.  Their Christmas 'stuff' takes up about 10 times as much space as the indoor plants and their restaurant is at least as large as the outdoor plant area.  I'd be surprised if more than 10% of the total floor area, inside and out, has anything to do with plants and gardens.
