Re: The Daily Post Election Politics Thread

I had a questionnaire through the door yesterday from my local Tory Cnut candidate for the next election. According to this survey, all the country’s problems are due to immigrants and the fact Labour always vote against proposed Tory legislation policy, despite the fact that if all Tory MPs voted w...

Always always keep your seat belt on

Never understood why the minute the seat belt light goes out on a plane you hear click click click as so many people remove them.

Its no problem to keep it on and, has here, it might one day save your life. Pilots cannot predict turbulence.

Re: Work

So this news came out yesterday https://amp.abc.net.au/article/103852218 I got a call later in the day. 10 positions affected offshore, out of around 500 staff on roster. I got a golden ticket. My offshore days are done. Seems my OIM kept his word and secured me a handshake. Still a little in shock...

Re: Will Automated vehicles mean the end of Motorbikes ?

The whole point of automated vehicles, I would assume, is because they are safer. We already have lots of safety systems built into new vehicles to take an element of control away from the driver. Auto braking, active cruise, lane centring systems. Bear in mind that fully automated vehicles will alm...

Re: The electric car revolution

Imagine how many decades it would take the UK to implement a viable hydrogen filling stations network. We are already years behind Europe on EV charging stations. I would be very surprised if hydrogen is the answer as it needs electricity to produce it and even then its only half as efficient in a v...

Re: The electric car revolution

It is the way forward.

I am pretty sure there be either restrictions on use or extra costs to use petrol cars in 10 years time if global warming continues at its current rate. Stafford is surrounded by water at the moment.

Re: What do you want to vent about today?

A proper estate management company should be run and owned by the residents.

Really it’s just another way for a private company to make money at the expense of residents for things that would generally have been managed by the local council in most cases.

Re: NEW Bike day-ish, GS Round 2

The Roadsmart offer is hard to ignore but I will just say I fitted some Dunlop Mutants to the Multi over Xmas. Second time out today and have to say they are a brilliant tyre. Handle like a sports tyre but grip like a wet tyre even in winter.
