Re: Electric Vehicles (EV) Thread

^I doubt if China's problems are helped by being the world's largest importer of fossil fuels. Not quite as simple as that - look at how they are used. This also leads to another very valid point regarding EV's, how is the electricity used to power them produced? I worked on numerous power stations...

Re: Electric Vehicles (EV) Thread

Posting here rather than the "China Thread" as I feel there are more issues to come to light with regards to Chinese EV Makers/Producers.. And their "investors". I'm quoting friends and relatives here (at this stage), but with the huge discontent within China over the dire job ma...

Re: The Rugby Thread

Owwww! That made me wince just looking at it! I was thinking maybe accidentla, but a second look makes that unlikely. And tjhere won't be a third look...

Re: Premier League 2023-24

Plus Salah's been shite for seven games now. And one or two others can join him I guess. Salah was quite poor I believe when he went for the "Africa Cup of Nations" - is that the same for others amongst the EPL teams? As much as they do run around like girls (yep - sorry), they do run (OK...

Apologies if this has been mentioned previously.... And sadly I'm old enough to have enjoyed the original with Richard Chamberlain (when we didn't know what a "Mini Series" was... Hell, I think we only had 3 TV channels, no Satellite and no Internet then - how did we survive?!! Shōgun http...
