  1. Build quality of production line vehicles is only as good as the ' monkey ' that puts the nuts on , & the number of spot-welds . The UK cars all had that same problem for too many years ,we all blamed the car maker , But when the worker doesn't get enough time to put 5 nut on each wheel , of only manager's three ' spot welds out of five . All due to " time & motion " personal cutting their work time , hence moneys. Lucas electrical. BMC and ROOTES group . All went bad . spacesailor
  2. And now we have a " photo ID card " . Courtesy of the same drivers Licence, " service NSW " . So your once only " ID card " is available . spacesailor
  3. Do you ' have ' to do a conversion course for an E V . Similar to. Converting to , " manual " from Automatic car licence . Lots of talk of " short trip " , city driving . But . Isn't that what " public transport " is for ! . Outer suburbia, an hour or two . In the ratrace. Thousands of ' polluting I C motors ' crawling along those three & four lane highways, are the right place for EV's Who can calculate the pollution ? . One small IC ,X, 2,000 rpm= 2,000 litres of exhaust gas. Times one convoy of 1,000 , times three lanes . Times tens of thousands per hour . Sorry " it must be my nightmare " . LoL spacesailor

    Tax Cuts

    Again a " wage " increase for some ! . BUT For others ( pensioner's ) a loss when the prices increase. spacesailor
  5. An 18 yo can & often do gain their drivers licence. A lot of ' elderly females ' have never driven a car . Nor used modern technology. My late mother couldn't use a TV remote . Now , I seem to be going down that path . because of this modern " language " on our technology. ( None English ) . Inverted 'V', Triangle , ◇ unknown , ○ , ¤ . Should we Oldies be expected to know EVERYTHING LOL ,yet again . spacesailor
  6. I'll " complain " .many elderly do not have " drivers licence ". Nor formal ID Cards . So to refuse an elderly person, is tantamount to Discrimination. spacesailor
  7. The " HORSE " was unable to walk forever on " paved " ( hard ) . roads . It's ' toes ' wore out . Then had to be ' shod ' with slippery steel shoes . ( bridle- paths were made for the horses ) . spacesailor
  8. Does the " car battery " to house need an " inverter " , to get the voltage to 240vX 50 c , ( or French hertz). We have Tesla & charging lead , BUT the prongs of that charging lead ' plug ' show zero volts whilst plugged into the car . How to get access to your battery voltage,? . spacesailor
  9. And now England , IS in recession. so much for all that " privatisation " . spacesailor

  11. " declined to 13% " . me , I say forced to change , to the correct bank your employer insists on . My first ' none pay day ' , was a fisser as , the employer's bank hadn't told me ' which branch ,I had to go to to sign for an account . So my local branch couldn't find an account in my name . They didn't worry , not their problem. Off to the city , to sort it out . Whole day lost without pay . spacesailor
  12. Bank Australia. Only in Sydney City . It will cost more to get there. than any savings. It's the same as " Sydney Bank " . Online banking only , if not a city dweller . Then you can lose everything by a mere scam . spacesailor I wondered were that "Sydney Bank bit went . y Bank
  13. Keeting " was " the individual that made " Multiple millions " of dollars for the " banks " by " foreclosures " . So many the banks couldn't put them all on the market together It would have collapsed the property market. Many families have not recovered after all this time . Nor forgotten. Lucky me . To have survived that " Bastardry " . spacesailor
  14. And they build towns in those flood area's. Always on the best farmland, the best because it gets a good silting by those floods . Look at Egypt's Aswan dam , the farmland is degrading . No floods . spacesailor
  15. This new fuel is said to TO be " co2 " free . None polluting . spacesailor
  16. Didn't have the wheels chocked . We have had a couple of our chocks stolen. Just have to keep replacing them . spacesailor
  17. This new fuel should/ could be used to replace the ' fossil fuel ' in those Old power-stations . Most have rail lines bringing in coal. Why not the new fuel . spacesailor PS : how about ' removing ' the power-bill threshold ' , that's stops most pensioners, getting the grant . IE more rooftop panels, at no extra cost .
  18. Microsoft. Has just built a huge " Data storage " facility up the road from here . spacesailor

  23. It will be the super sticky gunk, on that ledge next . It was banned after a leak'd TV video ' showed , the rodent catcher, rippinging the legs off the live birds . spacesailor
