Ah...but yesterday was only a 'fiscal statement', not a full blown budget. Apparently.

Can't see it happening, myself, conservative MPs would vote it down.

Anyway, you'll probably be dead by then.

So they convinced the handwringing liberal middle classes that to save the planet for their grandchildren they had to buy an EV.  :)

Then they jacked up the cost of electricity and made them pay VED like everyone else!  ;D

It's already becoming as expensive to charge an EV as it is to run a petrol car. People have been told that they're not only saving the planet, but cheap to run. Let's see if the sales figures increase by the amount predicted.

Plus, every one of them qualifies for the 'over 40 grand new' tax, a proper kick in the bollix.

I don't know, but I'm wondering if getting couple of fat lasses would be cheaper than putting the heating on to keep warm on these cold winter nights?  ???

Be like a Sir Tig sandwich!  :D

Don't get me started. We ran out of real, cow-based milk at the office today, so I used the oat milk in my coffee instead. Words fail me. :-X

I've drunk black coffee without sugar for over 40 years, which makes for a different problem: a lot of 'coffee' ought to be outlawed under chemical weapon rules

Yup the coffee at breakfast from an urn at the hotel I was at for the last 4 days could have stripped paint.
