Should I buy an older diesel because of our budget
And ... the way the wording of the forthcoming restrictions go, if you want a Motorhome over 3.5t, you will still be able to get* a brand new Diesel Motorhome until 2035.How old were you thinking. Don’t think the ban is for existing vans made before 2030. If I’ve interpreted it right it means they won’t make or sell any diesel vans from that date. But I don’t think it will ever happen.
And it is a country with a low population and masses of hydro-electric power stations for a start. It is like saying "in Venice there are loads of gondolas - why don't we have them in Leeds?"Where we are touring at the moment, Norway, it already appears that electric and hybrid cars are in the majority. Teslas are like fleas on a dog![]()

They have gone "green" in a big way with incentives ..............Where we are touring at the moment, Norway, it already appears that electric and hybrid cars are in the majority. Teslas are like fleas on a dog![]()
I for one, am very relieved that they are also scrapping an additional bunch of proposals, that never existed in the first place. Now THAT is an achievable target.Government kicking the can down the road again![]()
But why have they dunn it ??? chasing votes , pressure from oil companies, because he's nice and is concerned about our empty pockets ,oh and no rise in interest ratesLooks like 2030 is going into 2035 watch this space![]()
Probably because they realise that it was un achievable Baz, they only changed it from 2035 to 2030 initially as they wanted to appear to be world leading. Did anyone expect any different really?But why have they dunn it ??? chasing votes , pressure from oil companies, because he's nice and is concerned about our empty pockets ,oh and no rise in interest rates
Been a few protest recently in Hull, seems some regulation/law whatever went in a few years back(?) that allows company’s to install telegraph poles without needing permission. Loads I’d streets I have been walking down now have a lovely smell of creosote in the sunshine, it’s the new poles. It’s broadband providers here that’s putting them up as well Trev.How long has it been since fiber optic internet landed and still only a fraction of the country have it along with mobile oh coverage, no did anyone think they could dig the whole of uk up and lay cables as think as an elphants trunk to service all the charging points required in 6 years time.
These are the people which left school and went to uni, all came out half daft, my old g dad called them educated nitwits.
It is having "Targets" and signed SLA (service level agreements) that causes things to not happen in logical ways. digging a hole and keeping it open an extra day or 2 to update all the cables/pipework makes total sense, but whoever digs it has to fil in it within a certain time to avoid penalty fines. So digging the same hole 4 times is more expensive, creates more inconvience but is what we end up withBeen a few protest recently in Hull, seems some regulation/law whatever went in a few years back(?) that allows company’s to install telegraph poles without needing permission.

Wouldn’t be so bad but footpath has been dug up twice in the last 12 months as well by broadband company’s. Would t you think they would put their heads together and all lay/replace stuff at the same time to save money and disruption?
Sorry, that may be a bit too much as it requires joined up thinking
